Quoin Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage company developing QRX003 (proposed brand QYLEKI), a lotion for Netherton syndrome and peeling skin syndrome, rare genetic skin diseases with no approved treatment; it is not approved.
Quoin's case depends on QRX003's Phase 2/3 Netherton results supporting an NDA. Four of six participants met the interim primary endpoint after 12 weeks; topline data are expected in the second quarter of 2027. Extended pediatric compassionate-use experience adds support, but involves one patient receiving add-on treatment. Peeling skin syndrome and QRX009 offer expansion opportunities. August financing provided for approximately $30.8 million upfront; additional warrant funding remains optional, and management's funding projection assumes cash exercise of all accompanying warrants.
