Safety Study of Gene-modified Autologous Fibroblasts in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa

Summary

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe form of blistering skin disease caused by mutations in COL7A1 gene. This study aims to assess the safety of intradermal injections of gene-modified autologous fibroblasts in 5-10 adults with RDEB.
