NCT02670837

Brief Summary

Few but persistent wounds often remain even after successful hematopoietic cell transplantation for systemic genodermatosis epidermolysis bullosa (EB). The investigators propose local wound therapy 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. In both cases permissive immune system and skin chimerism is expected to enable long-term epidermal engraftment and wound healing. The investigators will use FDA approved vacuum device (CelluTome®, Regulation number 878.4820) that enables scar-free harvesting of epidermis and its transfer on a non-adherent silicone dressing (Adaptic) to the recipient as a wound dressing.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Grafts Successfully Treated

    If the body surface area affected by the wound is at least 50% lower at 12 weeks relative to baseline, the graft will be considered successful.

    12 weeks after grafting

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Participants With Lesion Free Skin

    1 year after grafting

  • Longevity of Grafted Skin

    1 year after grafting

  • Percentage Change of a Patient's IScorEB Assessment Score

    Baseline and 6 weeks

  • Percentage Change of a Patient's IScoreEB Assessment Score

    Baseline and 12 weeks

  • Scar-free Healing of the Body Sites of the Donor

    1 year after grafting

Study Arms (2)

Graft from HCT donor

EXPERIMENTAL

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.

Device: Cellutome Epidermal Harvesting System

Self donor from intact skin patch

EXPERIMENTAL

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.

Device: Cellutome Epidermal Harvesting System

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient (Recipient)
  • Diagnosis of Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (DEB) or Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa (JEB) with at least one wound, visibly free from infection (or previously treated) and meets the eligibility for Arm A or Arm B based on the skin graft source:
  • Cell harvest from previous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) donor (Arm A) - not applicable if Arm B
  • At least 6 months after hematopoietic cell transplantation with donor chimerism
  • Peripheral blood donor chimerism should be measured within 21 days of grafting and be \>/= 5% and stable. Stability of chimerism will be determined by the protocol team and based on 3 peripheral blood chimerism values at least 1 month apart.
  • No history of pre-BMT autoimmune cytopenias
  • Off immune suppressive therapy
  • Original transplant donor is available and willing to be the epidermis donor
  • Self-donation (Arm B) - not applicable if Arm A
  • Proven somatic reversion
  • Site for skin grafting free of cellulitis and any other clinically evident abnormalities
  • Meets donor eligibility
  • Insurance pre-authorization for procedure, if applicable
  • Voluntary written consent (patient or parent/guardian for minors with assent) prior to any research related procedures or treatment.
  • Skin Graft Donor (either hematopoietic cell transplantation donor for the EB patient \[Arm A\] or EB patient herself/himself \[Arm B\])
  • +4 more criteria
