Brief Summary:
Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa H-JEB an incurable fatal inherited skin disease is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the LAMA3 LAMB3 or LAMC2 genes resulting in loss of laminin 332 and poor epidermal-dermal adherence Eighty percent of H-JEB patients have LAMB3 mutations and about 95 of these are nonsense mutations The investigators recently demonstrated that gentamicin readily induced nonsense mutation readthrough and produced full-length laminin beta3 in several nonsense mutations tested Importantly the gentamicin-induced laminin beta3 restored laminin 332 assembly secretion and deposition into the dermal-epidermal junction DEJ Newly induced laminin 332 reversed abnormal H-JEB cellular phenotypes Herein the investigators propose the first clinical trial of gentamicin by topical and intravenous administration in JEB patients with nonsense mutations The milestones will include restored laminin 332 and hemidesmosomes at the DEJ improved wound closure and the absence of significant gentamicin side effects
Detailed Description:
Three subjects adults and children of any age will receive topical gentamicin to be applied to select skin sites
Three subjects adults and children of any age will receive intravenous IV gentamicin infusions
Patients will be assessed for Primary and Secondary endpoints during follow up visits
