The earliest description of what is now known as epidermolysis bullosa (EB) was by Austrian dermatologist Ferdinand Ritter von Hebra in 1870. It’s been 154 years and still there are very limited treatment options and no cures for EB. 

One out of every 20,000 U.S. births, or approximately 200 children yearly, are born with EB. This painful disorder requires a lifetime of daily wound care along with a variety of medical specialists. Those with severe forms of EB usually do not survive past 35 years of age. 

At Castle Creek, we hope our work can one day deliver relief to the people living with EB and their families.

What an incredible four days our team had at the debra of America Care Conference in Atlanta! 

We appreciate everyone who connected with us to share their stories about how epidermolysis bullosa (EB) has impacted their lives. 

Special shout out to our CEO Matthew Gantz for his presentation on our upcoming phase 3 clinical trial.

We’re proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of the upcoming debra of America Care Conference! Our work is fueled by people living with epidermolysis bullosa, who experience a lifetime of challenges that no one should ever have to go through.

Recently, Castle Creek hosted Michelle and Marley, two people living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). 

Michelle shared her story of growing up with EB and how she navigates her day as an adult living with EB.  

Nine-year-old Marley and his mother, Shauna, have just begun their journey into advocacy activities. The room was filled with the warmth of Marley’s smile and his big personality connected with the crowd while Shauna talked to the CCB team. 

These first-hand stories of Michelle and Marley really hit home. Their stories, among the thousands of others, are what fuel our work at Castle Creek. 

We know that a person with EB has to overcome numerous challenges every single day. Simple tasks like bathing and eating can take hours, and that’s just the beginning. 

While there is no cure for EB, we are hopeful that our work can one day help provide relief for those living with this painful condition.
