Long‐Term Safety and Efficacy of Beremagene Geperpavec
(B‐VEC) in an Open‐Label Extension Study of Patients with Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa

Summary: During the AAD Annual Meeting in San Diego, California from March 8-12, clinical data from the open-label extension study of beremagene geperpavec (B-VEC) was presented. Over half of the patients in the study received B-VEC treatment for at least one year. The safety profile and wound closure rates observed in the open-label extension study were consistent with findings from the registrational Phase 3 GEM-3 trial and provide additional support for the long-term use of B-VEC for the treatment of DEB.
