What are the various Epidermolysis Bullosa Therapeutics available in market today?
Epidermolysis Bullosa, otherwise known as
EBT, is a rare group of hereditary disorders where the epidermis forms severe
blisters after slight physical friction or injury and becomes extremely
fragile. Hence, for the delay in the correct diagnosis and the subsequent
unawareness of proper treatment options, many governments, and other
non-governmental organizations have been conducting different awareness programs
over the years. The treatments involved in the Epidermolysis Bullosa
Therapeutic System are relatively simple and easy to administer at home.
Epidermolysis
Bullosa is an uncommon group of hereditary
disorders where the epidermis becomes extremely fragile and forms severe
blistering and painful blisters even after a very minor injury or mild
friction. This condition is characterized by severe inflammation which causes
the dermis layer of the skin to break down, exposing the underlying basement
membrane. Epidermolysis also causes fibrous cords that form within the blister,
and it can spread to other areas of the body. One promising approach for
treating this condition has been developed using novel genetic and enzyme
genetic technologies. Genetically engineered mice have been generated with a
defective gene that causes EB (eb). Using mouse models, scientists have been
able to generate genetically identical disease-free animals that are capable of
healing themselves when exposed to the common allergens that cause the
condition.
The Epidermolysis Bullosa therapy is made up
of pharmaceutical-grade pharmaceuticals such as aminexin, ebogen, ebizon, and
atenolol. Since the initiation of the phase ii trial of ebb-101, there have
been several major milestones achieved in the manufacture of the EBTherapeutics.
One of the milestones is the successful completion of this early on-stage drug.
The other milestone is the successful completion of the second phase of the
therapy. The mice thus generated have shown the potential to provide a useful
platform for developing new medications that can target the defective genes,
stopping the vicious cycle that leads to the manifestation of the condition.
Several promising EB Therapeutics products are now in pre-clinical development
and may soon find a place.
