Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 7 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Written consent must be obtained from subjects over age 18, or from a parent or legally authorized representative if subject is under 18. Assent will be obtained from subjects age 7 - 17.
  • Subjects with a clinical diagnosis of RDEB by a dermatologist.
  • Have at least three target wounds that meet the following criteria:
  • One chronic wound, of approximately 6 months or more duration. If the subject has an additional chronic wound of similar size and duration, this additional wound will be treated with standard dressings and followed in the study. A wound in an area that consistently heals and then breaks down again will be considered a chronic wound.
  • Two non-chronic wounds, of approximately 3 months or less duration, of similar size, and able to be dressed separately. Both wounds should have approximately the same duration.
  • All wounds must be:
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Open, and not scabbed or crusted over
  • Not actively infected
  • Not requiring surgical intervention
  • A parent or legally authorized representative must be willing and able to ensure subject is present for all required study visits (for minor subjects).
  • The subject or caregiver (or a parent or legally authorized representative for subjects under 18) must be able to follow instructions.
  • Subject must be age 7 or older.

Who cannot join

  • Inability to travel to Stanford for study visits.
  • Complicating illness as determined by study investigators to be exclusionary including any infection requiring systemic antibiotics.
  • Presence or history of squamous cell carcinoma at target wound site.
  • Known bovine (cow) or ovine (sheep) sensitivity.
  • Therapy with an investigational agent during the study.

What participants receive

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

  • HelicollDevice

    Helicoll Collagen I Wound Dressing

  • Standard of Care DressingsDevice

    Standard of Care wound dressings (e.g. Vaseline gauze)

Study groups in NCT01716169
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HelicollExperimentalHelicoll will be applied to one chronic wound (approximately 6 months or more duration). Wound designations of "control" or "Helicoll" were placed in a sealed envelope prior to study start. When a subject was enrolled, wounds were identified as "A" or "B". Then the envelope was opened which designated whether A or B would receive control or Helicoll.
Receives: Device: Helicoll; Device: Standard of Care Dressings

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Wound Surface Area Change From Baseline to Week 8

    Change was assessed in terms of wound surface area, as measured using the ARANZ camera. Week 8 surface area measurement was compared to baseline surface area measurement and percentage in size change was calculated.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Helicoll in people with Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica and Epidermolysis Bullosa, run by Stanford University at 1 site 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 12 inclusion and 5 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 5 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 May 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Wound Surface Area Change From Baseline to Week 8 (time frame: Baseline and Week 8). 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 5 May 2016.
