SASS Trial Summary

This trial will test a new type of skin substitute on a patient with a chronic skin condition. The hope is that this new skin will help the patient's wounds heal.

Who is the study for?
This trial is specifically designed for a single patient with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, who has chronic open wounds not healing with dressings or medications. There are no general eligibility criteria as it's tailored to this one individual.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Self-Assembled Skin Substitutes (SASS) on a patient with severe skin condition, aiming to cover and potentially heal chronic open wounds that haven't responded to other treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the study is custom-designed for one person, side effects will be monitored closely but may include typical reactions related to skin grafting such as infection, rejection of the substitute, or inflammation at the wound site.
