Clinical Trial to Assess Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Cultured Epidermal Grafts Containing Epidermal Stem Cells Genetically Modified in Patients With RDEB. (HOLOGENE7)
Prospective, Open-label, Uncontrolled Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Cultured Epidermal Grafts Containing Epidermal Stem Cells Genetically Modified With a Gamma-retroviral (rv) Vector Carrying COL7A1 cDNA for Restoration of Epidermis in Patients With Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa.

Detailed Description
This is a monocentric, prospective, open label, uncontrolled clinical trial, phase I/II.
Patients will be screened according to the Study Inclusion and Exclusion criteria and will be candidate for the treatment if all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria are met.
After confirmation of eligibility, patients will undergo biopsy for the collection of the autologous epidermal cells to be used to produce the tissue for the treatment. In case all criteria are met, the transplantation of the new cultured transgenic epidermis will be planned according to the procedures and the need of the patient.
The study treatment consists of a surgical intervention for new restored stem cells implantation.
The surgery will be carried out in 2 stages, the first aims at taking biopsy to isolate epidermal cells including stem cells. The biopsy will be processed in a laboratory of a regenerative medicine manufacturing site where they will be corrected, expanded and prepared as final sheets to be implanted. Therefore, the patient can have his second intervention. In this second surgery, genetically corrected cultured epidermal autograft (Hologene 7) will be implanted into the selected area. The specialist surgeon will either use a local or general anaesthetic for the implant operation. The treated area will be immobilized for some days after this operation. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs will be administered (if necessary) to prevent infections and to minimise swelling.
Three months after the transplantation, primary endpoint will be evaluated by the Investigator. The study completion will be reached when 1 year (secondary endpoint) of follow-up after the last transplant in the last patient will be accomplished.
The end of the trial is defined as the last visit of the last patient after the last treatment if any.

- Female subjects: pregnant or lactating women and all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant (i.e. women of childbearing potential) UNLESS they are willing to use one or more reliable methods of contraception with a Pearl index ≤1.
Allergy, sensitivity or intolerance to drugs or excipients (hypersensitivity to any of the excipients listed in Investigator's brochure or in this protocol):
- Transport medium (Dulbecco's Modified Eagles Medium supplemented with L-glutamine)
- Fibrin support
- Betaisodona
- Contraindications to the local or systemic antibiotics and/ or corticosteroids foreseen by the protocol;
- Contraindications to undergo extensive surgical procedures;
- Clinically significant or unstable concurrent disease or other clinical contraindications to stem cell transplantation based upon investigator's judgment or other concomitant medical conditions affecting grafting procedure;
- Patients (or parents in case of paediatric subject) unlikely to comply with the study protocol or unable to understand the nature and scope of the study or the possible benefits or unwanted effects of the study procedures and treatments.
- Participation in another clinical trial where investigational drug was received less than 6 months prior to screening visit.

EXPERIMENTAL: Genetically corrected cultured epidermal autograft
The surgery will be carried out in 2 stages, the first aims at taking biopsy to isolate epidermal cells including stem cells. The biopsy will be processed in a laboratory of a regenerative medicine manufacturing site where they will be corrected, expanded and prepared as final sheets to be implanted. In the second surgery, genetically corrected cultured epidermal autograft (Hologene 7) will be implanted into the selected area. The specialist surgeon will either use a local or general anaesthetic for the implant operation. The treated area will be immobilized for some days after this operation. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs will be administered (if necessary) to prevent infections and to minimise swelling. |
Genetically corrected cultured epidermal autograft (Hologene 7) is intended for transplantation onto surgically prepared blistering skin areas of RDEB patients and permanent regeneration of a healthy, functional and renewing epidermis sustained by the engraftment of transduced epidermal stem cells. By taking some autologous epidermal cells, a new layer of transgenic tissue is grown in the laboratory. This layer of tissue is then implanted by a surgeon into the damaged area. The implantation can be done in one or more areas and repeated in case of failure of the first surgery.
