For US Healthcare Professionals

Updated Guidance: VYJUVEK is now approved for use from birth, can be applied by a caregiver or patient at-home, has an increased weekly volume, & has the flexibility of being removed at your next dressing change.

Efficacy & Safety Data

EFFICACY DATA

VYJUVEK demonstrated a significantly higher percentage of complete wound healing* (100% closure) compared with placebo1,2

Primary endpoint: primary wounds with complete wound healing* (100% closure) at 6 months (N=31).1

Key secondary endpoint: primary wounds with complete wound healing* (100% closure) at 3 months (N=31).1

*Complete (100%) wound closure was defined as durable wound closure (skin re-epithelialization without drainage) evaluated at 2 consecutive visits 2 weeks apart.2

Primary endpoint: (95% CI: 14, 63)P=0.012.

Secondary endpoint: (95% CI: 22, 69)P=0.003.

Demonstrated durability: at both 3 and 6 months, complete wound healing was seen in 50% of wounds treated with VYJUVEK vs 7% of wounds treated with placebo2

Durability of Response chart

DEB wounds by nature are dynamic and prone to reopening. The molecular correction provided by VYJUVEK was demonstrated in the reclosure of wounds in the OLE study.3

Complete wound closure was achieved 2 months into the Open Label Extension (OLE) trial following completion of the GEM-3 trial.

The OLE trial was designed to assess long-term safety. Evaluation of this wound's complete wound closure was based on same method in GEM-3.3

SAFETY DATA

VYJUVEK was well tolerated by patients1

  • No discontinuation due to adverse reactions occurred1
Most Common Adverse Reactions

(N=31)
Itching 3 (10)
Chills 3 (10)
Redness 2 (6)
Rash 2 (6)
Cough 2 (6)

No new safety signals.3

Adverse events reported in the OLE study were similar to those observed in the GEM-3 study.

The majority of adverse events were mild or moderate in severity and consistent with those reported in patients with DEB.

Dosing & Administration
INDICATION AND USAGE

VYJUVEK is a topical gel indicated for the treatment of wounds in adult and pediatric patients (from birth) with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) with mutation(s) in the collagen type VII alpha 1 chain (COL7A1) gene.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Accidental Exposure to VYJUVEK gel: VYJUVEK will not replicate in the subject’s cells and does not integrate into the subject cells’ native genetic material. For precautions, avoid direct contact with treated wounds (e.g., touching or scratching) and dressings of treated wounds until the next dressing change following treatment. Wear protective gloves when assisting patients with changing wound dressings and handling the disposal. In the event of accidental exposure (e.g., through a splash to the eyes or mucous membranes), flush with clean water for at least 15 minutes.

Clean all surfaces that may have come in contact with VYJUVEK biological suspension or gel and treat all spills with a virucidal agent.

Dispose all materials (e.g., vial, syringe, cleaning materials) that may have come in contact with VYJUVEK biological suspension or gel into a biohazard container.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common adverse reactions (>5%) were itching, chills, redness, rash, cough, and runny nose.
