Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether administration of FCX-007 in addition to standard of care improves wound healing as compared to standard of care alone (control) in children, adolescents, and adults with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. Funding Source - FDA OOPD

Detailed description

DEFI-RDEB is a multi-center, intra-patient randomized, controlled, open-label, Phase 3 study of FCX-007 for the treatment of persistent non-healing and recurrent RDEB wounds in approximately 24 subjects. Each subject will serve as his/her own control. Each subject's target wounds will be paired then randomized to receive FCX-007 (treatment wound) or remain untreated (control wound). Up to three target wound pairs will be identified for each subject. Subjects will receive intradermal injections of FCX-007 in each specified treatment wound in two or more treatment sessions. The first treatment session occurs at Day 1 and the second at Week 12/Month 3. Additional treatment sessions may occur at Week 24/Month 6 and Week 36/Month 9 when unclosed treatment wounds may be re-treated, and unclosed control wounds may be treated. Safety and efficacy assessments will occur at scheduled intervals through Week 48/Month 12, when the treatment period is completed, and a long-term safety follow-up period (through 15 years) commences for subjects who have received one or more FCX-007 injections.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALFCX-007 (dabocemagene autoficel; see below for FCX-007 description)

FCX-007 is comprised of fibroblasts isolated from the subject's skin biopsies which are genetically corrected with the full length COL7A1 gene encoding for type VII collagen.

FCX-007 COL7A1 Genetically-Corrected Autologous Fibroblasts
Intra-subject randomized (paired wounds in each subject receive experimental treatment, FCX-007, or remain untreated). Up to three target wound pairs will be identified for each subject. Following pairing, target wounds will be randomly assigned as the treatment wound (FCX-007 is administered) or control wound. Subjects will receive intradermal injections of FCX-007 in each specified treatment wound in two or more treatment sessions. The first treatment session occurs at Day 1 and the second at Week 12/Month 3. Additional treatment sessions may occur at Week 24/Month 6 and Week 36/Month 9 when unclosed treatment wounds may be re-treated, and unclosed control wounds may be treated. FCX-007 (dabocemagene autoficel; see below for FCX-007 description): FCX-007 is comprised of fibroblasts isolated from the subject's skin biopsies which are genetically corrected with the full length COL7A1 gene encoding for type VII collagen.
