Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject, or legally authorized representative, must be willing and able to give /assent
  2. Aged ≥6 months
  3. A genetically confirmed diagnosis of TGM1-deficient ARCI
  4. Clinical diagnosis of lamellar ichthyosis
  5. Two target areas located on similar anatomical regions with the same scaling severity by IGA and scaling severity ≥3
  6. Subjects taking systemic retinoids must be on a stable regimen for at least 4 weeks and agree to continue to take the medication consistently throughout the study. If the subject prefers to withhold systemic retinoids during the study, then a minimum 4-week is required
  7. Clinically stable and in good general health

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject has a physical condition or other dermatological disorder (e.g., atopic, seborrheic, or contact dermatitis, psoriasis, tinea infections, etc.) which, in the Investigator's opinion, might impair evaluation of the target areas or which exposes the subject to unacceptable risk by study participation
  2. Participation in another clinical study or treatment with an agent within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer
  3. Any condition or illness (including a history or current evidence of substance abuse or dependence) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would impact a subject's ability to complete all study-related procedures and/or poses an additional risk to the assessment of safety of KB105
  4. Women who are pregnant or nursing
  5. Subject who is unwilling to comply with requirements per protocol
  6. Subject is known to be noncompliant or is unlikely to comply with the requirements of the study protocol in the opinion of the Investigator
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

Investigational drug or device

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.

Contraception

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Composite Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Responder (Comparison of proportion of responder KB105 target areas to responder placebo target areas)

    Responder target areas are defined as: Target areas with ≥2 point reduction from baseline on IGA scaling severity at Week 9 or Target areas with ≥1 point reduction from baseline on IGA scaling severity for 2 consecutive weeks (Week 8 and Week 9)

    Time frame: Week 9

Secondary outcomes

  1. Composite regional Visual Index of Ichthyosis Severity (VIIS) responder (Comparison of proportion of responder KB105 target areas to responder placebo target areas)

    Responder target areas are defined as: Target areas with ≥2 point reduction from baseline on VIIS scaling score at Week 9 or Target areas with ≥1 point reduction from baseline on VIIS scaling score for 2 consecutive weeks (Week 8 and Week 9)

    Time frame: Week 9

  2. Visual Index of Ichthyosis Severity score change from baseline

    Change from baseline in regional Visual Index of Ichthyosis Severity (VIIS) scaling scores, where 0 is normal and 4 is severe

    Time frame: Up to 11 weeks

  3. Investigator's Global Assessment change from baseline

    Change from baseline in Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) scaling severity scores, where 0 is clear and 4 is severe

    Time frame: Up to 11 weeks

  4. Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) 2 point responder

    Comparison of proportion of KB105 and placebo target areas with ≥2 point reduction from baseline on IGA scaling severity at Week 9

    Time frame: Week 9

  5. Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) 1 point responder

    Comparison of proportion of KB105 and placebo target areas with ≥1 point reduction from baseline on IGA scaling severity for 2 consecutive weeks (Week 8 and Week 9)

    Time frame: Week 9

  6. Visual Index of Ichthyosis Severity (VIIS) 2 point responder

    Comparison of proportion of KB105 and placebo target areas with ≥2 point reduction from baseline on regional VIIS scaling severity at Week 9

    Time frame: Week 9

  7. Visual Index of Ichthyosis Severity (VIIS) 2 point responder

    Comparison of proportion of KB105 and placebo target areas with ≥1 point reduction from baseline on regional VIIS scaling severity for 2 consecutive weeks (Week 8 and Week 9)

    Time frame: Week 9

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 23, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
