Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of MT-7117 on sunlight exposure duration without symptoms and tolerance in subjects with EPP.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) Drug: MT-7117 low dose Drug: MT-7117 high dose Drug: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to assess the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of MT-7117 in subjects with EPP. The study consists of a 2 week screening period, a 16 week double-blind treatment period, and a 6 week follow-up period at Week 22. The total participation period is approximately 24 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Average Daily Time (Minutes) to First Prodromal Symptom Associated With Sunlight Exposure Between Hour Post Sunrise and 1 Hour Pre-Sunset at Week 16. [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 16 ]
    Duration in minutes, of sunlight exposure between 1 hour post sunrise and 1 hour pre-sunset. The average Duration in minutes, of sunlight exposure before the first prodromal symptom between 1 hour post sunrise and 1 hour pre-sunset. The average duration means that average of daily durations in 14-day windows before Day 1 (or week 16 Day) applied.

  2. Change From Baseline in Average Daily Duration (Minutes) of Sunlight Exposure Between 1 Hour Post Sunrise and 1 Hour Pre-Sunset Without Prodromal Symptoms at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0), and Week 16 ]
    Change from baseline to week 16 in Average Daily Duration (Minutes) of Sunlight Exposure sums any sunlight exposure time excluding any overlapped time with prodromal symptoms, including if the patients go out multiple times on the same day after the prodromal symptom had previously ended.

  3. Change From Baseline in Average Daily Mean Duration (Minutes) of Sunlight Exposure Between 1 Hour Post Sunrise and 1 Hour Pre-Sunset Without Prodromal Symptoms at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0), and Week 16 ]
    Change from baseline to week 16 in Average Daily Mean Duration (Minutes) of Sunlight Exposure without prodromal symptoms divided by the number of sunlight exposures periods applicable that day.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Total Number of Sunlight Exposure Episodes With Prodromal Symptoms During 16-Week Double-Blind Treatment Period [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]
  2. Change From Baseline in Average Daily Mean Intensity of Prodromal Symptoms During 16-week Double-blind Treatment Period in 11-point Likert Scale [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0), and Week 16 ]
    The Intensity of Prodromal Symptoms is measured by 11-point Likert scale ranges from 0 (no symptom) to 10 (greatest severity of symptom).

  3. Change From Baseline in Average Daily Duration (Minutes) of Prodromal Symptoms at 16-Week Double-Blind Treatment Period [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0), and Week 16 ]
  4. Change From Baseline in Pigmentation as Measured by Melanin Density for Average of 6 Skin Segments at Week 8 and Week 16. [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0), Week 8, and Week 16 ]
    Pigmentation will be assessed in melanin density which are numeric scores measured by spectrophotometer on 6 skin segments (forehead, left cheek, right inside upper arm, left medial forearm, right-hand side of abdomen, and left-hand side of buttock).

  5. Percent Change From Baseline in Pigmentation as Measured by Melanin Density for Average of 6 Skin Segments at Week 8 and Week 16. [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0), Week 8, and Week 16 ]
  6. Total Number of Pain Events During 16-Week Double-Blind Treatment Period [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Total Number of Sunlight Exposure Episodes [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 16 ]
  2. Change in Pigmentation as Measured by Melanin Density [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 16 ]
  3. The Quality of Life as Measured by the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 57 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 16 ]
