[{"type":"text","content":"CLEVELAND, Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abeona Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: ABEO) today announced activation of The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, Texas, as the newest Qualified Treatment Center (QTC) for the administration of ZEVASKYN (prademagene zamikeracel) gene-modified cellular sheets. ZEVASKYN, a first-of-its-kind, FDA-approved autologous, gene therapy is indicated for the treatment of wounds in adult and pediatric patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). UTMB, home to the first department of dermatology in Texas, is a major academic medical center renowned for its comprehensive complex skin disease and wound care. “Activation of UTMB as a QTC significantly expands patient access to ZEVASKYN across Texas and the Gulf Coast region,” said Dr. Madhav Vasanthavada, Chief Commercial Officer of Abeona. “We are deeply impressed by UTMB's unwavering commitment to bringing transformative care to their community. Their focus on innovation makes them an ideal partner to deliver ZEVASKYN to patients in need.” “Patients with RDEB endure a life of chronic, painful blistering and open wounds. The persistent need for daily wound care and the lack of disease-modifying therapies have historically placed an immense burden on patients and their families,” said Dr. Michael G. Wilkerson, MD, Professor and Chair of the Department of Dermatology at UTMB. “We are proud to be a designated treatment center for ZEVASKYN and to be at the forefront of delivering this novel, FDA-approved gene therapy that offers new hope for healing debilitating wounds associated with this disease.” For more information on how to access ZEVASKYN and learn about patient support services offered through Abeona Assist®, Abeona’s comprehensive patient support program, visit www.abeonaassist.com, call 1-855-ABEONA-1 (1-855-223-6621) or email [email protected].
