Active clinical trials for "Epidermolysis Bullosa"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of INM-755 (cannabinol) cream and obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy in treating symptoms and healing wounds over a 28-day period in patients with epidermolysis bullosa (EB).

Previously, many studies have been conducted on mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow or subcutaneous fat, but interest in cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cell treatments has been increasing recently. In the case of cord blood as a source, the isolation of mesenchymal stem cells is easier than bone marrow or fat tissue, and cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells have an advantage as a treatment because they have faster population doubling time. To date, no clinical research on the treatment of patients using cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells has been reported in the literature, but there have already been registered at clinicaltrials.gov and currently being conducted overseas. In this study, we will study the safety and effectiveness of RDEB patient treatment using cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells with these advantages.

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a blistering disease that is caused by defective anchoring fibrils and hemidesmosome in basement membrane of the skin layer. EB is inherited either autosomal or recessive and has 3 types. Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) is severe with some morbidity such as mitten hand deformity. The management of these patients is very difficult because no effective treatment has been known yet. The EB patients with mitten hand deformity need surgery to have a biologic dressing for areas of hand which is without the skin. In this study the investigators assess the safety of autologous transplantation of cultured fibroblast on amniotic membrane (AM,as coverage) for them.

This is a feasibility study to see if Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (GCSF) is effective as a treatment of Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). Patients will receive one course of treatment with the study drug. The course will be 7 days in length. After receiving GCSF, patients will be followed at 7 and 30 days following the discontinuation of the drug. Thirty day follow up can be done via telephone communication with the patient or family.

The purpose of this study is to determine how safe and effective allantoin 3% cream (Alwextin) is in improving the healing of recurrent skin lesions and reducing overall blistering in people with epidermolysis bullosa (EB). Allantoin 3% cream is applied topically to the entire body once daily.

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) simplex is a rare orphan disease caused by a mutation in DNA leading to abnormal dominant keratins in the skin. Patients with EB simplex develop lifelong painful thick soles on their feet, and current standard of care is supportive. This pilot study will target the dominant mutant keratin proteins in the skin to ameliorate the severity of EB simplex. The purpose is to improve the function of EB simplex feet with an application of topical sirolimus, 2%. The investigators plan on inhibiting the mTOR pathway to down regulate the translation of defective keratin proteins and work through anti proliferative pathways.

To determine if Serlopitant (when taken by mouth) is safe and works on itch in patients aged 13 and above with EB.

To determine whether administration of topical B-VEC improves wound healing as compared to placebo, and to evaluate durability, repeat dosing (Primary Endpoint) and further obtain safety and tolerability data.

This is a 112-week (approximately two-year) open-label extension study of Beremagene Geperpavec (B-VEC), for participants aged 2 months and older, who have been diagnosed with Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (DEB). Participants will be dosed weekly with the topical B-VEC therapy. The primary endpoint will be to assess long term safety and tolerability of the topical gene therapy. The study is for those who participated in Phase 3 study, as well as, new participants who were unable to participate in the Phase 3 study, who meet all enrollment criteria.

This is a single-center study to investigate the effects of a topical cream on patients 12 years of age and older that have been diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa.
