March 29, 2023 updated by: Phoenicis Therapeutics

A Double-blind, Randomized, Intra-patient Placebo- Controlled, Multiple Dose Study of PTW-002 Evaluating Safety, Proof of Mechanism, Preliminary Efficacy, and Systemic Exposure in Patients With Dominant or Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (DDEB / RDEB) Due to Mutation(s) in Exon 73 of the COL7A1 Gene

A double-blind, randomized, intra-patient placebo- controlled, multiple dose study of PTW-002 evaluating safety, proof of mechanism, preliminary efficacy, and systemic exposure in patients with Dominant Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (DDEB) or Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) due to mutation(s) in exon 73 of the COL7A1 gene.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

4 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients, and/or their legal guardian(s), if the patient is under the legal age of consent, must provide written Informed Consent or Assent, in accordance with national and/or local laws, prior to the conduct of any study related procedures. In addition, if applicable, a minor child must provide informed Assent in accordance with national and/or local laws and in compliance with the recommendations of the approving Institutional Review Board.
  2. Male or female, ≥ 4 - 17 years of age at Screening for RDEB patients, and ≥ 4 years of age at Screening for DDEB patients.
  3. Have a confirmed diagnosis of RDEB or DDEB and at least one pathogenic mutation in exon 73 of the COL7A1 gene. Historical genetic data may be acceptable with Medical Monitor approval.

  4. Have at least one TWA that shows no signs of local infection, and contains a target lesion that is either new or has shown dynamic healing in the past and complies with the following additional criteria:

    1. surface area of the target lesion ranging from 5 to 30 cm2, located centrally in the selected TWA.
    2. exposed sub-epidermal tissue to allow absorption of the investigational medicinal product (IMP).
    3. no suspicion of current squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) upon visual inspection.
  5. Have a caregiver or support person available, who can follow study instructions in compliance with the protocol and attend study site visits with the patient as required, in the opinion of the Investigator.
  6. Female patients who have reached menarche and male patients must either practice true abstinence in accordance with their preferred and usual lifestyle, or agree to use acceptable, effective methods of contraception for up to 3 months following their last dose of IMP.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant or breast-feeding female.
  2. Hemoglobin level at Screening requiring transfusion. The patient may be rescreened when the condition is considered stable.
  3. Use of aminoglycosides, by any route of administration, except eye drops, 7 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to Baseline visit.
  4. Untreated carcinoma of the TWA or history of carcinoma within 5 years prior to Screening, except adequately treated cutaneous squamous or basal cell carcinoma.
  5. Life expectancy less than 6 months, as assessed by the Investigator.
  6. Current or known history of clinically significant hepatic or renal disease that in the opinion of the Investigator, could impact patient safety or study participation.
  7. Bleeding disorder or condition, requiring the use of anticoagulants to be confirmed by activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) by local lab within 48 hours of first treatment.
  8. Use of any investigational drug or device within 28 days or 5 half-lives of the Baseline visit, whichever is longer, or plans to participate in another study of a drug or device during the study period. The washout of 5 half-lives does not apply to gene and cell therapy.
  9. History of cell therapy requiring treatment with exclusionary medication.
  10. History of skin-based gene therapy to the TWA.
