[0003] The Disclosure relates to the treatment of a skin condition in a subject, including but not limited to hyperhidrosis, comprising the step of applying to the skin of the subject a first composition comprising Spongilla and a second composition comprising one or more botulinum toxins. The Disclosure also relates to a product or kit for the treatment of a skin condition in a subject, including but not limited to hyperhidrosis, comprising a first composition comprising Spongilla and a second composition comprising one or more botulinum toxins.

[Background technology] 【0004】

[0004] Skin conditions in subjects including human subjects, including acne vulgaris, type 1 rosacea, type 2 rosacea, psoriasis, hyperhidrosis, alopecia areata, male pattern baldness, keloids and hypertrophic scars, hidradenitis suppurativa, Raynaud's phenomenon, postherpetic neuralgia, Hailey-Hailey disease, IgA bullous dermatosis, Weber-Cockane type epidermolysis bullosa Simplex Weber-Cockane, Darier's disease, pachyonchia congenita, aquagenic keratoderma, notalgia paresthetic, dyshidrotic eczema, chromohidrosis and bromhidrosis, and eccrine nevi, can be difficult to treat. While topical treatment of these skin conditions is successful in some cases, the proper use of topical therapies is often more complex than that of oral therapies, and adherence can be a particularly significant problem with topical treatments. Poor adherence to treatment regimens using topical therapies, the development of drug resistance, and increased costs can contribute to treatment failure. Therefore, methods of treating these skin conditions in subjects using topical products with a simpler dosage paradigm (e.g., applied once a week) offer an opportunity to demonstrate greater treatment success through improved subject adherence. 【0005】

[0005] Several skin conditions in the subject have been treated by topical application of materials derived from naturally occurring sponges, such as Spongilla lacustris. Several materials derived from Spongilla are recommended for the treatment of certain skin conditions, such as acne vulgaris, and as cosmetics. Spongilla contains organic and inorganic compounds. The total lipid content is about 5% of the biomass of the dried sponge, and the proteins consist of spongy tissue or hardened collagen. Polysaccharides and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG) are part of chitin and chitosan, which have been reported to be important components in the skeletal fibers of Spongilla lacustris, with 750 ± 1.5 μg of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine detected per 1 mg of the skeleton excluding the spicule. Chitin and chitosan are described as a family of linear polysaccharides consisting of varying amounts of α or β(1-4) bonded N-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose residues and 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose residues. In α-chitin, the chains are arranged in sheets or layers, and within any one sheet, the chains have the same direction or "sense." In β-chitin, adjacent sheets along the c-axis have the same direction and the sheets are parallel, while in α-chitin, adjacent sheets along the c-axis have opposite directions and the sheets are antiparallel. Chitin can be deacetylated to chitosan and further broken down into N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG) units. Chitosan preparations are classified into natural chitosan, chitosan formulations containing other substances, complexes, and derivatives. Chitosan can be used to prevent or treat wound and burn infections not only due to its endogenous antibacterial properties but also by its ability to deliver exogenous antibacterial agents to wounds and burns. Chitosan is water-soluble and becomes highly viscous in diluted acidic solutions. Soluble chitosan oligosaccharides were found to help suppress LPS-induced nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer in activated B cell (NF-κB)-dependent inflammatory gene expression, which was associated with reduced nuclear translocation of NF-κB. Chitosan has also been shown to have antibacterial effects against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus.Chitosan of different molecular weights (MW) was tested for antimicrobial activity (low MW (50-190 kDa), medium MW (190-310 kDa), and high MW (310-375+ kDa) chitosan). Clinical trials showed that NAG rapidly reduced the number of acne lesions over 8 weeks in subjects with acne vulgaris and was better tolerated than 10% benzoyl peroxide by these subjects. Higher molecular weights were used to show greater efficacy against the Gram-positive bacterium Propionibacterium acnes, and concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 μg / mL were tested against Propionibacterium acnes. 【0006】

