Brief Summary

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 Preliminary results from several published and unpublished case reports (Al Malak and Barritault, 2012; Bodemer, unpublished observations) suggest that CACIPLIQ20 is safe and can improve wound healing and reduce pain in patients with epidermolysis bullosa.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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 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".

    After 1 month of treatment

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • The rate of device related serious adverse events

    Up to 4 months

  • The rate of device related adverse events

    Up to 4 months

  • The rate of procedure related adverse events

    Up to 4 months

  • The rate of procedure related serious adverse events

    Up to 4 months

  • The rate of all adverse events (AEs).
