Study summary

To evaluate the effect of human amniotic membrane as a weekly dressing on chronic wounds in Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) patients.

Read the detailed description

Dried human amniotic membrane dressing were obtained from National center for radiation research and technology, Egypt (NCRRT), under commercial name REGE pro.

Inclusion criteria

1- Patients diagnosed as EB wounds must be chronic

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients Must stop other
  2. Exclude patients have:

    1. diseases
    2. Diabetes
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

    Treated

    Patients who received REGE pro dressing on EB wounds lesion weekly for 10 weeks

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Lesion area

    The lesion area from the first treatment is greater than 2 cm\^2 (grade 3, according to CTCAE v4.0), to the complete healing (= 0 cm\^2).

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  2. Clinical progression sings

    * After the first application time: White transperent color of granulation tissue appeared. * After the second application time: color dense of granulation tissue increased and covered all over the wound. * After the third application time: granulation tissue thickness increased and appeared as a complete homogenous layer. * After the fourth application time: depending on lesion depth and size, granulation tissue turned to be pink to red color. * After the fifth and sexth application time: Skin layers development appeared.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patient complain (upon the weekly questionnaire)

    The quality of life is scored 0 (minimum) -100 (maximum), the pain reduction is scored 0-100 (as previous) from the first visit till 6 weeks.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 21, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
