On April 23, 2023, at the ARVO Annual Meeting, Krystal Biotech (NASDAQ: KRYS) presented promising data on the compassionate use of its gene therapy B-VEC for treating dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) patients with ocular complications. The therapy, administered to a patient with recurrent cicatrizing conjunctivitis, showed significant results: full corneal re-epithelization within three months and improved visual acuity from hand motion to 20/40 at seven months. No drug-related adverse events were reported, underscoring the safety of B-VEC. With ocular complications affecting over half of DEB patients, this innovative treatment may address an urgent need in this underserved population, prompting the company to engage with regulatory authorities for further exploration of B-VEC’s applications.
