The CUV156 study will evaluate the safety of afamelanotide in XP-C patients, as well as the drug's ability to assist reparative processes following ultraviolet (UV) provoked DNA damage of the skin. It will assess whether SCENESSE® increases the amount of UV light needed to cause DNA damage of skin cells, as well as the extent of skin repair before and after treatment.
Clinuvel Europe Limited is the lead sponsor of 3 studies on the registry; 2 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Drug: Afamelanotide
Patients will receive afamelanotide every two weeks for twelve weeks and undergo a follow up visit 6 months later.
Change in minimal erythema dose (MED).
MED is the lowest dose of UV light that causes reddening of the skin.
Time frame: From Baseline to Day 76.
Change in UV-induced DNA damage and repair capacity.
Analysis of UV photoproducts and DNA repair mechanisms.
Time frame: From Baseline to Day 76.
Change in skin disease severity (A).
The higher the score, the more severe the disease.
Time frame: From Baseline to Day 238.
Change in skin disease severity (B).
The higher the score, the more severe the disease.
Time frame: From Baseline to Day 238.
Change in skin disease severity (C).
The higher the score, the more severe the disease.
Time frame: From Baseline to Day 238.
Change in dermal melanin density.
Non-invasive quantitative skin reflectance measurement.
Time frame: From Baseline to Day 238.
Change in quality of life assessed by a disease specific tool (A)
Higher scores represent worse health-related quality of life.
Time frame: From Baseline to Day 238.
Change in quality of life assessed by a validated global quality of life tool (B)
Score calculated in impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impaired quality of life.
Time frame: From Baseline to Day 238.
Started Oct 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2024, 29 months after the start.
