Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are individuals aged 12 years or older with a confirmed ATP2C1 variant and stable background therapies.

Probably not a fit

Patients without a confirmed ATP2C1 variant or those with unstable concurrent treatments may have limited or no benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an open-label, early-phase trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of KB111 applied to Hailey-Hailey disease lesions for 12 weeks. Up to seven participants aged 12 and older will use KB111 at home, with weekly check-ins by a researcher or designee. Efficacy will be explored through clinician assessments, patient impressions of severity, and skin biopsy analyses, along with monitoring for adverse events. A safety follow-up visit occurs four weeks after treatment ends.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, KB111 could reduce lesion severity and improve symptoms for people with Hailey-Hailey disease.

How similar studies have gone: Previous early-phase topical approaches for Hailey-Hailey disease have shown safety signals and potential efficacy in small cohorts; this study explores a similar approach in a pediatric and adult population.
