Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica Clinical Trial
— MATHBULLOfficial title:
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover, Pilot Stage Clinical Trial Evaluating CACIPLIQ20 in Wound Healing in Subjects With Epidermolysis Bullosa
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of inherited disorders characterized by fragility of the skin and mucous membranes within the basement membrane zone. It is characterized by moderate to excessive fragility of epithelial tissues with prototypic blistering or erosions following minimal trauma (mechanobullous dermatoses). The chronic pain associated with EB, the hardship placed on caregivers, and the high risk for complications places a considerable psychosocial burden on both patients and their families. Despite considerable research to advance the understanding of EB pathophysiology, no treatments have been approved by regulatory authorities to date. Heparan sulfates are key elements of the Extra Cellular Matrix scaffold which act both as linkers, bridging structural matrix proteins such as collagens, laminin and as storage and protector sites to communication peptides, playing a pivotal role in the regulation of cell proliferation, migration and differentiation that are all required for tissue regeneration and repair. CACIPLIQ20 is a bioengineered structural analogue of heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans. Numerous experimental studies have provided strong evidence that CACIPLIQ20 promotes tissue regeneration by reconstructing the cellular microenvironment following tissue injury. CACIPLIQ20 is currently a class III CE marked medical device (NSAI-0050 CE MARK ECDECNL-A4 (6) and EC Annex II of the directive. NL-A4 (7)) with the following indications: Chronic ulcers showing no tendency to heal after 6 months of standard care, or still unhealed after 12 months: - Pressure ulcers. - Peripheral arterial disease (such as Stage IV Leriche & Fontaine) ulcers. - Diabetic ulcers (including amputation). Preliminary results from several published and unpublished case reports (Al Malak and Barritault, 2012; Bodemer, unpublished observations) suggest that CACIPLIQ20 is safe and can improve wound healing and reduce pain in patients with epidermolysis bullosa. The goal of the MATHBULL study is to confirm preliminary observations in a placebo-controlled double-blind pilot study. The results of this pilot study will help to design a pivotal study.

Primary | Change in total lesioned skin surface | Change in total lesioned skin surface from baseline* to the end of the CACIPLIQ20 vs Placebo treatment periods
* Baseline 1 at inclusion/before treatment period 1, and Baseline 2 at the end of washout/before treatment period 2 Change in total lesioned skin surface at the end of each treatment period will be assessed blindly regarding treatment allocation, using the SilhouetteConnect™ software in reference to "Baseline 1" and "Baseline 2". |

Secondary | Proportion of wounds achieving complete closure at the end of the CACIPLIQ20 versus Placebo treatment periods | This parameter will be assessed with the ARANZ Silhouette® system by comparing wounds areas before and after each treatment period. | After 1 month of treatment | |
Secondary | Mean CGI at the end of the CACIPLIQ20 versus Placebo treatment periods | The CGI (clinical assessment) will be rated on the following sevenpoint scale:
= Very much improved-nearly all better; good level of functioning; minimal symptoms; represents a very substantial change = Much improved-notably better with significant reduction of symptoms; increase in the level of functioning but some symptoms remain = Minimally improved-slightly better with little or no clinically meaningful reduction of symptoms. Represents very little change in basic clinical status, level of care, or functional capacity = No change-symptoms remain essentially unchanged = Minimally worse-slightly worse but may not be clinically meaningful; may represent very little change in basic clinical status or functional capacity = Much worse-clinically significant increase in symptoms and diminished functioning = Very much worse-severe exacerbation of symptoms and loss of functioning |
After 1 month of treatment | |
Secondary | Mean SGI at the end of the CACIPLIQ20 versus Placebo treatment periods | The SGI (subject/family assessment) will be rated on the following sevenpoint scale:
= Very much improved-nearly all better; good level of functioning; minimal symptoms; represents a very substantial change = Much improved-notably better with significant reduction of symptoms; increase in the level of functioning but some symptoms remain = Minimally improved-slightly better with little or no clinically meaningful reduction of symptoms. Represents very little change in basic clinical status, level of care, or functional capacity = No change-symptoms remain essentially unchanged = Minimally worse-slightly worse but may not be clinically meaningful; may represent very little change in basic clinical status or functional capacity = Much worse-clinically significant increase in symptoms and diminished functioning = Very much worse-severe exacerbation of symptoms and loss of functioning |
After 1 month of treatment | |
Secondary | Change in pain assessed from baseline to the end of the CACIPLIQ20 versus Placebo treatment periods (for patients from 3 to 4 years of age) | Change in pain will be assessed at the end of the one-month treatment period 1 and 2 compared to baseline 1 and baseline 2, respectively, using the "FLACC scale" for patients from 3 to 4 years of age.
FLACC: Face Legs Activity Cry Consolability. Score range for the FLACC scale is between 0-10 where higher score represents more pain. |
After 1 month of treatment | |
Secondary | Change in pain assessed from baseline to the end of the CACIPLIQ20 versus Placebo treatment periods (for patients 4 years of age and older) | Change in pain will be assessed at the end of the one-month treatment period 1 and 2 compared to baseline 1 and baseline 2, respectively, using the "Wong Faces Pain Scale" for patients 4 years of age and older.
The Wong Faces Pain Scale rates pain on a 0-10 scale, where higher score represents more pain. |
After 1 month of treatment | |
Secondary | Change in itching assessed from baseline to the end of the CACIPLIQ20 versus Placebo treatment periods | Change in itching will be assessed at the end of one-month treatment period 1 and 2 with eference to baseline 1 and baseline 2, respectively. Itching will be measured using the "Itch Man Pruritus Assessment Tool". In patients from 3 to 6 years of age, assessments will be performed by caretakers whereas patients who are 6 years of age and older will self-report their itching using the "Itch Man Pruritus Assessment Tool".
Itching assessments based on the following scores: 0=Comfortable, no itch; 1=itches a little, does not interfere with activity; 2=itches more, sometimes interferes with activity; 3=itches a lot, difficult to be still, concentrate; 4=itches most terribly, impossible to sit still or concentrate. |
