Quoin Pharmaceuticals Releases Fourth Episode in NETHERTON NOW Video Series Featuring International Patient Advocate Mandy Aldwin-Easton

New Episode Highlights the Painful, Often Misunderstood Reality of Living with Netherton Syndrome and the Urgent Need for Effective Treatments August 12, 2025 08:30 ET | Source: Quoin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ASHBURN, Va., Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNRX) (“Quoin” or the “Company”), a late clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on rare and orphan diseases, today announced the release of the fourth episode in its NETHERTON NOW video series. This installment features Mandy Aldwin-Easton, a Netherton Syndrome patient, and a widely recognized, passionate advocate for people living with rare diseases. Mandy serves as Medical and Communications Manager and Co-founder of the UK-based Ichthyosis Support Group and is President of the European Network for Ichthyosis. In the video, Mandy shares her personal journey living with Netherton Syndrome, from delayed diagnosis, severe, chronic pain, multiple hospitalizations to the profound long-term impact this disease has had on her life. “One thing we don't talk about is how incredibly painful skin is when it doesn't work properly,” Mandy explains in the video. “Imagine millions of paper cuts all over your body. It’s just so highly unpredictable. The one thing anybody wants with a rare disease like Netherton Syndrome is hope—that better treatments are on the way.” Mandy’s story underscores the severe physical and emotional toll of the disease. Despite having a highly supportive family and medical advocacy, she has experienced extreme flare-ups, prolonged hospitalizations, and a lack of targeted treatment options throughout her entire life. As an adult, she continues to navigate the complexities of a disease that many still fail to recognize as life-threatening. “I couldn’t go out because my skin was falling off me. It was so incredibly painful that it was just unbearable to walk,” she recalls. “Even with hospital stays and treatments, no one really knew how to care for my skin.” “Mandy has long been a pillar of the ichthyosis and Netherton Syndrome communities,” said Denise Carter, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Quoin Pharmaceuticals. “Netherton Syndrome is not just a rare skin disease. It is a relentless and punishing condition marked by excruciating pain, debilitating flare-ups, recurrent infections, and emotional trauma. The toll on patients and their families is immense, not only physically and emotionally but also financially, requiring lifelong care, frequent hospitalizations, and ongoing interventions that place a heavy burden on families and healthcare systems. Beyond her personal resilience, Mandy’s unwavering advocacy has made her a powerful voice for this underserved and often overlooked population. We are honored to feature her in our NETHERTON NOW series and remain steadfast in our mission to bring awareness and hope to those living with this devastating disease.” The release of this video comes as Quoin continues to advance its lead product candidate, QRX003, in multiple pivotal clinical trials for the treatment of Netherton Syndrome. Recently reported data from ongoing studies have shown highly encouraging improvements in key clinical outcomes. “Mandy’s story reflects the extraordinary strength and perseverance of patients who have endured a lifetime of suffering without access to an approved treatment,” said Dr. Michael Myers, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Quoin Pharmaceuticals. “As we advance QRX003 through multiple late-stage pivotal trials, voices like Mandy’s reinforce the urgency of our mission. Quoin is committed to delivering a meaningful treatment for the severely underserved Netherton Syndrome community and to driving forward research that addresses the significant unmet needs across a broader range of rare skin disorders.” The full video featuring Mandy Aldwin-Easton is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2RXfrx8OvM&t=45s. About QRX003QRX003 is a topical lotion formulated with a proprietary delivery technology that contains a broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitor, whose mechanism of action is intended to perform the function of a specific protein called LEKTI. The absence of LEKTI in Netherton patients leads to excessive skin shedding, resulting in a highly porous and compromised skin barrier. QRX003 is designed to promote a more normalized skin-shedding process and the formation of a stronger and more effective skin barrier.
