Clinical Trial Summary

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a rare genetic skin disease characterized by fragility of the skin and mucous membranes resulting in painful blisters and erosions after minor trauma. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of diacerein 1% ointment to vehicle ointment when applied once-daily for 8 weeks in subjects with EBS.


Clinical Trial Description

The study is an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of diacerein 1% ointment for the treatment of subjects with EBS. Participants were assigned to study groups receiving either diacerein 1% ointment or vehicle ointment for 8 weeks, followed by an 8 week follow-up period. Approximately 80 subjects were to be randomized to one of the 2 treatment groups.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of diacerein 1% ointment to vehicle ointment based on reduction in body surface area (BSA) of EBS lesions being treated when applied once-daily for 8 weeks in subjects with EBS. The secondary objectives are to compare the effects of diacerein 1% ointment to vehicle ointment in subjects with EBS in changes in Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scores, pain, pruritus, mobility, and safety and tolerability. ;
