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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with DEB.

Who may be able to join

  • Written informed consent is provided. Patients 18 years of age and older, and parent(s)/legal guardian(s) of patients younger than 18 years of age, must provide written informed consent prior to participating in the study; additionally, informed assent will be obtained from patients younger than 18 years of age as specified by local requirements.
  • Patient must have a documented diagnosis of DEB based on genetic analysis showing a mutation in COL7A1 or, in the opinion of the investigator, a confirmed diagnosis of DEB based on histologic criteria (antigen mapping or electron microscopy).
  • Patient must have at least 5 wounds that are suitable for imaging, in the opinion of the investigator, at the time of enrollment.
  • Patient is willing and able to undergo the protocol-specified procedures.

Who cannot join

  • Patient has used or is currently using experimental treatment for DEB including, but not limited to, bone marrow transplantation, systemic immune suppression, or experimental procedures that involve live cells, with potential for systemic spread such as gene transfer, stem cell infusions, or other cell type injections such that, in the opinion of the investigator, inclusion poses an unacceptable risk to the patient or interpretation of these study data.
  • Patient has squamous cell carcinoma with evidence of locally invasive disease or distant metastases.
  • Patient is pregnant.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Short-term Study to Evaluate Methodologies for the Assessment of Disease Extent, Impact, and Wound Evolution in Patients With Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (DEB)

The purpose of this study is to better understand disease extent and to identify appropriate methodologies to evaluate (dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa) DEB in a quantitative and qualitative manner.

Medical subject headings
Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica

What is being measured

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

  1. Wound Surface Area (WSA) of patient- and investigator-selected wounds

    Measured: Over 4 weeks

  2. Wound Surface Area (WSA) as a percentage of Body Surface Area (BSA) in patients with DEB

    Measured: Over 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The number, severity and relationship to study procedures of adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs)

    Measured: Over 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, run by Shire at 10 sites in 7 countries.

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 4 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 17 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Italy, Australia, Austria, Czechia and 2 more countries. 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?

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?

Wound Surface Area (WSA) of patient- and investigator-selected wounds (time frame: Over 4 weeks). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02178969, 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 17 Mar 2021.
