Overview

The study objective is to see if IV IgG treatment in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) skin in conjunction with VYJUVEK treatment improves wound healing and affects the levels of C7 and HSV-1 antibody levels in serum.

Fewer wounds, more rapidly healing wounds, and decreased C7 and HSV-1 antibodies could improve quality of life.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosis of generalized Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) demonstrated by COL7A1 mutations.
  2. Diagnosis of EBA demonstrated by the presence of levels of serum C7 antibodies above the normal ELISA range
  3. Baseline skin blistering greater than 5% total body surface area
  4. 1 wound at least 20 cm^2 able to be entirely treated with Vyjuvek weekly
  5. 1 wound at least 20 cm^2 that has never been treated with Vyjuvek
  6. Ongoing VYJUVEK treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of thrombotic event(s)
  2. History of cardiac failure
  3. History of renal failure
  4. IgA deficiency

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
