Safety and Efficacy of Apligraf in Nonhealing Wounds of Subjects With Junctional or Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB)
Stopped: Insufficient patient enrollment
United States1 participantsStarted 2007-12
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of Apligraf for the treatment of nonhealing wounds in subjects with dystrophic or junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Apligraf will be evaluated for efficacy and safety compared to a conventional nonadherent dressing. A matched-pair design will be used to evaluate Apligraf treatment versus conventional treatment in 68 study pairs.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Subject is between 2 and 65 years of age.
* Subject with clinical and histological diagnosis of junctional or dystrophic EB with documented electron microscopy or immunofluorescence microscopy.
* Subject has at least two non-adjacent EB lesions, at least 4 cm apart. The two selected EB lesions must be relatively matched in terms of diagnosis, location, level of erosion and size. Lesions may be on the same limb.
* Subject with dystrophic or junctional EB lesions between 10-44 cm2 present for at least 6 weeks. For the purposes of this study, a lesion is defined as a wound resulting from a post blister erosion.
* Subject who is a female of child-bearing potential (females \>10 years of age) must have a documented negative urine or serum pregnancy test. Sexually active females must be practicing a medically proven form of contraception during the course of the study period.
* Subject or legal guardian must have read, understood and signed an institutional review board (IRB) approved Informed Consent Form or Assent Form.
* Subject and/or legal guardian must be able and willing to follow study procedures and instructions.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Subject with lesions only on the soles, posterior thigh or gluteus maximus.
* Subject whose lesion has healed 20% or greater in area from post debridement (if applicable) Baseline Screen (Visit 1) to post debridement Day 0 (Visit 2) as determined by wound tracings.
* Subject with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (glycos…
