About the clinical trial:
This study is investigating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of an investigational treatment called PTR-01 (type VII collagen protein). PTR-01 is an investigational product given by intravenous infusion over 1 hour.
This study has been active since early 2019 and has currently enrolled 9 patients.
Patients enrolled in the study are given 3 infusions of PTR-01 (or placebo), followed by 3 doses of placebo (or PTR-01). All subjects will receive both PTR-01 and placebo.
This study involves blood and urine samples and does require skin biopsies. An earlier version of this study required more skin biopsies, but the Sponsor has recently amended the protocol to reduce the number of biopsies. The Sponsor has also allowed for one of the visits to be done remotely.
Study visits occur every 2 weeks and require coming to Stanford. There are a total of 6 infusions. The treatment period is 10 weeks. All travel costs, including accomodations and meals, are covered by the Sponsor. Travel arrangements can also be made for you, so as to alleviate out-of-pocket expenses.
