Summary

This trial is to see if a medicine called spesolimab helps people with Netherton Syndrome. Participants receive an injection every month for one year & doctors regularly check symptoms & health.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 12 and older with Netherton syndrome, a skin condition. Participants must have moderate to severe symptoms, be willing to use effective birth control if applicable, and weigh at least 35kg. They cannot have used certain medications or treatments recently or received live vaccines within the last month.
What is being tested?
The study tests spesolimab's effectiveness in treating Netherton syndrome compared to a placebo. Initially given as an infusion, then monthly injections under the skin, participants are randomly assigned to either treatment with a higher chance of receiving spesolimab.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, participants' general health will be monitored regularly for any unwanted effects of spesolimab throughout the year-long study.