[0006] Hyperhidrosis is a disorder characterized by excessive sweating that is disproportionate to thermoregulatory requirements. Many individuals may exhibit this excessive sweating in response to specific triggers (e.g., mental stress), while others may present spontaneously. Diagnosis of hyperhidrosis is partly based on subjective measures that assess how excessive sweating affects the individual's quality of life. The amount of sweat produced can be measured by gravimetric analysis, but there is no standardized threshold for defining hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis can be classified as either focal (affecting a specific area such as the palms or armpits) or generalized (affecting the entire body). Hyperhidrosis can be secondary to a wide variety of other conditions and usually presents as generalized hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis, on the other hand, is idiopathic and commonly presents as focal sweating, most frequently occurring in the armpits (51%), soles of the feet (30%), palms (24%), and face (10%). Primary focal axillary hyperhidrosis is not uncommon. The prevalence in the United States is estimated at 2.8% of the population, comparable to that of psoriasis. Conventional treatments are generally ineffective, and due to the significant social embarrassment associated with the condition, two-thirds of those affected do not seek treatment. Furthermore, hyperhidrosis carries a heavy burden not only due to its impact on quality of life and psychosocial health, but also potentially leading to bacterial and fungal overgrowth. Primary hyperhidrosis is idiopathic, but the mechanism is thought to be neurogenic hyperactivity of eccrine glands in the affected area. The hypothesis for this mechanism is type A Supported by the clinical effects observed with botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin type A is used in ecru. It works by interfering with sympathetic nerve stimulation of the glands, resulting in a significant reduction in axillary sweating. The effects last for 12 months. However, the skin penetration and volumetric effects from botulinum toxin treatment cause injection site pain. Given the nature of the target tissue, injection site pain is considered a major cause of lack of compliance, especially when numerous injections must be administered to sensitive skin areas such as the armpits. Therefore, topical products with a simpler administration paradigm that allow botulinum toxin to penetrate through the stratum corneum into the dermis may gain greater compliance and adoption by improving the tolerability of the treatment. 【0007】

[0007] The inventors of the subject matter disclosed herein have found that a key component of the material derived from Spongilla is siliceous bone needles containing the skeletal structure of Spongilla. The inventors have found that the bone needles penetrate the stratum corneum of the target skin during application and promote the shedding of keratinocytes. The inventors of the subject matter disclosed herein have also found that the bone needles derived from Spongilla are useful in facilitating and enabling the penetration of certain therapeutic compounds and compositions into the target skin to which the bone needles are applied. Otherwise, the compounds and compositions would not be able to penetrate the target skin to reach their therapeutic targets and treat certain skin conditions. Compounds and compositions that can penetrate the skin better in the presence of the material derived from Spongilla are, among other things, products containing botulinum toxin. 【0008】

[0008] Products containing botulinum toxin have been shown to be useful in treating several medical conditions, including those affecting the skin of the subject. For example, products containing botulinum toxin have been approved for the treatment of subjects suffering from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Topical application of products containing botulinum toxin may also be useful in the treatment of subjects suffering from acne (see, for example, U.S. Patent No. 7,226,605). However, the problems with using one or more products containing botulinum toxin for the topical treatment of skin conditions in subjects are well known. One problem with the topical use of botulinum toxin-containing products is the recognition that endogenous non-toxic proteins (i.e., non-toxic hemagglutinin proteins and non-hemagglutinin proteins) in the botulinum toxin complex obtained from Clostridium botulinum reduce the ability of the toxin to diffuse through the skin epithelium. These effects may be further exacerbated if exogenous stabilizers such as albumin bind to the botulinum toxin during conventional manufacturing processes. Therefore, applying a composition containing Spongilla, for example in powder form, to the target skin may help facilitate the penetration of one or more topical application products containing botulinum toxins into the target skin, potentially leading to the use of new treatment regimens when skin conditions are difficult to treat.

