Active clinical trials for "Epidermolysis Bullosa"

RATIONALE: In animal models, stem cells have been shown to home to the skin and repair the biochemical and structural abnormalities associated with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) (collagen 7 deficiency). PURPOSE: To determine the safety and effectiveness of stem cell infusion in the treatment of RDEB.

Prospective open-label, uncontrolled clinical study to assess the safety and efficacy of autologous cultured epidermal grafts containing epidermal stem cells genetically modified with the aid of a gamma-retroviral vector carrying COL17A1 complementary DNA (cDNA) for restoration of the epidermis in patients with junctional epidermolysis bullosa. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy after one or more treatments with genetically corrected cultured epidermal autograft (Hologene 17) in patients suffering of junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) with COL17A1 mutation.

The study aimed to assess the long-term safety of topical use of Zorblisa (SD-101-6.0) in participants with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABH001 in the treatment of patients with epidermolysis bullosa who have wounds that are not healing. It is hypothesized that ABH001 may initiate and continue wound healing in patients with epidermolysis bullosa.

This is a phase I/II open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ALLO-ASC-DFU in patients with Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa.

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe form of blistering skin disease caused by mutations in COL7A1 gene. This study aims to assess the safety of intradermal injections of gene-modified autologous fibroblasts in 5-10 adults with RDEB.

This was a Phase III, Efficacy and Safety Study of Oleogel-S10 in Participants with Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). EB is a rare group of genetic skin fragility disorders characterised by blistering of the skin in response to minor injury. In most cases, onset of EB is at birth or shortly after. All participants affected by any type of EB share the main characteristic of repeatedly developing painful wounds that take days to months to heal. Current treatment of EB is primarily preventative and supportive including protection from mechanical forces by avoiding rubbing, early treatment of wounds to prevent infections, and protection of the wound with adequate non-adhesive dressings to enable healing. The active pharmaceutical ingredient in Oleogel-S10 is a refined birch bark extract, quantified to 72 to 88% betulin. This clinical study of Oleogel-S10 in patients with inherited EB has been carried out to investigate whether Oleogel-S10 is effective for treatment of EB wounds and safe for long-term use. Oleogel-S10 was compared to a control gel. The control gel matched Oleogel-S10 in terms of texture and visual appearance to allow for double-blinding. The packaging for Oleogel-S10 gel and the control gel were identical. The participant received either Oleogel-S10 or control gel for a double-blind study phase of 90 days. The probability that the participant received Oleogel-S10 was 50%, which means that they had a 1 in 2 chance of receiving Oleogel-S10. However, in the follow-up phase of the study all participants were treated with Oleogel-S10 for a period of 24 months. This clinical study was performed at 49 study sites in 26 countries (Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong [China], Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States); 223 participants participated in total.

The overall purpose of this study is to address whether topical gentamicin therapy is an effective and feasible treatment. Specifically, we will investigate the effect of non-intensive treatment (once daily or every other day) on skin protein expression, as well as quantify the effect on wound healing in patients with EB caused by PSC (part A). Furthermore, we will address in vitro whether gentamicin restores protein expression of genes affected by SSM in fibroblasts derived from skin biopsies obtained from patients with EB caused by SSM (part B). If these in vitro experiments yield positive results, the patients donating the cells will be offered to enter part A of this study. The overall duration of part A in this study is planned to be 18 weeks per patients and consists of a 6 weeks treatment period followed by a 12 week follow up period. Each patient will attend 3 study visits: at week 0, week 6 and week 18. All patients will be included within a time period of 12 months. The overall duration of part B will be up to 8 weeks per patients of which 4-7 weeks are spent to prepare fibroblasts obtained from skin biopsies. Then 5 days of in vitro intervention and subsequent analysis follows. Altogether, the duration of the GENTELBULL study will be 78 weeks or less.

TolaSure is a topical gel for the promotion of accelerated wound healing. This Phase I study will assess the safety, tolerability, and clinical effects of TolaSure when applied to wounded skin areas of patients diagnosed with severe epidermolysis bullosa simplex (i.e., EBS-Dowling Meara). A total of 10, severe EBS patients, males and females ages 18 years and older, will be enrolled. Patients will apply TolaSure and Vehicle Gel once-daily for a maximum of 10 weeks.

A sub-set of patients who participated in PTR-01-002 will be enrolled in an open-label study, if they meet the study eligibility criteria.
