About this trial
KB803-EYE-01 is a Phase 3 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 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).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of KB803.
Number of subjects with treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.
To evaluate the effect of ophthalmic KB803 on frequency of corneal abrasion symptoms.
Average number of days per month with corneal abrasion symptoms.
Secondary outcomes
To evaluate the effect of ophthalmic KB803 on eye pain.
Average weekly eye pain score. Pain will be measured using a numerical scale with 0 being no hurt through 10 being the worst hurt.
