First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests an eye drop called KB803 in 16 people aged 6 months and older with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), a rare genetic condition causing fragile skin and recurrent corneal abrasions. Participants will receive both KB803 and a placebo in random order to see if the drops reduce the number of days with corneal abrasion symptoms and eye pain. The goal is to find a safe treatment that helps manage this painful eye complication.
