Trial summary

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa hereditaria are genodermatosis responsible for formation of cutaneous bullous lesion arising spontaneously or after mechanical trauma. These lesions are due to mutation on gene COL7A1 coding for collagen VII. There is no treatment available. Read more about this study

About this study

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa hereditaria are genodermatosis responsible for formation of cutaneous bullous lesion arising spontaneously or after mechanical trauma.

These lesions are due to mutation on gene COL7A1 coding for collagen VII. There is no treatment available. Cares are consisting to dress lesions and to protect the skin.

The investigators have recently observed on patients having residual expression of collagen VII that phenotype severity is modulated by activation degree of dermic metalloproteinase. The investigators have also observed that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (Polyphenon E®) could be regulated this activity.

The primary purpose of this study is to assessing the efficacity of Polyphenon E to decrease the number of cutaneous bullosa after four month of treatment.

The primary outcome measure is the rate of patient presenting a decrease of 20% or more of the number of cutaneous bullosa.

Secondary outcomes are: severity of mucosa impairment, affected cutaneous surface, the average duration of cicatrisation and treatment tolerance.

This study foresees the inclusion of 22 patients older than 2 years old in 5 centers.

When patients are included, they will be randomized and receive the treatment (or placebo) for 4 months.

Being tested
Polyphenon E before Placebo, placebo before treatment

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Polyphenon E before PlaceboDrug

    patients receive polyphenon E during 4 months, then 2 months of wash-out and finally 4 months of placebo

  • placebo before treatmentDrug

    patients receive 4 months of placebo, then 2 months of wash out et finally 4 months of treatment

  1. decrease of number of cutaneous bullosa

    Measured: after 4 months of treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. efficacity of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study of Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 5 sites in France.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France. 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?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

decrease of number of cutaneous bullosa (time frame: after 4 months of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00951964, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 May 2014.
