What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a skin-applied gene therapy called B-VEC for people aged 2 months and older with a severe skin condition called DEB. The treatment aims to help their skin produce a missing protein, making it stronger and less prone to blisters. The study will last several years to check if the treatment is safe and well-tolerated.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the study team or your doctor.
