Product Name: Cultured allogeneic fibroblasts
Product Code: ICX-RHY-013
Pharmaceutical Form: Injection
INN or Proposed INN: Fibroblasts
Current Sponsor code: ICX-DEBRHY-2

Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): To assess wound healing after intradermal injections of allogeneic fibroblasts in a single session with the primary endpoint of the trial being time to re-epithelialisation (closure of the skin wound).
Main Objective: People suffering from the fragile skin disorder recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) have wounds that are chronically inflamed, don't heal, progress to scarring and are at risk for turning into cancers - and there is no treatment. The main objective of this clinical trial is: to establish if skin cells called fibroblasts from unrelated donors (allogeneic) increase wound healing and skin function in subjects with RDEB.
Secondary Objective: To compare wound healing over treated areas using wound surface area measurements and quality of life of the subjects taking part, including pain, wound recurrence and clinical safety.
