Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

KB803-EYE-01 is a Phase 3 double-blind, intra-patient crossover study, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KB803 versus matched placebo in pediatric and adult subjects with recurrent corneal abrasions due to dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subjects participating in the Sponsor's natural history study (protocol NHS) for at least 12 weeks and that meet all other eligibility criteria receive weekly ophthalmic administration of Investigational product (IP), KB803 or placebo, for the first 12-week intervention period. During the second intervention period subjects will receive the alternative IP for an additional 12 weeks. IP will be administered in the home setting by a healthcare provider. The Investigator (or designee) will contact subjects (or their parent/legal guardian) to assess for any adverse events or changes in medications, treatments, or procedures. Subjects (or their parent/legal guardian) will complete weekly symptom diaries and monthly questionnaires to document corneal abrasion symptoms and frequency and gauge overall subject (or parent/legal guardian) impressions of disease severity and disease/symptom changes during the study.

4. Meets minimum corneal abrasion symptom frequency in the NHS study.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Initiation of any new treatment regimen or change in treatment for ocular disease during the run-in period except for preservative free topical antibiotics or artificial tears/lubricants associated with standard of care treatment of corneal abrasions.
2. Treatment with an investigational agent or off-label ophthalmic use of an approved product during the run-in period or planned use during the study (Exceptions may be approved by the medical monitor on a case-by-case basis).
3. Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would impact the completion of all study-related assessments, interfere with the administration of study drug, and/or poses an additional risk to the subject.
