Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Response Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Thymosin Beta 4 in the Treatment of Patients With Epidermolysis Bullosa


The purpose of this study is to investigate a treatment to enhance the healing of acute and
chronic nonhealing cutaneous wounds, such as the erosions experienced by patients with
Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), by the known activity of thymosin beta 4 (Tβ4).


EB is a group of genetic diseases characterized by skin-blistering and lesion-formation
after minor trauma to the skin. This family of disorders, most of which are inherited, range
in severity from mild to the severely disabling and life-threatening. Tβ4 is a
synthetically-produced copy of a naturally-occurring 43 amino acid peptide that has wound
healing and anti-inflammatory properties and can up-regulate the expression of laminin-5.
