Study Summary

This trial is testing a new way to treat wounds for people with a systemic genodermatosis epidermolysis bullosa (EB) by using epidermal skin grafting from the same donor that provided the hematopoietic graft, or from the same EB individual with a mosaic (naturally gene corrected) skin.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) who have at least one wound suitable for treatment. Participants must be over 2 years old, off immune suppressive therapy, and have had a hematopoietic cell transplant from a donor or possess naturally gene-corrected skin. They should not have any infections or autoimmune issues pre-transplant and must consent to the procedure.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the Cellutome Epidermal Harvesting System on EB patients. It involves taking epidermal grafts either from their previous bone marrow donor or their own mosaic skin and applying it to wounds using a special vacuum device in hopes of achieving long-term healing.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, potential risks may include discomfort during the harvesting process, infection at the graft site, rejection of the epidermal grafts, or complications related to wound healing.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Self donor from intact skin patchExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cells are harvested from the subject using Cellutome, then transferred via Adaptic dressing to that subject's wound with up to 3 harvest sites/treated wound sites on day 0.
Group II: Graft from HCT donorExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cells are harvested from a donor using Cellutome, then transferred via Adaptic dressing to the recipient's wound with up to 3 donor harvest sites/treated wound sites on day 0.