[0042] 【0047】 Spongilla, including Spongilla lacustris, and powders prepared from Spongilla, used in the methods disclosed herein, can be obtained, processed, and characterized by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, U.S. Patent No. 7,604,821 describes the harvesting, processing, and characterization of several Spongilla species, including Spongilla lacustris. The disclosure of U.S. Patent No. 7,604,821 is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Sponge material can be collected using methods generally known to those skilled in the art in the field of marine biology. For example, sponges can be collected manually using basic diving techniques. In shallow or deeper waters, larger colonies are harvested using an agathias roll (AGT) or an epibenthic sledge (EBS). Under certain environmental conditions, Spongilla colonies exist in thin, shell-like spreads several meters wide and must be collected manually using tools such as forks and nets. The collected sponge masses are dried to remove coarse impurities such as shells, stalks, plants, stones, and other contaminants, and then washed to remove mud, sand, silt, and soluble impurities. The cleaned sponge masses are weighed and dried using methods known to those skilled in the art, such as air drying or using a dryer used for dehydrating food and pharmaceuticals. The sponge masses are dried until the residual moisture content is less than the desired value as further disclosed herein. Residual moisture measurement can be performed using methods generally known in the fields of food science, analytical chemistry, or pharmaceuticals. For example, 10 grams of dry material can be placed on a weighing boat with a tare weight and then weighed. The weighed material is then exposed to a heat source such as a drying oven or heat lamp operated at an appropriate temperature, and then the sample is cooled in a desiccated chamber and weighed again. The residual moisture content is calculated as the percentage difference between the sample weight before drying and the weight after cooling. After drying, the sponge material can be packaged in a sealed container that protects the material from light, moisture, and oxygen, if necessary. The material can then be further tested for the presence of pathogens, E. coli-type organisms, and organisms that form bioburden. Further heating or irradiation of the material as disclosed herein can reduce the presence of pathogens, E. coli-type organisms, or other organisms that form bioburden. The material can then be further processed using methods known to those skilled in the art to obtain a powder containing particles of a desired size. For example, the sponge material can be pulverized and the resulting material can be passed through one or more sieves of a predetermined size to ensure that the resulting material contains particles of uniform or substantially uniform size. After the final processing and particle separation steps are completed, the dried sponge material can be packaged in an airtight, moisture-proof container and stored at a suitable temperature, such as room temperature or ambient temperature.

[0109] 【0115】 Acne vulgaris is caused by the obstruction of the hair follicle sebaceous gland unit (hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland) and Acne is a common chronic skin disease involving eczema and / or inflammation. Acne is most common on the face, but can also affect the back and chest, and may exist as non-inflammatory lesions, inflammatory lesions, or a combination of both. The effectiveness of a treatment regimen in a subject with acne vulgaris can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as measurement of the number of lesions and a physician's comprehensive assessment of the subject's face, as described below.

[0110] [Table 1]

[0111] 【0116】 Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects the convex areas of the central face (cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead). It is clearly distinguishable as a skin disorder and is often characterized by remission and relapse. Based on current knowledge, rosacea is considered a syndrome or type that includes various combinations of skin signs such as flushing, erythema, telangiectasia, edema, papules, pustules, ocular lesions, and rhinophyma. In most cases, some, rather than all, of these signs appear in any given subject. Acne rosacea type 1, or erythematous telangiectasia, is primarily characterized by flushing and persistent erythema in the center of the face. The appearance of telangiectasia is common but not essential for the diagnosis of this subtype. Edema in the center of the face, tingling and burning sensations, as well as roughness or scalyness, may also be reported. Among subjects presenting with erythematous telangiectasia, a history of flushing alone is common. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in subjects with type 1 rosacea acne can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as the Clinician Erythema Assessment (CEA), a five-level grading scale for facial erythema severity, and the Subject Self-Assessment (SSA), as described below.

[0112] 【0117】

[0113] [Table 2]

[0114] 【0118】

[0115] [Table 3]

[0116] 【0119】 Type 2 rosacea (papulopustular) is characterized by transient papules distributed in the center of the face or It is characterized by persistent erythema in the center of the face, accompanied by pustules or both. However, papules and pustules may also occur around orifices (i.e., around the mouth, nose, or eyes). The papular-pustular subtype resembles acne vulgaris, except that comedones are absent. Rosacea and acne may occur simultaneously, and such individuals may have comedones in addition to the papules and pustules of rosacea. Burning and tingling sensations may also be reported by individuals with papular-pustular rosacea. This subtype is often observed after or in combination with subtype 1, which includes the presence of telangiectasias. Telangiectasias can be obscured by persistent erythema, papules, or pustules, and tend to become more visible after these concealing components have been successfully treated. The effectiveness of a treatment regimen in subjects with type 2 rosacea acne can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as the total number of lesions in the skin area of ​​the subject receiving treatment, and by a comprehensive physician assessment as described below.

