Filter by:This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous gentamicin in congenital ichthyosis due to a non-sens mutation. The primary objective is the severity of scales and erythema at the third month, compared to baseline. Secondary objectives will include: the importance of itching, trans epidermal water loss, cutaneous expression of the targeted protein, the security of the drug and patients' satisfaction.
The goal of this observational study is to understand the perspectives and needs of patients with genodermatoses and their partners who wish to have children, regarding their decision-making process and their consideration of reproductive options. Additionally, the investigators aim to investigate the level of knowledge and perspectives of healthcare professionals (such as clinical geneticists, dermatologists and other clinicians involved), and want to explore to what extent patients and their partners are well informed about these reproductive options. To achieve this, the investigators will conduct individual semi-structured qualitative interviews with participants affected by genodermatoses (and their partners) and with healthcare professionals.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the indications for prenatal diagnostics and preimplantation genetic testing for patients/couples affected by an inherited skin disease, and evaluate the clinical outcomes of these reproductive options. By providing a complete overview, the investigators aim to improve reproductive counselling for these patients/couples with a desire to have children. To achieve this, the investigators aim to retrospectively collect data from a cohort of patiens/couples affected by an inherited skin disease on a national level (in the Netherlands) and also an international level from various countries in Europe.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the presence of extracutaneous manifestations in patients with congenital ichthyosis. The main question it aims to answer is: - Do patients with congenital ichthyosis experience extracutaneous manifestations? Participants will fill in questionnaires in which the investigators will explore whether patients experience extracutaneous manifestations, and if so what these manifestations entail. Examples of such questions are whether patients experience (joint) pain or whether they experience hindrance due to their complaints.
Ichthyosis is a group of rare and chronic genetic diseases beginning at birth, in which the patient's skin is covered with scales of variable appearance and severity. This disease is disabling. The treatment is symptomatic and is based on the daily application of moisturizing creams with a high lipid content. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these treatments is limited and are considered very painful by the patients. Wraps are local treatments carried out by specialized nurses and which consist in, following a therapeutic bath, applying a large quantity of cream to the whole body, followed by an occlusion. This type of care is simple to perform, but requires nursing expertise, to date, it is not carried out in standard practice in France, which is why the investigateur wish to evaluate the effect of wraps on different parameters reflecting the skin condition in the short and medium term.
The goal of this observational study is to conduct a prospective assessment of the individual Burden of 9 rare skin diseases to assess disability in the broadest sense of the term (psychological, social, economic and physical) for patients and/or families. Two types of indicators will be used to reach this objective : 1. an individual burden score calculated based on a burden questionnaire created specifically, approved and designed to understand the tendency to changes in care and lifestyles. The burden questionnaire should be used by patients and/or their family themselves in self-assessment. 2. a descriptive analysis of all resources (medical and non-medical) used by the family unit to manage the disease.
This is a phase IV, unblinded, open-label study assessing the impact on skin quality, hydration, and barrier of three (3) Hydrafacial treatments in healthy adults of Fitzpatrick Skin Types I & II, III, IV, V & VI, 30 to 55 years of age. Efficacy and subject satisfaction will be assessed, before and after three (3) HF treatments, in 6 patient cohorts, each cohort defined by FST I-VI.
This prospective, randomized pilot study compares the use of a xenograft with PRP to a xenograft alone for chronic, nonhealing wounds.
KB105-02 is an intrasubject randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KB105 in children and adults with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI).
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the quality of life in patients with congenital ichthyosis. The main question it aims to answer are: • What is the impact of ichthyosis on the biological-psychological-social quality of life in adult and elderly patients with inherited ichthyosis ? Participants will take part in individual interviews in which the investigators will explore if and how ichthyosis impacts their quality of life. Examples of such questions are whether participants experience pain, experience struggles in their personal or professional lives, with sports activities or if participants experience a financial burden.
