Study of the Blood and Skin Immunological Profile of Patients With Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa: in Vivo Analysis and the Impact of Placental Stem Cells in Vitro

Recruiting

• Conditions: Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica
• Interventions: Other: Sampling

• Registration Number: NCT06177353
• Lead Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Brief Summary

Patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) suffer from acute and chronic post-bullous wounds along with impaired skin healing. These issues are attributed not only to mucocutaneous fragility and abnormal healing directly related to quantitative and/or qualitative constitutional abnormalities of collagen VII but also to a contingent cutaneous and systemic inflammatory component. This inflammatory aspect contributes to the perpetuation of skin lesions and delayed healing. Our primary objective is to define the systemic immunological/inflammatory signature of patients with RDEB with an aim to develop a strategy that involves using stem cells with high immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory capacity such as allogeneic placental stem cells (WJ-MSCs and trophoblasts).
