Confirmed diagnosis by genetic testing of ichthyosis of one of these subtypes: a) Congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis [ARCI]); b) Epidermolytic ichthyosis; c) Netherton syndrome; d) Ichthyosis en confetti; e) Other subtypes may be included (only subtypes in which high levels of IL-36γ expression in skin were confirmed by a ribonucleic acid [RNA] analysis [eg, RNA sequencing {RNA-seq}, polymerase chain reaction {PCR}] as part of other studies). Note: Confirmation of genetic subtype will be obtained prior to eligibility determination. 3. IASI total score ≥ 18, erythema score ≥ 2 (moderate severity) in ≥ 1 body region and scaling score ≥ 2 (moderate severity) in ≥ 1 body region as evaluated by IASI, and BSA involved with ichthyosis of at least 50% at Day 1. 4. Subject has been using an emollient (without pharmacological active ingredients) daily for at least 1 week prior to Day 1 (except within 3 hours prior to the study visit) and agrees to continue using that same emollient daily at the same frequency throughout the study. 5. Subject meets the following laboratory criteria at screening: a) Hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L (≥ 9 g/dL); b) White blood cell count ≥ 3.0 × 109/L (≥ 3.0 × 103/µL); c) Platelets ≥ 100 × 109/L (≥ 100 × 103/µL); d) Serum creatinine <132.6 µmol/L (< 1.5 mg/dL); e) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2 upper limit of normal (ULN); f) Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN. Subjects with known Gilbert’s disease who have serum bilirubin < 3 × ULN may be included. 6. Body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18 to 38 kg/m2, inclusive {BMI = weight (kg)/[height (m)]2}. 7. No clinically significant medical condition or physical/laboratory/ECG/vital signs abnormality that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, put the subject at undue risk or interfere with interpretation of study results. 8. Contraceptive use by men and women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. Contraception and pregnancy: a) A male subject must agree to use contraception as detailed in Appendix 1 of this protocol during the treatment period and for at least 220 days (which includes the duration of relevant exposure plus the duration of sperm cycle) after the last study treatment administration and refrain from donating sperm during this period. b) Female subjects: i) A woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) is eligible to participate if she has a negative serum pregnancy test (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at Day 1 (see Appendix 1), is not breastfeeding, and agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance in Appendix 1 during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after receiving the study treatment, and refrains from donating oocytes for assisted reproduction during this period. The female subject’s selected form of contraception must be effective by the time the female subject enters into the study at Day 1 (eg, hormonal contraception should be initiated at least 48 days before Day 1). ii) A woman not of childbearing potential as defined in Appendix 1, must have a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test confirming nonchildbearing potential. iii) An adolescent subject who experiences menarche during the trial will be considered a WOCBP and will be required to follow the contraceptive guidance for WOCBP in Appendix 1 and undergo pregnancy testing as detailed in the SoA (Section 1.3). 9. Subject is willing to participate and is capable of giving written informed consent, which must be personally signed and dated by the subject and obtained prior to any trial-related activities. Subjects who need to provide assent, as per local requirement, need to have their parent(s) or legal representative read and sign the informed consent form prior to any study-related procedures. Adolescent subjects who reach 18 years of age during the study must be reconsented as adults. 10. Subject must be willing to comply with all study procedures and must be available for the duration of the study. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |

A subject with ichthyosis vulgaris, X-linked ichthyosis, or lamellar ichthyosis will be excluded. 3. Subject has a history of clinically significant cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematological, renal, hepatic, cerebral or psychiatric disease, or other major uncontrolled disease. 4. Chronic or recurrent infectious disease, including but not limited to upper and lower respiratory infection within 6 months prior to screening. 5.

Herpes zoster infection within 2 months prior to screening. 9. Known or suspected autoimmune disorder 10. History of known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency state, or condition that would compromise the subject’s immune status 11. Any major surgery within 4 weeks of Day 1. 12.
