Background: Emollients and keratolytics are frequently used to manage symptoms of congenital ichthyosis (CI). Systemic retinoid treatment is complicated by teratogenicity and dose-limiting adverse effects.
Objectives: This analysis from the randomized Phase IIb CONTROL study investigated the characteristics of participants who responded to treatment with TMB-001, a novel topical isotretinoin ointment formulation.
Background: In two severe congenital ichthyosis subtypes, autosomal recessive lamellar ichthyosis (ARCI-LI) and X-linked recessive ichthyosis (XLRI), cutaneous manifestations include widespread scaling. Approved topical treatment options are limited to emollients and keratolytics.
Aim: This analysis from the randomized phase IIb CONTROL study assessed whether the efficacy and safety of TMB-001, a novel topical isotretinoin ointment formulation, differed between ARCI-LI and XLRI subtypes.
