Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Pipeline Insight 2025: Gene Therapy, Protein Replacement, and Cell-Based Innovations Advance | DelveInsight

DelveInsight's "Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) - Pipeline Insight, 2025" covers the transformative innovation targeting this devastating genetic skin disorder caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene. Characterized by fragile skin and chronic blistering, RDEB has long had no disease-modifying treatments. In 2025, however, the pipeline reflects a surge in gene therapy, protein replacement, and fibroblast-based strategies aiming to restore collagen VII function and heal chronic wounds.

Among the frontrunners is Vyjuvek (B-VEC), approved by the FDA in 2023 and developed by Krystal Biotech, which uses a topical HSV-1-based vector to deliver functional COL7A1 genes directly to affected skin. Following suit, Fibrocell Science and Castle Creek Biosciences are advancing autologous fibroblast therapies like FCX-007, genetically corrected to express collagen VII and designed for local injection. Moreover, Abeona Therapeutics' EB-101, an ex vivo gene-corrected keratinocyte therapy, is showing promise in durable wound healing and collagen expression.

Adjunct approaches using recombinant proteins, like RXI-109 (Galectin Therapeutics), and TGF-beta modulators are under early-phase evaluation to enhance skin resilience and limit fibrosis. With multiple late-stage trials and sustained FDA support through orphan and RMAT designations, the RDEB pipeline is on a path to delivering functional, personalized, and life-altering solutions to a previously untreatable condition.

• The leading recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa companies include Abeona Therapeutics, Inc, Castle Creek Biosciences, LLC, RHEACELL GmbH & Co. KG, and others are evaluating their lead assets to improve the recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa treatment landscape.
• Key recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa pipeline therapies in various stages of development include Prademagene zamikeracel, FCX-007, allo-APZ2-EB, and others.
• In May 2025, RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holding SA announced that the FDA granted Rare Pediatric Disease designation to RLF-TD011 for treating epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic skin disorder. The drug had already received Orphan Drug Designation for this indication.
• In April 2025, the FDA approved Abeona Therapeutics' ZEVASKYN, a groundbreaking treatment for Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB). This approval marks the third treatment for the rare condition, highlighting progress in RDEB care. ZEVASKYN, the first autologous, cell-based gene therapy for RDEB, aims to enhance collagen VII expression at wound sites by integrating the COL7A1 gene, offering new hope and treatment options for patients and their families.
• In April 2025, Abeona Therapeutics Inc. announced that the FDA approved ZEVASKYN (prademagene zamikeracel), the first and only autologous cell-based gene therapy for treating wounds in adult and pediatric patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). ZEVASKYN is the only FDA-approved treatment for RDEB wounds with a single application.

Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Overview
Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) is a rare, inherited skin disorder characterized by extreme fragility of the skin and mucous membranes, leading to blistering and wounds from minor friction or trauma. It results from mutations in the COL7A1 gene, which encodes type VII collagen, a critical protein for anchoring the layers of the skin together. Without functional type VII collagen, the skin layers separate easily, causing painful blisters, chronic wounds, and scarring.

RDEB can also affect internal organs and increase the risk of aggressive skin cancers over time. Symptoms usually appear at birth or early childhood and include widespread blistering, skin fragility, and complications such as infections and contractures. There is currently no cure for RDEB, and treatment focuses on wound care, infection prevention, pain management, and supportive therapies to improve quality of life. Research is ongoing into gene and cell-based therapies aimed at addressing the underlying genetic defect.

Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Treatment Analysis: Drug Profile
ChatGPT said:
Prademagene Zamikeracel: Abeona Therapeutics, Inc
Prademagene zamikeracel (pz-cel) is an autologous engineered cell therapy for Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB), a rare connective tissue disorder causing severe epidermal wounds that significantly affect patients' quality and length of life. The treatment involves transferring COL7A1 genes into a patient's own skin cells (keratinocytes) and then transplanting these modified cells back to restore normal type VII collagen production and skin function. Pz-cel targets large chronic wounds, the most painful and debilitating aspect of RDEB, and has shown good tolerability with no serious treatment-related adverse events reported. It has received multiple designations, including Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy, Breakthrough Therapy, Rare Pediatric Disease, and Orphan Drug status in both the U.S. and EU. The therapy is currently in the registration stage for RDEB treatment.

FCX-007: Castle Creek Biosciences, LLC
FCX-007 (dabocemagene autoficel or D-Fi) is an autologous cell-based gene therapy in development for dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), including RDEB, aimed at correcting the deficiency of functional type VII collagen. The FDA has granted D-Fi Orphan Drug designation, Rare Pediatric Disease designation, Fast Track designation, and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for RDEB treatment. FCX-007 is currently in Phase III clinical trials for RDEB.
