EB Clinical Research Consortium

Status: Open / Recruiting

Eligibility:

-    Diagnosis of EB

About the study:

We are currently looking for subjects to participate in a study of the characteristics of individuals with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). This is an observational study in which we will be conducting a chart review of subjects with EB. This is NOT a treatment study.

A national Epidermolysis Bullosa Clinical Research Consortium (EBCRC) has been created, consisting of a group of physicians dedicated towards treating patients with EB. The main focus of this group is to create a national database for the clinical characterization of Epidermolysis Bullosa.

The following sites are participating in the EBCRC:

  • •• Stanford University (Palo Alto, CA)
  • •• Children’s Hospital Colorado / University of Colorado (Denver, CO)
  • •• Children’s Hospital of San Antonio (San Antonio, TX)
  • •• Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (Philadelphia, PA)
  • •• Children’s National Medical Center (Washington, DC)
  • •• Cincinnati Children's Hospital (Cincinnati, OH)
  • •• Columbia University (New York, NY)
