Abeona Therapeutics Inc. has treated the first patient with ZEVASKYN, the FDA-approved gene therapy for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). ZEVASKYN uses genetically modified skin cells to produce type VII collagen, promoting wound healing. The therapy showed significant wound healing and pain reduction after one application. More patients are scheduled for treatment soon. This marks a major milestone in gene therapy for RDEB.
