Last Updated: 2023-01-31

Results Overview

Safety assessments included evaluation of medical and medication history, physical / skin examination, vital signs, adverse events, and laboratory evaluations. Due to the 'split-person' intrasubject design, the safety assessments were reported at subject level, but not per intervention.

All Participants ("Topical Beremagene Geperpavec (B-VEC)", and "Placebo")
The randomization scheme and subject-specific randomization envelopes were created for each phase of the study for each subject. At the baseline visit, subjects were assigned a randomization number and the investigator selected either 2 (Phase 1, B-VEC: Placebo = 1:1), 3 (Phase 2a and 2b, B-VEC: Placebo = 2:1), or 2 (Phase 2c, B-VEC: Placebo = 1:1) similar sized wounds, as applicable. Using the randomization scheme with the subject-specific envelope, the wounds were assigned to either B-VEC or placebo.

Number of Adverse Events Reported, Safety Population
35 number of adverse events

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: from baseline at Weeks 8, 10, and 12

Population: The intent-to-treat (ITT) population: subjects who were administered KB103 who have had at least one paired assessment of the target wound area post-administration, i.e., at least one KB103 target wound and one placebo target wound. The Safety population: all subjects who were administered IP. The per-protocol (PP) population: all subjects in the ITT population who have had at least one paired assessment of the target wound area post-administration and completed the protocol as planned.

One wound is a responder if the reduction from baseline in wound surface is ≥90%.

The randomization scheme and subject-specific randomization envelopes were created for each phase of the study. At the baseline visit, subjects were assigned a randomization number and the investigator selected either 2 (Phase 1, B-VEC: Placebo = 1:1), 3 (Phase 2a and 2b, B-VEC: Placebo = 2:1), or 2 (Phase 2c, B-VEC: Placebo = 1:1) similar sized wounds, as applicable. Using the randomization scheme with the subject-specific envelope, the wounds were assigned to either B-VEC or placebo. Due to the 'split-person'/intrasubject design, each subject received both B-VEC and Placebo. Therefore, the safety assessments were reported at subject level, but not per intervention. The site/treatment specific information on AEs was not systematically collected in a prospective fashion, therefore it was not reported.