[0117] 【0120】

[0118] [Table 4]

[0119] 【0121】 Psoriasis is a skin condition in which the life cycle of skin cells is accelerated. It rapidly accumulates on the surface of the skin. The excess skin cells form itchy, sometimes painful, scaly, and red patches. Symptoms that a person with psoriasis may exhibit include red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery-white scales, scaly patches (common in children), dry and cracked skin that may bleed, itch, burn, or sting, thickened, indented, or wavy nails, and swollen and stiff joints. The effectiveness of a treatment regimen in a person with psoriasis can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI). The use of PASI involves dividing the subject's body into four sections: head (H) (10% of human skin), arms (A) (20%), trunk (T) (30%), and legs (L) (40%). Each of these areas is scored in itself, and then the four scores are combined to arrive at the final PASI. For each section, the percentage of the skin area of ​​the lesion is estimated and then converted to a grade of 0-6 as shown in the table below. Within each area, the severity is estimated by three clinical signs: erythema (redness), induration (thickness), and desquamation (scaling). Severity parameters are measured on a scale of 0-4 from zero to the maximum. Then, the sum of all these severity parameters is calculated for each skin section, multiplied by the area score for that section, and then multiplied by the weight of each section (0.1 for the head, 0.2 for the arms, 0.3 for the torso, and 0.4 for the legs).

[0120] 【0122】

[0121] [Table 5]

[0122] 【0123】 Hyperhidrosis is generally an abnormal increase in sweating that exceeds the amount necessary for regulating body temperature. This condition is characterized by excessive sweating. While hyperhidrosis is primarily a physical burden, it can also reduce the quality of life from psychological, emotional, and social perspectives. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in subjects with hyperhidrosis can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by using the Hyperhidrosis Severity Scale (HDSS), a four-point scale designed to assess the severity of primary axillary hyperhidrosis in routine clinical practice or clinical research. The HDSS may be administered by an interviewer or self-completed by the subject. The HDSS assesses the severity of a subject based on the degree of impairment of daily activities associated with excessive sweating. Subjects grade their severity as follows: 1 = I don't mind underarm sweating at all, and it doesn't interfere with my daily activities at all; 2 = I can tolerate underarm sweating, but it occasionally interferes with my daily activities; 3 = I can hardly tolerate underarm sweating, and it frequently interferes with my daily activities; or 4 = I cannot tolerate underarm sweating, and it constantly interferes with my daily activities.

[0123] 【0124】 The effectiveness of treatment regimens in subjects with hyperhidrosis depends on the severity of axillary hyperhidrosis. Effective patient-reported outcome measures for evaluating this may be the use of the Axillary Sweating Daily Diary (ASDD) Item 2 and / or the Axillary Sweating Daily Diary-Children (ASDD-C). ADSS Item 2 asks subjects to rate their worst axillary sweating in the preceding 24 hours, using a 10-point scale where a score of zero (0) corresponds to "no sweating at all" and a score of 10 corresponds to "worst possible sweating." For the content of ASDD and ASDD-C, including Item 2, see Glaser et al., J.Am.Acad.Dermatol., 2018, Supplemental Figure 1.

[0124] 【0125】 Alopecia areata causes hair loss on the scalp, face, and sometimes other areas of the body. It is an autoimmune skin disease. In fact, as many as 6.8 million people in the United States suffer from alopecia areata. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in subjects with alopecia areata is known to those skilled in the art. This can be measured, for example, by using fixed hair counting and non-fixed hair counting on the pillow in question.

[0125] 【0126】 Male pattern baldness is a condition in which terminal hairs gradually transform into intermediate hairs, and eventually into vellus hairs. It is a genetically determined disorder characterized by the following: Androgenetic alopecia is a very common disease affecting both men and women. Individuals with androgenetic alopecia generally exhibit symptoms such as a gradual onset of hair loss, increased shedding, and a progression of affected areas from abundant, thick, pigmented terminal hairs to thinner, shorter intermediate hairs, and finally to short, weak, unpigmented vellus hairs, which may result in complete baldness, but the extent of the affected area varies from person to person and is usually most pronounced on the crown of the head. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in individuals with androgenetic alopecia can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by using fixed hair counting and non-fixed hair counting on the subject's pillow.

