About this clinical trial

Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (referred to as “EPP”) or X-Linked Protoporphyria (referred to as “XLP”) are characterized by the accumulation of a molecule named protoporphyrin in the body, which leads to pain when the skin is exposed to sunlight. The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether an experimental drug called MT-7117 (Dersimelagon) is effective and well tolerated in reducing the severity of symptoms of EPP or XLP.
