About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study Evaluating Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Adults With Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa

To assess whether intravenously administered third-party bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are safe and have an impact on disease severity in RDEB

Read the detailed description

This is a phase I/II clinical trial with a key objective of evaluating safety of third party bone MSCs intravenous infusions in 10 adults with the inherited severe skin fragility disorder, recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). The main objectives of our study are to: (1) to assess the spectrum of clinical responses in adults with RDEB receiving intravenous MSCs; (2) to identify the best cohort of individuals to target for future trials and therapies; (3) to improve our understanding of in vivo and in vitro responsiveness to MSCs; (4) to identify candidate molecules germane to activating MSCs and making them clinically more potent, independently of the permissive conditions of the patient and (5) to assess its impact on reducing disease morbidity/severity in this population.

This is a prospective, non-randomised, open label study. All study participants will receive two intravenous MSC infusions at baseline Day 0 and Day 14 and will be followed up for a 12 month period following the first infusion. Each subject will undergo an initial screening including physical examination, assessment of vital signs and disease severity assessment.

What participants receive

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

  • Mesenchymal stromal cellsDrug

    Also called TC-MSC

    TC-MSC: a cell product containing mesenchymal stromal cells. Mesenchymal stromal cells are adherent non-haematopoietic multipotent cells that are expanded from bone marrow from healthy donors, using platelet lysate as source of growth factor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lack of serious and severe adverse events (SAEs) related to the administration of the investigational medicinal product.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Presence of new type VII collagen at the dermal-epidermal junction post treatment.

    Measured: Day 14, Day 28, Day 60, Day 100 and Month 6.

  2. Change in general markers of inflammation

    Measured: Day 14, Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 and Month 12 compared to baseline

  3. Changes in specific markers of inflammation

    Measured: Day 14, Day 28, Day 60 and Month 6 compared to baseline

  4. Change in the clinical changes in the skin assessed with clinical photographs

    Measured: Day 14, Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 and Month 12.

  5. Differences in quality of life data

    Measured: Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 and Month 12 compared to baseline

  6. Change in BEBSS and EBDASI scores

    Measured: at Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 and Month 12 compared to baseline

  7. Change in Pain scores

    Measured: Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 and Month 12 compared to baseline

  8. Change in pruritus score using the Leuven Itch Scale (LIS)

    Measured: Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 and Month 12 compared to baseline.

  9. Quantification of total blister numbers over the entire body surface area

    Measured: Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 and Month 12 compared to baseline

  10. 10. Increase in the skin strength measured by time to blister formation after negative pressure skin suction test

    Measured: Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 and Month 12 compared to baseline

  11. Qualitative analyses based on a series of interview questions

    to reveal objective data on quality of sleep, skin healing time, amount of dressings used, improvement in oral diet, improvement in energy levels, mood, quality of family life/relationships.

    Measured: between screening and Day 0, between Day 28 and Day 60, and between Month 6 and Month 12.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Mesenchymal stromal cells in people with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, run by King's College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2017. 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 Kingdom. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

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?

Lack of serious and severe adverse events (SAEs) related to the administration of the investigational medicinal product. (time frame: 12 months). 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 3 Mar 2017.
