Brief Summary:
This study is being conducted to determine if topical KB103 (HSV1-COL7) can safely and effectively promote healing of DEB patient wounds (primary endpoint) and to assess change from baseline in Investigator Global Assessments and Patient Reported Outcomes (secondary endpoint).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Biological: Topical KB103 Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Four subjects are planned for the Phase II portion of this study: 2 adults and 2 subjects age 5 and older. Subjects are enrolled upon obtaining consent and meeting entry criteria. Three wounds are selected per subject; two will receive KB103 and one will receive placebo. Administrations occur daily on Days 1 through 5, and again on Days 30, 60, and 90 if there is visible wound at the original administration site. Throughout the study wounds will imaged and biopsied for safety and efficacy analyses. Subjects will be on-trial for approximately 6 months: 3 months of on-site visits followed by a 3-month at-home imaging period.
