Clinical Trial Description

This is an experimental non-randomized clinical study aimed at expanding the indications for the use of biological drugs with the aim of using them for the pathogenetic therapy of children with congenital ichthyosis. The study will include 50 children aged 6 months to 18 years with a clinically and genetically confirmed diagnosis of congenital ichthyosis. Patients will be divided into 4 groups who will receive symptomatic therapy (using active external agents, emollients and / or systemic retinoids) or biologics targeting the cytokines IL-12 / IL-23, IL-4 / IL-13 and IL -17A. Immunophenotyping of all patients will be performed, the cytokine profile and spectrum of sensitization and the degree of NF-kB activation in lymphocytes will be determined. In experimental group №3, 10 patients with Netherton syndrome will receive dupilumab, in experimental group №2, 10 patients will receive ustekinumab, and in experimental group №1 10 patients will receive secukinumab. Efficiency will be assessed using the Ichthyosis Area Severity Index (IASI), determination of the level of TEWL, and the change in quality of life will also be assessed using the Children's Dermatological Life Quality Index (CDLQI) in comparison from baseline, than at 16 and 52 weeks. Throughout the study, the safety profile (registration of the development of infectious diseases) will be assessed. ;