[0126] 【0127】 A keloid is a raised, reddish nodule that forms on the site of an injury. After a wound occurs, both skin cells and connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) increase to begin repairing the damage. Scars are composed of "connective tissue," which is cartilage-like fibers deposited in the skin by fibroblasts to keep the wound closed. Fibroblasts continue to increase even after the wound has closed, resulting in keloids. Therefore, keloids protrude above the surface of the skin, forming large raised bumps of scar tissue. Keloids can develop on any part of the body, although the upper chest, shoulders, and upper back are particularly prone to keloid formation. Symptoms include skin discoloration, itching, redness, unusual sensations, and pain. People with darker skin tones appear to be more prone to keloid formation. Men and women are equally susceptible. Keloids are considered benign tumors, but are primarily undesirable for cosmetic reasons and never become malignant. Surgery for keloids typically stimulates the formation of more scar tissue, and therefore, many subjects with keloids may be told that there are no available treatments. Hypertrophic scars generally do not grow as large as keloids, may disappear over time, occur in all racial groups, but appear like keloids and are more common. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in subjects with keloids and / or hypertrophic scars is assessed by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, using the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), Manchester Scar Scale (MSS), and Subject and Observer Scar Assessment Scales. It can be measured using the Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale (SBSES).

[0127] 【0128】 Hidradenitis suppurativa is a disease that usually begins as acne-like bumps on the skin. Acne tends to occur in areas where nodules do not appear, most commonly in the armpits and groin. If hidradenitis suppurativa worsens, the acne-like bumps may grow deeper into the skin, become painful, and may even rupture. When deep bumps heal, scarring may occur, and in some individuals, a tunnel-like pathway for scar formation may develop beneath the skin, which may become thicker. Thick scarring in the armpits may make it difficult to move the arm. Thick scarring in the groin area may make walking difficult. The effectiveness of a treatment regimen in individuals suffering from hidradenitis suppurativa can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by visually counting the number of lesions in the affected area of ​​the skin of the individual.

[0128] 【0129】 Raynaud's phenomenon is most commonly observed after exposure to cold, where the skin changes from pale to blue and then to red. Raynaud's phenomenon is a type of vascular disease characterized by discoloration of the fingers. The cause of Raynaud's phenomenon is unknown, although it is suspected to involve abnormal nerve control of vascular diameter and abnormal nerve sensitivity to cold. The symptoms of Raynaud's phenomenon vary depending on the severity, frequency, and duration of vasospasm. The effectiveness of a treatment regimen in a patient suffering from Raynaud's phenomenon can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as measuring fingertip temperature, photographic evaluation of the affected area, and a visual analog scale for pain in the affected area.

[0129] 【0130】 Postherpetic neuralgia is generally caused by the varicella (herpes zoster) virus. It is considered a complication of herpes zoster. Postherpetic neuralgia affects nerve fibers and skin, causing a burning pain that persists long after the herpes zoster rash and blisters have disappeared. The signs and symptoms of postherpetic neuralgia are generally limited to the area of ​​the subject's skin where the herpes zoster outbreak first occurred. The signs and symptoms of postherpetic neuralgia may include pain lasting three months or longer after the herpes zoster rash has healed, sensitivity to light touch, and itching and numbness in the affected area. The effectiveness of a treatment regimen in a subject suffering from postherpetic neuralgia can be measured by a method known to those skilled in the art, namely, the use of a visual analog scale for pain in the affected area.

[0130] 【0131】 Hailey-Hailey disease (familial benign pemphigus) is a genetic condition that causes the formation of blisters on the skin. Hailey-Hailey disease is a sexual disorder characterized by a surge in skin lesions and blisters, usually in the folds of skin but often over a wide area of ​​the body. Painful blisters rupture, sometimes become infected, and become raw, with new blisters forming on the raw skin in what sometimes seems like an endless cycle of surges. The cause of the disease is haploinsufficiency of the ATP2C1 enzyme that codes for the hSPCA1 protein. A mutation in one copy of the gene results in only half of this necessary protein being produced, causing skin cells to fail to properly adhere to each other due to abnormal formation of intercellular adhesion plaques, leading to acantholysis, blistering, and skin lesions. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in subjects with Hailey-Hailey disease can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by counting the total number of lesions in the subjects, and a reduction in the total number of lesions indicates that the treatment regimen has a positive effect.

