Company

Company overview

Quoin Pharmaceuticals’ lead drug candidate is QRX003, a skin lotion being tested in patients with Netherton syndrome. It is designed to compensate for a missing protein’s function, helping skin shed more normally and strengthening its protective barrier. The company is also developing QRX003 for Peeling Skin Syndrome. No Quoin product has marketing approval, and the company has not generated revenue.

If QRX003 is approved, Quoin plans to sell it directly in the United States and Western Europe, through a subsidiary it is establishing in Japan, and through marketing partners elsewhere. Future sales would depend on physicians and patients accepting the treatment and on health insurers or other healthcare payors covering it at adequate reimbursement levels. Quoin relies on outside manufacturers for drug supplies.

For now, debt and equity financing, rather than medicine sales, fund its work. Continuing development requires additional capital, while reaching the market depends on favorable clinical results and regulatory approval.

Quoin Pharmaceuticals, Ltd.’s prospects hinge on QRX003’s clinical success and regulatory approval, with its formulation intellectual property licensed from Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals.

  • Azitra Inc and Quoin Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. are both dosing Netherton Syndrome patients in clinical studies, putting them in competition for future treatment sales; neither has begun commercial sales. Watch Azitra’s trial results for signs that its skin-disease therapies could reach approval first or constrain QRX003’s future demand and pricing.

  • BioCryst Pharmaceuticals Inc’s Netherton Syndrome trial results and approval progress matter to Quoin Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. because both are developing treatments for those patients. BioCryst already earns revenue from medicines including ORLADEYO for hereditary angioedema, but its Netherton program is the one to watch for competition that could limit QRX003’s future sales.

  • Palvella Therapeutics, Inc. identifies Quoin Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. as a potential competitor: both develop treatments for people with serious rare skin diseases, and neither has approved products generating sales. Watch Palvella’s progress toward approved rare-skin-disease treatments, rather than current product revenue, for signs of future competition with Quoin’s development portfolio.
