  4. Ichthyosis linearis circumflexa or scaling erythroderma or equivalent
  5. Immunohistochemistry documentation of absence of LEKTI in the skin or confirmed SPINK5 gene mutations
  6. NS involvement of ≥20% of Body Surface Area (BSA)
  7. Patients must give written informed consent to participation in the study prior to Screening
  8. Participants must be willing and able to understand and comply with study requirements
  9. Participants must be willing to have skin tape harvests collected from lesional and nonlesional skin areas

EXCLUSION CRITERIA

Exclusion Criteria:

  2. Any infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, antiparasitics, or antifungals within 2 weeks before Screening visit
  3. Concomitant systemic disease not controlled by treatment. Stability for 3 months prior to Screening is required
  4. Kidney or liver disease with significant impairment of organ function (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault Equation, and Child-Pugh Class C; ALT and AST >2 × ULN range; total bilirubin >1 × ULN).
  5. Concomitant disease or condition that may interfere with, or treatment of which may interfere with, the conduct of the study or that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, pose an unacceptable risk to the patient in this study
  6. Any significant condition (eg, medical, psychiatric, or social) that according to Investigator's judgment would prevent compliance with study protocol and full study participation
  7. Known hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the study drug product
  8. Anticipation of the need for surgery or hospitalization during the study
  9. History of suicide attempt or suicidal ideation within 1 year prior to Screening
  10. History of substance abuse within 6 months prior to Screening or a positive urine drug test at Screening. Medical marijuana may be used per discretion of the Investigator

  12. Active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, determined by positive test result for hepatitis B surface antigen, at Screening
  13. Active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, determined as HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) above the limit of detection in patients with positive HCV antibody titer, at Screening
  14. Use of topical drugs that may alter the course of NS (eg, topical corticosteroids and topical calcineurin inhibitors) within 2 weeks before Screening or anticipation of need to use these drugs during study drug
  15. Systemic treatment with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, targeted therapeutics, biologics, and IV Ig within 8 weeks before Screening
  16. Participation in any other clinical study or expanded access program with an investigational drug or device within 4 weeks before Screening
  17. Suspected or confirmed COVID-19 within 4 weeks before or ongoing at Screening and planned vaccination against COVID-19 during study drug
