ABSTRACT
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic disease caused by damaging variants in COL7A1, which encodes type VII collagen. Blistering and scarring of the ocular surface develop, potentially leading to blindness. Beremagene geperpavec (B-VEC) is a replication-deficient herpes simplex virus type 1-based gene therapy engineered to deliver functional human type VII collagen. Here, we report the case of a patient with cicatrizing conjunctivitis in both eyes caused by dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa who received ophthalmic administration of B-VEC, which was associated with improved visual acuity after surgery.
