Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
To evaluate the efficacy of ATL-001 in patients with CEP in terms of change in lesions associated with photosensitivity.
Change between 6-month run-in period and 12-weekly treatment intervals in number and severity of sunlight-induced events measured with the Dermatological Sunlight Questionnaire (DSQ) on a daily basis: * Number of lesions * Average time to recovery of lesions * Number of other symptoms and clinical signs
From Baseline to 12 weeks intervals until the end of study (48 weeks)

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Aged 18 years or older at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF)

- a) Female participants must not be pregnant or lactating at screening or admission
- \. b) Female participants must be of nonchildbearing potential or agree to use 2 adequate forms of highly effective method(s) of contraception throughout the entire duration of study participation and for at least 4 weeks after the last dose of any study intervention and have negative pregnancy test results at screening (serum) and admission (urine) 4. Male participants with female partners of childbearing potential must be surgically sterile (successful vasectomy at least 4 weeks prior to Day 1) or agree to use adequate forms of highly effective contraception (together with their female partner) for the duration of the study and for at least 4 weeks after the last dose of study intervention; must also agree to refrain from sperm donation during the study and for at least 4 weeks after the last dose of study intervention 5. Negative pregnancy test (females of childbearing potential) at Screening (Month -6), at Baseline (Day 1) and at every visit site until EoS prior to dosing 6. Able to understand the study aims, procedures, and requirements, and provide written informed consent 7. Able to comply with all study procedures 8. Able and committed to complete study patient diaries and questionnaires
You may not qualify if:
- Other than CEP, an inherited or acquired red cell disease associated with anemia

- Major surgery within 8 weeks before Screening, incomplete recovery from any previous surgery or planned major surgery during the study
- History of alcohol dependence or excessive alcohol consumption, as assessed by the Investigator
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), active Hepatitis B, or C. A positive hepatitis result should be discussed between the Investigator and Sponsor prior to enrolment
- Score of Personal Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHQ-8) ≥10 at screening or any response of "yes" on the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
- Uncontrolled medical condition or concomitant medication that would confound the ability to interpret clinical, clinical laboratory, or participant diary data, including a major psychiatric condition that has had an exacerbation or required hospitalization in the last 6 months
- Administration of afamelanotide and dersimelagon within the last 2 months prior to start of the run-in period
- Total bilirubin \>2× ULN (unless documented Gilbert syndrome) at Screening
- If female, pregnant or breastfeeding. Final\_V2.1 38 of 106 11 Apr 2025
- Participation in any other clinical protocol or investigational trial that involves administration of experimental therapy and/or therapeutic devices within 30 days of Screening.
