E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Lack of serious and severe adverse events (SAEs) related to the administration of the investigational medicinal product over a 8 or a 12 month period. SAEs are defined as any occurrence related to the administration of the IMP that results in death, or is life threatening or requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
At every visit over a 12 month period for first 8 subjects and over 8 months for the final two subjects. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1. Presence of new type VII collagen at the dermal-epidermal junction post treatment on Day 28, Day 60, and Month 6. 2. Changes in general markers of inflammation at Day 14, Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 (for all patients) and Month 12 (for the first eight eligible patients) or Month 8 (for the last two eligible patients) compared to baseline. 3.

Specific inflammatory markers include: HMGB-1, TNF α, IFN γ, IL-17A, IL1 β, IL-10, MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-11 and TIMP-1. 4. Changes in the clinical appearance of the skin assessed with clinical photographs. 5. Differences in quality of life data at Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 (for all patients) and Month 12 (for the first eight eligible patients) or Month 8 (for the last two eligible patients) compared to baseline. 6. Changes in BEBSS and EBDASI scores at Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 (for all patients) and Month 12 (for the first eight eligible patients) or Month 8 (for the last two eligible patients) compared to baseline. 7. Change in pruritus score using the Leuven Itch Scale (LIS) at Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 (for all patients) and Month 12 (for the first eight eligible patients) or Month 8 (for the last two eligible patients) compared to baseline. 8. Quantification of total blister numbers over the entire body surface area at Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 (for all patients) and Month 12 (for the first eight eligible patients) or Month 8 (for the last two eligible patients) compared to baseline. 9. Increase in the skin strength measured by time to blister formation after negative pressure skin suction test at Day 28, Day 60, Day 100, Month 6 (for all patients) and Month 12 (for the first eight eligible patients) or Month 8 (for the last two eligible patients) compared to baseline. |