[0131] 【0132】 Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is characterized by the stratum lucidum and stratum compacta. LABD is a rare subepidermal blistering disorder caused by an autoimmune reaction against basement membrane proteins such as IgA densa. The basement membrane anchors the epidermis to the dermis and promotes skin stabilization. When IgA antibodies target these proteins, the basement membrane becomes unstable, resulting in the formation of firm blisters. In most cases of LABD, the cause is unknown or idiopathic. Furthermore, more than half of all childhood cases tend to remit within an average of 2 to 4 years. In adults, the course can be longer, and LABD has been shown to occur in individuals with underlying malignancies, infections, and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and dermatomyositis. Other cases of LABD are drug-induced, often due to vancomycin, and in some cases, the subject may develop a rash shortly after the first dose of vancomycin. The effectiveness of a treatment regimen in subjects suffering from LABD can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by counting the total number of lesions in the subjects, and a reduction in the total number of lesions indicates that the treatment regimen has a positive effect.

[0132] 【0133】 Epidermolysis bullosa (EBS) is a condition that presents with odor on the hands, elbows, or knees from birth through childhood. EBS is a chronic vesicular disorder characterized by the formation of intraepidermal vesicles and milia with minimal trauma. EBS is a genetic disorder caused by dominant-negative mutations in either the keratin 5 (KRT5) or keratin 14 (KRT14) gene. Based on its clinical manifestations, EBS is subdivided into systemic (Koebner), localized (Weber-Cockayne), and herpetiform (Dowling-Meara) type 1. Localized EBS is the mildest subtype, characterized by the easy formation of vesicles on the palms and soles of the feet with minimal mechanical trauma. Molecular genetic studies of EBS suggest that mutations in KRT5 and KRT14, which contribute to the hemiadhesive plaque structure in keratinocytes located in the basal layer near the dermal-epidermal junction, are present. Mutations in each subtype of EBS vary in location and severity.2,3 The effectiveness of a treatment regimen in subjects affected by EBS can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by counting the total number of lesions in the subjects, and a reduction in the total number of lesions indicates that the treatment regimen has a positive effect.

[0133] 【0134】 Darier's disease is a skin condition characterized by wart-like spots on the body. The spots are yellow. The spots are typically polished in color, hard to the touch, slightly greasy, and may emit a strong odor. The most common sites of the spots are the scalp, forehead, upper arms, chest, back, knees, elbows, and behind the ears. Mucous membranes can also be affected, with spots appearing on the roof of the mouth (palate), tongue, inside of the cheeks, gums, and throat. Other features of Darier's disease include nail abnormalities, such as red and white streaks on bumpy nails, as well as small holes on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The characteristic wart-like spots of Darier's disease usually appear in late childhood or early adulthood. The severity of the disease varies over time, with patients experiencing sudden relapses alternating with periods of only a few spots. The appearance of the spots is influenced by environmental factors. Most people with Darier's disease develop more spots during the summer months when they are exposed to heat and humidity. UV light, minor injuries or friction such as abrasions or scratches, and the ingestion of certain drugs can also cause an increase in spots. The effectiveness of a treatment regimen in subjects with Darier's disease can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as counting the total number of lesions and measuring the size of the lesions in the subject, and a reduction in the total number of lesions indicates that the treatment regimen has a positive effect.

[0134] 【0135】 Congenital onychoplasty is a condition that primarily affects the nails and skin. The signs and symptoms of this condition usually become apparent within the first few months of the subject's life. Almost all individuals with congenital onychomycosis have hypertrophic onychomycosis, in which the fingernails and toenails are thickened and abnormally shaped. Many pediatric patients also develop very painful blisters and calluses on the soles of their feet, and less often on their palms. This condition is known as palmoplantar keratosis. Severe blisters and calluses on the feet can make walking painful or difficult. Congenital onychomycosis may have several additional features that vary among affected individuals. These features include thickened white patches on the tongue and inside of the cheeks (oral leukokeratosis); follicular keratosis, which are bumps that occur around hair follicles on the elbows, knees, and torso; cysts on the axillae, groin, back, or scalp; and excessive sweating on the palms and soles of the feet (palmoplantar hyperhidrosis). Some affected individuals also develop extensive cysts called sebaceous cysts, which are typically filled with an oily substance called sebum that smooths the skin and hair. Some infants with congenital onychomycosis have prenatal teeth or natal teeth, which are teeth present at birth or in early childhood. Rarely, congenital onychomycosis can affect the larynx, potentially leading to hoarseness or breathing problems. The effectiveness of a treatment regimen in subjects with congenital onychomycosis can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as counting the total number of blisters on the affected area of ​​the subject and measuring the size of the blisters.

