Erythropoietic Protoporphyria clinical trials at UCSF
5 in progress, 2 open to eligible people
Erythropoietic protoporphyria is a genetic disorder that makes the skin sensitive to sunlight. UCSF is studying how porphyrias affect people over time, including during pregnancy. Another trial is testing the drug bitopertin for safety and effectiveness in treating EPP in people 12 years and older.
Bitopertin in Participants With EPP or XLP (APOLLO)
open to eligible people ages 12 years and up
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if bitopertin works and is safe to treat EPP or XLP in participants 12 years or older. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether bitopertin increases pain-free sunlight exposure after 6 months of treatment in participants with EPP or XLP. - How PPIX concentration levels change from before bitopertin treatment to after 6 months of treatment. Researchers will compare bitopertin to a placebo look-alike substance that contains no drug. Participants will complete daily questionnaires and attend study visits for assessments.
