Skin cancer risk in epidermolysis bullosa patients using Filsuvez
Part of Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This study tracks anyone with dystrophic or junctional epidermolysis bullosa who is using Filsuvez gel to see how often skin cancers appear. It is designed to understand the long-term safety of the treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of either dystrophic or junctional epidermolysis bullosa (a condition that makes skin very fragile).
- This study is looking at whether people using Filsuvez (a gel that helps wounds heal) might have a higher or lower risk of skin cancer.
- There are no other restrictions—most people with this type of EB can join.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a gel called oleogel-S10 on wounds caused by a rare skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa (EB). It is only for people of Japanese descent who have a specific type of EB called junctional or dystrophic EB. The gel is put on the wound to help it heal.
This study tests whether a gel called Filsuvez helps heal blisters and sores in people with epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS). It might reduce pain and improve skin healing.
This trial tests if a drug called Ev.FV can help heal wounds in people with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), a condition that causes fragile, blistering skin. It is for people with open wounds on their arms, legs, or trunk that are a specific size.
This study tests a medicated cream called TolaSure on skin affected by epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), a condition that causes fragile skin and blistering. The cream aims to reduce blistering and improve healing by targeting a faulty protein in the skin. It is for people with localized, intermediate, or severe EBS who are currently having active blistering.
This study tests whether a daily pill called apremilast can reduce the number of new blisters in people with a genetic form of EBS (epidermolysis bullosa simplex). If you get more than 3 new blisters per day and have a confirmed KRT5 or KRT14 mutation, this trial may be a good fit.
This trial tests a gene therapy called BVEC to see if it can prevent squamous cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer) from coming back in people with a severe form of epidermolysis bullosa (fragile skin). It is for adults who have had a confirmed SCC and are willing to use the gene therapy.
