Active clinical trials for "Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica"

The purpose of this study is to better understand disease extent and to identify appropriate methodologies to evaluate (dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa) DEB in a quantitative and qualitative manner.

Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) is a severe inherited blistering skin disease caused by absence of type VII collagen. Patients with RDEB develop large, severly painful blisters and open wounds from minor trauma to their skin. In the future, we hope to start a gene transfer study on a specific group of RDEB subjects and we are screening subjects for that potential trial now.

To assess whether intravenously administered third-party bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are safe and have an impact on disease severity in RDEB

This study is a non-interventional, observational study that will evaluate the natural history of wounds in patients with Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (DEB) for inclusion into the Krystal Biotech Phase III protocol of B-VEC (previously KB103). Wound recurrence and wound size will be evaluated for up to four months.

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe inherited blistering disease caused by the absence of type VII collagen. Patients with RDEB develop large, severely painful blisters and open wounds from minor trauma to their skin. We are screening RDEB subjects to determine additional characteristics of patients who survive to adulthood.

The objective of this study is to characterize the extent and severity of disease in subjects with DEB and the progression of disease over a timeframe relevant to interventional studies. The data from this study will be used to inform the study design and address statistical considerations of future treatment protocols.

The aim of the study is to determine the state of sexual development in patients with inherited epidermolysis bullosa; the study is planned to include boys and girls aged 8 to 18 years with a diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa simplex, junctional epidermolysis bullosa, Kindler syndrome.

Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) is one of the most severe rare inherited skin disorders affecting children and adults. Current medical care protocols for RDEB patients are limited to palliative procedures to treat blistering and erosive lesions, wounds, and severe local and systemic complications such as fusion and contracture of the digits, skin cancer, esophageal stricture, severe anemia, infections, malnutrition and growth retardation. However, current medical treatments still cannot prevent the recurrence of the lesions arising from defective expression of type VII collagen (COL7A1), the main constituent of anchoring fibrils which form essential structures for dermal-epidermal adherence. The purpose of this study is to investigate the capacity of keratinocytes and fibroblasts to repair skin wounds in patients suffering from Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB).

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic pathology resulting in fragility of the skin and mucous membranes, causing bubbles and wounds following trauma. Scarring is pathological with a tendency to retraction. The gynecological and in particular the vulvovaginal mucous membranes can be affected but no description of any series is available in the literature. Likewise, some of these patients have a sexual and obstetrical life, despite sometimes-severe damage, but again no specific data is available. The investitigator thus wish to carry out a non-interventional multicenter prospective descriptive study. Better knowledge of gynecological semiology in patients with EBD will allow better adaptation of gynecological follow-up, screening for STDs and gynecological cancers, as well as possible specific complications. This study would eventually allow the draw up of recommendations for our gynecologist / obstetrician colleagues.

This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
