简要总结
This trial will create a skin graft, which the investigators call "LEAES," using the patient's own skin cells that have been genetically engineered in the lab to express a missing protein called type VII collagen. The corrected cells will be transplanted back to the patient.
详细描述
The research project involves gene transfer into keratinocytes, which are the majority of the cells in the outer layer of skin. In this gene transfer trial we plan to biopsy some skin tissue, grow the cells in a skin cell culture (sterile dishes with special fluid that allows cells to grow and multiply) and then infect the cells with a virus that we have genetically engineered to insert the correct type VII collagen gene. The cells should then make type VII collagen.
The process of inserting the correct type VII collagen gene into cells is called "gene transfer." The virus used is called a "retrovirus." The virus is made so that it only delivers the type VII collagen gene and it should not spread to other parts of the body. During the study we will check for growth of the virus.
After cells have received gene transfer, we will grow the cells in culture into a sheet of cells that look like a plastic film. We plan to graft the sheet to wounds. Grafting means we will take cells from the culture and stitch them to the patient's skin.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Wounds by Healing Category Per Investigator Visual Assessment
时间窗: 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post grafting
The graft site was clinically evaluated by the investigator with a global score of: 1) 100% to 75% healed, 2) 74% to 50% healed, 3) 49% or less healed with 100% meaning completely healed.
Percentage Surface Area of Wound Healing
时间窗: 3, 6 and 12 months post grafting
Percentage of wound area will be obtained using the Canfield system. Changes in dimensions between visits as well as changes in dimensions from baseline will be recorded. Dimensions of untreated wounded skin will be used for comparison
次要结局
- Number Participants Positive for NC2 Epitope as a Measure of Duration of Type VII Collagen Production(3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post-grafting)
