About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) and Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (ALLOSCT) In Children With Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB)

Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) and Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloSCT) from family-related donors and unrelated cord blood (UCB) donors will be safe and well tolerated in selected patients with RDEB.

To determine the event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) following RIC consisting of busulfan/fludarabine/alemtuzumab (BFA) and AlloSCT in selected patients with RDEB.

Read the detailed description

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), is a diverse group of genodermatoses, which is considered a rare and orphan disease and affects approximately 1 in 20,000 people in the United States for a cumulative total of close to 20,000[1-4]. There are three major subtypes of inherited EB, including EB simplex (EBS), junctional EB (JEB), and dystrophic EB[1-4]. RDEB is among the most severe and represents approximately 10% of all forms of EB[1-4]. A rough estimate would then project that there are several thousand patients with RDEB in the U.S. at the current time. Up to 30 different clinical phenotypes and mutations in at least 10 structural genes in different sub-types of EB have been reported[4-8]. In addition to heritable subtypes of EB, there is an acquired autoimmune form in which the patients develop auto-antibodies directed against similar proteins of the inherited dystrophic forms of EB, including EB acquisita (EBA).

We have previously reported our experience with RIC with BFA [48] in pediatric AlloSCT recipients (mean age 9.5 yrs [1.4-21], 11/4 M/F, 10 non-malignant, 5 malignant disease, [6 sibling, 5 UCB, 5 matched unrelated donor]); median time to ANC ≥ 500/mm3 and platelet count ≥20K/mm3 was 22 and 30 days, respectively. Probability of day +180 and 365 donor chimerism was 90% (Figure 7), and OS was 95% (Figure 8). This conditioning regimen therefore results in a high degree of donor chimerism and survival with minimal regimen related mortality.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Palifermin, Fludarabine and Busulfan in people with Epidermolysis Bullosa, run by Columbia University at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Event-free survival (EFS) (time frame: Up to 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Aug 2021.
