BERKELEY, Calif., June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — ResVita Bio, a cellular therapies startup, announces that the FDA has granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation to RVB-001 to treat Netherton Syndrome, a chronic and life-threatening genetic skin disease.
“The physical and emotional challenges of chronic skin diseases are devastating to patients, particularly children” said Amin Zargar, Chief Executive Officer of ResVita Bio. “Newborns with Netherton Syndrome face a severe lifelong disease with few treatment options that offer limited efficacy. We are motivated by the prospect to deliver meaningful improvement in the lives of these patients, and this is a significant step towards the development RVB-001 as a treatment for Netherton Syndrome.”
