Trial design

Randomised, tcp-25 gel (topical) versus vehicle gel (placebo identical in composition except no active pharmaceutical ingredient). no dose or schedule specified in ctis metadata.-controlled, adaptive Phase II trial in Sweden, France, Greece and others.

Randomised
Yes
Comparator
TCP-25 gel (topical) versus Vehicle gel (placebo identical in composition except no active pharmaceutical ingredient). No dose or schedule specified in CTIS metadata.
Adaptive
True, DMC gating for paediatric enrollment: initially enroll patients ≥12 years; enrollment of 4–11 year old pediatric patients will be opened only after a DMC review provides a positive opinion regarding safety/tolerability of the IMP in at least 3 patients aged 12–18 who have completed ≥4 weeks of IMP use.
Target Sample Size
26
Trial Duration For Participant
91

Eligibility

Recruits 26 paediatric patients.

Vulnerable Population
The trial includes pediatric participants (minimum age 4 years) and the CTIS documents indicate vulnerability considerations. Enrollment is initially limited to patients ≥12 years, with inclusion of 4–11 year olds only after a DMC provides a positive safety opinion based on at least 3 patients aged 12–18 with ≥4 weeks IMP exposure. Dedicated pediatric information and assent forms and parental/caregiver informed consent forms are provided (age-specific pediatric information/assent and parental ICFs are listed for age groups including 4–5y, 6–9y, 10–12y, 13–15y, 16–17y). There are caregiver ICFs and "Minor becoming Adult" ICFs in the documentation. Consent is obtained from adult participants; for minors parental/guardian consent is required and age‑appropriate assent is obtained using the provided pediatric assent documents in relevant languages.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- •\tMale or female patients with documented diagnosis of DEB or JEB, confirmed by genetic testing and/or by a skin biopsy with immunofluorescence mapping.\n- •\tPatients ≥4 years old. Note: Initially, patients ≥12 years will be enrolled. Enrollment will be open to 4 to 11 year old pediatric patients (both inclusive), after a DMC reviews and provides a positive opinion regarding the safety and tolerability of the IMP in at least 3 patients 12 to 18 years old who have completed at least 4 weeks of IMP use.\n- •\tThe patient has the presence of a well-matched index wound pair which will be included in two respective treatment areas, with a minimum distance of at least 5 cm (2 inches) between the treatment areas."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- •\tThe patient has any subtype of EB other than DEB or JEB.\n- •\tThe patient is currently being treated or planned to be treated with systemic antibiotics. Note: Use of preventive and/or anti-inflammatory antibiotic treatment, including doxycycline, on an established treatment regimen (stable dose for ≥6 weeks before the Baseline Visit) is permitted. Use of topical antibiotics on the index wounds within 7 days before the Baseline Visit is prohibited.\n- •\tUse of systemic corticosteroids >0.2 mg/kg prednisone dose equivalent per day within 30 days or use of topical corticosteroids on index wounds within 7 days before the Screening Visit. Note: Corticosteroids for inhalation, ophthalmic, or intranasal use are permitted.\n- •\tThe patient has a history of any of the following treatments: a. Local topical Filsuvez on the study treatment areas within 1 month before the Screening Visit, b. Local topical gene therapy with Vyjuvek on the study treatment areas within 3 months before the Screening Visit, c. Systemic mesenchymal stem cell treatment, including Ebesenar, within 6 months before the Screening Visit, or d. Cell-gene (graft) therapy, Zevaskyn, for the treatment of EB affecting the treatment areas any time before the Screening Visit.\n- • The patient has a history of or current malignancy over any study treatment area, eg, basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma."}
