About this trial

The study objective is to see if BVEC induced C7 expression in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) skin following Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) excision will normalize the invasive tumor microenvironment and reduce tumor recurrence.

Prevention of SCC's in the RDEB subjects will increase their life span.
