Epidermolysis Bullosa Clinical Trials

The trial will be conducted in patients with any form of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) with at least 1 active EB wound between 2.5 and 50 cm2 in size or up to 10% of the Body Surface Area. The investigators will identify an "index lesion" and other lesions for treatment An ...

This is a prospective, open label, uncontrolled clinical trial, phase I/II. Patients will be screened according to the Study Inclusion and Exclusion criteria and will be candidate for the treatment if all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria are met. After confirmation of eligibility, patients will undergo biopsy for ...

Skin wounds of Recessive Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica (REBD) involve pain, superinfection, protein-losing, inflammation, and joint contractures are the bed of squamous cell carcinoma. There is no precise data on the kinetics of healing post-bullous erosions but clinical experience suggests that most epidermise in less than a month. Some, however, for ...

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is an incurable, devastating, inherited skin disease caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene that encodes for type VII collagen (C7), the major component of anchoring fibrils (AFs), structures that mediate epidermal-dermal adherence. Thirty percent of RDEB patients have nonsense mutations. The investigators recently demonstrated ...

Principal research question/objective How effective is the disposable dressing glove when compared with the normal dressings and bandages used by the participants with RDEB based on 12 validated patient outcomes indicators that measure observations of hand function, device use, symptoms, and problems and limitations? Secondary research questions Is the disposable ...

ALLO-ASC-DFU is a hydrogel sheet containing allogenic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Adipose-derived stem cells have anti-inflammatory effect and release growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which can enhance wound healing and regeneration of new tissue, finally may provide an new option in ...

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare, often severe genetic disorder characterized by mechanical fragility and blistering or erosion of the skin, mucosa, or epithelial lining of other organs, in response to little or no apparent trauma. EB is chronic, potentially disfiguring, and in some cases fatal. Patients with EB have ...
