Phase 3 (VIITAL study) | Study Design

VIITAL Phase 3 study design

A randomized, intrapatient-controlled trial comparing ZEVASKYN with conventional wound management1,2*

Key endpoints (change from baseline at week 24)1,2

  • ≥50% wound healing (coprimary)
  • Pain reduction (coprimary)
  • Complete wound healing (secondary)
  • ≥75% wound healing (exploratory)
  • Itch reduction (exploratory)

Select baseline demographics1,2

  • Median patient age: 21 years (range 6-40 years)
  • Median body surface area treated with ZEVASKYN: 240 cm2 (6 sheets)§

Select wound demographics1,2

  • Each wound evaluated was ≥20 cm2
  • Median wound duration: 5 years (range 6 months-21 years)
  • N=wounds, n=patients.
  • *Supportive care, such as daily bandaging and palliative measures.2
  • Wounds were assessed by investigator based on predefined criteria to score healing. Healing achieved at week 24 was confirmed at least 2 weeks later (week 26).1
  • Complete wound healing defined as complete re-epithelialization with no drainage or erosion, and no major crusting.1
  • §ZEVASKYN was placed on 57 wounds (43 randomized and 14 non-randomized); range of body surface area treated: 120-240 cm2 (3-6 sheets).1,2

Phase 3 (VIITAL study) | Healing at week 24

ZEVASKYN can close even tough RDEB wounds1

ZEVASKYN achieved significant healing as evaluated at week 241

Pie chart highlighting that ZEVASKYN achieved significant healing at week 24
  • Complete healing achieved in 16% of ZEVASKYN-treated wounds (7/43) vs 0% of matched control wounds (0/43; P=0.0160)
  • ~2 out of 3 ZEVASKYN-treated wounds (28/43) healed by 75% or more vs 7% of matched control wounds (3/43)2

If I had the chance to do [ZEVASKYN treatment] again, I would. It helped me a ton. And I did see the difference in my skin. I think it’s worth it.”

Phase 3 (VIITAL study) | Pain/itch reductions

Guadalupe, a patient treated with ZEVASKYN, smiling

Oh, it was bad [before ZEVASKYN was applied]. It was constantly itching, and the medicine wasn’t helping. And then [after ZEVASKYN was applied, there] was less itching…and less pain too. When it heals [after surgery], I don’t feel itching. No more itching, no more pain.”

  • N=wounds, n=patients.
  • Pain was assessed via the Wong-Baker FACES® scale or numeric rating scale (0-10) following wound dressing change. For every postbaseline assessment, pain reduction is defined as postbaseline pain score minus baseline pain score.1,2
  • #Itch severity was assessed using the Worst Itch-Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS), ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable).2

Phase 1/2a long-term follow-up | Long-term follow-up images

  • Study design: Open-label, single-arm, single-center1,5
  • Patient population: 7 patients with RDEB; 38 chronic wounds assessed5
  • Follow-up duration: Median 6.9 years (range 4-8 years); planned follow-up of 15 years5
Antonio, a ZEVASKYN patient

So, they were chronic wounds open for 10 plus years with no significant improvement. And so, after the surgery, my skin is much improved, and it doesn’t break down as easy or wound or the area of raw skin is diminished.”

Indication

ZEVASKYN® (prademagene zamikeracel) is an autologous cell sheet-based gene therapy indicated for the treatment of wounds in adult and pediatric patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB).

Important Safety Information

  • Severe hypersensitivity reactions to vancomycin, amikacin, or product excipients may occur with ZEVASKYN application. Monitor for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions such as itching, swelling, hives, difficulty breathing, runny nose, watery eyes, nausea, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis and treat according to standard clinical practice.
  • Retroviral vector (RVV)-mediated insertional oncogenesis may potentially occur after treatment with ZEVASKYN. Monitor patients lifelong after treatment for the development of malignancies. In the event that a malignancy occurs, contact Abeona Therapeutics Inc. at 1-844-888-2236.
  • Transmission of infectious disease or agents may occur with ZEVASKYN because it is manufactured using human- and bovine-derived reagents, which are tested for human and animal viruses, bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma before use. These measures do not eliminate the risk of transmitting these or other infectious diseases or agents.
  • The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥5%) were procedural pain and pruritus.
