AUTOLOGOUS KERATINOCYTES AND FIBROBLASTS TRANSDUCED WITH A RETROVIRAL VECTOR ENCODING COL7A1 CDNA

Clinical trials are studying AUTOLOGOUS KERATINOCYTES AND FIBROBLASTS TRANSDUCED WITH A RETROVIRAL VECTOR ENCODING COL7A1 CDNA in people with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). These trials mainly look at safety after grafting genetically corrected skin equivalents and follow patients over time to watch for side effects and longer-term outcomes.

Trial overview

The main clinical trial in the source data is NCT04186650, a Phase 1/2 interventional study that is authorised and includes 3 participants.[1]

It is studying recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a rare skin disease, in adults.[1]

The intervention is a skin equivalent graft genetically corrected with a COL7A1-encoding SIN retroviral vector.[1]

Who is being studied

This trial is designed for adults with RDEB.[1]

The source data does not give more detailed inclusion or exclusion rules, so only the adult RDEB population can be confirmed from the trial record.[1]

What the trial measures

The main goal is to evaluate safety after grafting the genetically corrected autologous skin equivalent.[1]

The primary outcome includes adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse reactions, and serious adverse reactions during the first 12 months after grafting.[1]

These safety outcomes are also checked during a planned long-term follow-up period lasting 5 years in total.[1]

Trial phase and design

This is a Phase 1/2 study, which means it is in an early stage of clinical research.[1]

Early-phase studies usually focus first on safety, and this trial follows that pattern by measuring treatment-related harms over time.[1]

The study is interventional, meaning the research team gives a treatment as part of the trial rather than only observing what happens naturally.[1]

Follow-up plan

The brief summary says safety is checked at M1, M2, M3, M6, and M12 after grafting.[1]

After that, participants continue in a regular 5-year follow-up with visits at M18, M24, M30, M36, M42, M48, M54, and M60.[1]

This long follow-up helps researchers watch for later safety problems that may not appear soon after treatment.[1]

Glossary

  • Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB): A rare inherited skin disease that makes the skin very fragile and prone to blistering and wounds.
  • Autologous: Made from the patient’s own cells.
  • Skin equivalent graft: A lab-made skin graft designed to act like skin and be placed on the body.
  • Genetically corrected: Changed in the laboratory so the cells carry a corrected version of a gene.
  • COL7A1: The gene being used in this trial. The trial data says the grafts are corrected with a COL7A1-encoding vector.
  • Retroviral vector: A tool used to carry genetic material into cells.
  • Interventional trial: A study in which participants receive a treatment or procedure as part of the research.
  • Phase 1/2: An early stage of research that mainly checks safety and may also look for early signs of benefit.
  • Adverse event (AE): Any unwanted medical problem that happens during a study, whether or not it is caused by the treatment.
  • Serious adverse event (SAE): A medical problem during a study that is severe, such as one that is life-threatening or needs hospital care.
  • Long-term follow-up: A planned period of checking participants after treatment to see what happens over time.
