Inherited epidermolysis bullosa

This study tests whether adding IV IgG treatment to standard VYJUVEK therapy can help wounds heal faster and reduce blistering in people with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a rare genetic skin condition. Eight participants will receive IV IgG alongside their u…

This phase 2 trial tests whether a gene therapy gel called BVEC can reduce the return of squamous cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer) in people with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a rare genetic condition that causes fragile, blistering skin. The gel is app…

This study tests a new skin graft made from a patient's own cells, genetically modified to produce a missing protein. It aims to safely heal wounds in 9 people with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a rare disease that causes fragile, blistering skin. The graft i…

This study tests an eye drop called KB803 in 16 people aged 6 months and older with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), a rare genetic condition causing fragile skin and recurrent corneal abrasions. Participants will receive both KB803 and a placebo in random order to see if …

This study tests a gel called Oleogel-S10 on skin wounds in people with inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a condition that causes fragile, blistering skin. The trial includes 6 Japanese children and adults with junctional or dystrophic EB. Participants apply the gel to wounds…

This study tests a gel called TolaSure on people aged 4 and older with epidermolysis bullosa simplex, a condition that causes fragile skin and blisters. For the first 2 months, some participants get the gel and others get a placebo; then everyone gets the gel for another 2 months…

This study is testing a software tool called Belle.ai that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors diagnose common skin diseases. About 400 patients at dermatology clinics will have three photos taken of their skin condition. The AI will analyze the photos and suggest possib…

This study tests a gel called TCP-25 on people with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a condition that causes fragile skin and painful blisters. About 32 people aged 4 and older with certain types of EB will have two matching wounds treated—one with the study gel and one with a placebo…

This study tests a group counseling program called Healing HEARTS to help people with conditions like obesity, skin disease, cancer, HIV, diabetes, or chronic pain deal with internalized stigma. Participants will either join the counseling program or a peer support group. The goa…

This study collects biological samples—like blood, skin biopsies, and swabs—from people with or at risk for skin diseases, as well as healthy volunteers. Researchers will use these samples to study the causes of skin conditions and explore potential treatments. Up to 700 particip…

This study is screening people with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a rare genetic disease that causes painful blisters and open wounds from minor skin contact. Researchers at Stanford want to learn more about the disease and the patients' cells to develop new …

This study aims to understand the full burden of 9 rare skin diseases—including physical, emotional, social, and financial challenges—on patients and their families. Researchers will use special questionnaires to track how these conditions affect daily life and care needs. About …

This study looks at how skin conditions related to cancer or cancer treatments affect the well-being of cancer patients and survivors. About 1,025 participants will fill out questionnaires about their skin condition. The goal is to better understand these effects and improve trea…

This study follows 580 people with dystrophic or junctional epidermolysis bullosa (EB) for up to 5 years. Researchers want to see if using Filsuvez, a birch bark extract gel that helps heal blisters, changes the risk of developing skin cancer. Participants receive standard care, …
