Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a lifelong genodermatosis associated with blistering, wounding, and scarring caused by mutations in COL7A1, the gene encoding the anchoring fibril component, collagen VII (C7). Here, we evaluated beremagene geperpavec (B-VEC), an engineered, non-replicating COL7A1 containing herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) vector, to treat RDEB skin. B-VEC restored C7 expression in RDEB keratinocytes, fibroblasts, RDEB mice and human RDEB xenografts.

Objective: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX; Vyvanse) in fasting healthy adult volunteers.

Background: LDX is the first pro-drug stimulant and is indicated for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. LDX was developed with the goal of providing an extended effect that is consistent throughout the day, with a reduced potential for abuse, overdose toxicity, and drug tampering.
