About the Study

The BioMendics’ TAMES-02 trial is studying is Actively Recruiting Patients. BioMendics is investigating a topical gel called TolaSure to see if it can help with intermediate and severe EB Simplex blistering. Participants may receive TolaSure Gel or a Placebo Gel (without the active ingredient) during the first part of the study which consists of daily application of treatment for 2 months. During the second part of the study, all participants will receive TolaSure gel and treat their blistering skin daily for an additional 2 months. A follow-up visit will take place 2 more months after treatment for a total of a 6-month time commitment. 

Throughout the study, the doctor will monitor each participant through physical exams, measuring vital signs like temperature and pulse, and collecting blood and urine samples. These procedures are important for participant safety. Additionally, patients will image their treated area throughout the study and provide answers to pain, itch, and quality of life questionnaires.

Reasonable cost for travel, accommodations, and meal expenses will be covered. Compensation provided for your time during on-site visits.
