Trial summary

Few but persistent wounds often remain even after successful hematopoietic cell transplantation for systemic genodermatosis epidermolysis bullosa (EB). The investigators propose local wound therapy using epidermal skin grafting from the same donor that provided the hematopoietic graft, or from the same EB individual… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of Epidermal Grafting Using the CelluTome Epidermal Harvesting System for the Treatment of Individual Lesions in Persons With Epidermolysis Bullosa [MT2015-36]

Few but persistent wounds often remain even after successful hematopoietic cell transplantation for systemic genodermatosis epidermolysis bullosa (EB). The investigators propose local wound therapy using epidermal skin grafting from the same donor that provided the hematopoietic graft, or from the same EB individual with a mosaic (naturally gene corrected) skin. In both cases permissive immune system and skin chimerism is expected to enable long-term epidermal engraftment and wound healing. The investigators will use FDA approved vacuum device (CelluTome®, Regulation number 878.4820) that enables scar-free harvesting of epidermis and its transfer on a non-adherent silicone dressing (Adaptic) to the recipient as a wound dressing.

Study groups in NCT02670837
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Graft from HCT donorExperimentalCells are harvested from a donor using Cellutome, then transferred via Adaptic dressing to the recipient's wound with up to 3 donor harvest sites/treated wound sites on day 0.
Receives: Device: Cellutome Epidermal Harvesting System
Self donor from intact skin patchExperimentalCells are harvested from the subject using Cellutome, then transferred via Adaptic dressing to that subject's wound with up to 3 harvest sites/treated wound sites on day 0.
Receives: Device: Cellutome Epidermal Harvesting System

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Grafts Successfully Treated

    If the body surface area affected by the wound is at least 50%

    lower at 12 weeks relative to baseline, the graft will be considered

    successful.

    Measured: 12 weeks after grafting

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Participants With Lesion Free Skin

    Participants without Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) at graft site. Wound reassessments will be performed via photographs and follow-up visits.

    Measured: 1 year after grafting

  2. Longevity of Grafted Skin

    Percentage of patients who have had a 6 week period of lesion free skin by the time they are 1 year post grafting. Wound reassessments will be performed via photographs and follow-up visits.

    Measured: 1 year after grafting

  3. Percentage Change of a Patient's IScorEB Assessment Score

    Measure percent of changes in quality of life (QOL) through pain, itching, and general QOL IScorEB questionnaire. Scores can range from 16 to 112. The QOLS scores are summed so that a higher score indicates higher quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 weeks

  4. Percentage Change of a Patient's IScoreEB Assessment Score

    Measure percent of changes in quality of life (QOL) through pain, itching, and general QOL IScorEB questionnaire. Scores can range from 16 to 112. The QOLS scores are summed so that a higher score indicates higher quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  5. Scar-free Healing of the Body Sites of the Donor

    Percentage of donors with no evidence of non-healed skin. Wound reassessments will be performed via photographs and follow-up visits.

    Measured: 1 year after grafting

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cellutome Epidermal Harvesting System in people with Epidermolysis Bullosa, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota 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 19 inclusion and 0 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 9 Apr 2024. 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 12 Mar 2024). 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 Grafts Successfully Treated (time frame: 12 weeks after grafting). 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 NCT02670837, 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 9 Apr 2024.
