Filter by:In this study, an artificial intelligence model to detect squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) on photos of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) skin is developed. The ultimate goal is to integrate this model into an app for patients and physicians, to help detect SCCs in RDEB early. SCCs which rapidly metastasize are the main cause of death in adults with RDEB. The earlier an SCC is recognized, the easier it can be removed and the better the outcome. AI leverages computer science to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence and has recently been used to identify skin cancers based on images. We are currently developing an AI approach for early detection of SCC and distinction of malignancy from chronic wounds and other RDEB skin findings. The aim is to create a web application for patients with RDEB to upload images of their skin and get an output as to SCC present/ no SCC. This will be especially valuable for patients with difficult access to medical expertise and those who are hesitant to allow full skin examination at each visit, often because of fear of biopsies. Thus, this project will directly benefit patients by allowing early recognition of SCCs and will empower patients and their families by providing a home use tool. So far, the study team has mainly used professional images (photographs taken in hospital settings by physicians, nurses, and clinical photographers) of both SCCs in RDEB and images of RDEB skin without SCC to develop and train the AI model. The images that are expected in a real-life setting will mostly be pictures taken by patients or family members with their phones or digital cameras. These images have different properties regarding resolution, focus, lighting, and backgrounds. Incorporating such images will be crucial in the upcoming phases of model development-testing and validation-for the web application be a success for patients.
The aim of the study is to determine the state of sexual development in patients with inherited epidermolysis bullosa; the study is planned to include boys and girls aged 8 to 18 years with a diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa simplex, junctional epidermolysis bullosa, Kindler syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether administration of FCX-007 in addition to standard of care improves wound healing as compared to standard of care alone (control) in children, adolescents, and adults with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. Funding Source - FDA OOPD
This phase I/II clinical trial aims to treat 3 adult subjects with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, expressing residual C7 levels, by genetically corrected autologous skin equivalent grafts on selected areas (up to 300 cm2).
Single patient study. Patient diagnosed with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa presenting chronic open wounds that are not responding to dressings, topical preparations (antimicrobials, antibiotics) and systemic agents (anti-inflammatory antibacterials). The Self-Assembled Skin Substitutes will be used to cover wounds.
Phase I / II pilot clinical trial, to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of the systemic infusion of mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow (BM-MSCs) from a haploidentical donor to improve the healing process and / or the mucocutaneous fragility phenotype associated with EBDR.
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
