Long-term follow-up for gene therapy in skin conditions
Official title: A Prospective, Observational, Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety of the Krystal Biotech, Inc. Gene Therapy Backbone Products Using HSV-1 Backbone
Run by Krystal Biotech, Inc. · NCT04917887 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is checking the long-term safety of a gene therapy for people with a skin condition called dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa who have already received the treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults and pediatric patients who have previously received gene therapy from Krystal Biotech, Inc. and have completed or discontinued their parent treatment protocol.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients currently enrolled in non-Krystal Biotech, Inc. interventional gene therapy trials will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the long-term safety of gene therapy products developed by Krystal Biotech, Inc. for patients with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Participants who have previously received at least one dose of the investigational gene therapy will be monitored annually for five years to identify any delayed adverse events and understand the persistence of the therapy. The study will help ensure participant safety and provide valuable data on the long-term effects of the treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of the long-term safety and efficacy of gene therapies for patients with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.
How similar studies have gone: While long-term follow-up studies for gene therapies are common, the specific approach and products being evaluated in this study are novel.