[0135] 【0136】Aquatic keratoderma (AK), also known as acquired aquagenic palmoplantar keratoderma, transient reactive papulotranslucent acrokeratoderma, aquagenic wrinkling of the palms, or aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma, is a skin disorder. The main features of this disorder are edema of the palms / plantars, whitish papules, itchiness, burning, and painful wrinkles of the skin following contact with water. Prolonged water exposure and water temperature influence the rate and severity of lesion development. However, the etiology of AK is largely unknown. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in subjects with AK is assessed by counting the total number of lesions in the subjects, visual analog pain scores, and visual It can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as analog pruritus scores.

[0136] 【0137】 Back paresthesia is a sensory neuropathic syndrome of the mid-back skin, classically described as being located below the unilateral scapula. Back paresthesia is primarily a localized itchy and paresthesia syndrome, sometimes presenting with occasional itching or pain in small compartments of the mid-back, areas of skin that are normally easily accessible. The correlation between localized back paresthesia and corresponding spinal degenerative changes suggests that spinal nerve impingement may be a contributing factor, but also that subjects may have other conditions that predispose them to peripheral neuropathy, such as nerve damage. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in subjects with back paresthesia can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as counting the total number of lesions, visual analog pain scores, and visual analog pruritus scores.

[0137] 【0138】Dyshidrotic eczema is a skin condition characterized by the appearance of very small, fluid-filled blisters on the palms of the hands, sides of the fingers, and soles of the feet. The blisters that occur in dyshidrosis can cause intense itching and, when dry, can make the skin appear scaly. The blisters typically recur, sometimes before the skin has completely healed from previous blisters. The effectiveness of a treatment regimen in a person suffering from dyshidrotic eczema can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as observation of the signs and symptoms of the eczema, a visual analog pain score, and a visual analog pruritus score.

[0138] 【0139】 Phenohitrosis is a condition characterized by the secretion of colored sweat, resulting from the deposition of lipofuscin in the sweat glands. Phenohitrosis usually affects the apocrine glands, primarily in the face and armpits. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in subjects suffering from phenohitrosis can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as observation of sweat signs and odor in the affected subjects.

[0139] 【0140】 Odorosis, also known as axillary osmidrosis, is a condition of abnormal or unpleasant body odor largely determined by apocrine gland secretion, although other sources may play a role. Sweat glands are divided into two types: apocrine and eccrine, and some cross-pollination is observed in certain individuals. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in individuals suffering from odorosis can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as observation of the odor of sweat in the affected individuals.

[0140] 【0141】 Eccrine nevi are conditions that can be present at birth or at a young age. They are often accompanied by localized hyperhidrosis, but cases without localized hyperhidrosis have also been reported. Eccrine nevi are usually histologically characterized by an increase in the number or size of structurally normal eccrine glands. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in subjects with eccrine nevi can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as the use of the Hyperhidrosis Severity Scale (HDSS) and the measurement of the number of sweat episodes per month in affected subjects.

[0141] 【0142】 Facial wrinkles are a condition in subjects characterized by moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator supercilii and / or procerus muscle activity, moderate to severe lateral canthal lines associated with orbicularis oculi muscle activity, and / or moderate to severe forehead lines associated with frontalis muscle activity. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in subjects with facial wrinkles can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, including the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale (FWS; 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe).

[0142] 【0143】 Atrophic acne scars can occur in individuals with acne. The effectiveness of treatment regimens in individuals with atrophic acne scars is assessed by self-assessment of clinical acne-related scars. It can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art, including the (SCARS) and Facial Acne Scar Quality of Life (FASQoL) tools.
