Krystal Biotech, Inc. Receives FDA Platform Technology Designation for HSV-1 Viral Vector Used in KB801 for the Treatment of Neurotrophic Keratitis Krystal Biotech, Inc. announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted platform technology designation to the genetically modified, non-replicating herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) viral vector used in the Company's redosable eye drop gene therapy KB801, currently under evaluation in a randomized placebo controlled trial for the treatment of neurotrophic keratitis (NK). The FDA's platform technology designation program is intended to provide efficiencies in drug development, manufacturing, and review processes for drug product applications that incorporate designated platform technologies. Potential benefits of the designation may include early and more frequent engagement with the FDA during clinical development as well as the opportunity to leverage manufacturing and nonclinical safety data from a prior product using the designated platform technology, such as VYJUVEK, in submissions to the FDA. The FDA may also consider previous inspectional findings related to the manufacture of a drug that incorporates the designated platform technology. To be eligible for a platform technology designation, a technology must be well-understanding and reproducible, used in an FDA-approved drug or biologic product, such as VYJ UVEK, have the potential to support the development of multiple drugs or biologic products without compromising quality, manufacturing, or safety, and have a reasonable likelihood to bring significant efficiencies to the development or manufacturing process as well as to the FDA review process. Drug product applications that are then recognized by the FDA to incorporate this technology may leverage the potential benefits of the designation. KB801 is a redosable eye drop gene treatment designed to enable sustained, localized expression and secretion of vein growth factor (NGF) by epithelial cells in the front of the eye for the treatment of NK, a rare,degenerative corneal disease that leads to corneal epithelial defects, ulcers, and perforation. Recombinant NGF eye drops have been shown to significantly improve corneal healing and are approved for the treatment of NK in multiple jurisdictions worldwide, but rapid clearance from the eye requires intensive administration six times a day, limiting therapeutic utility. By enabling the cells of the front of the eye to produce NGF locally, KB801 has the potential to significantly reduce the treatment burden for patients while also maintaining more consistent NGF levels in the front of the eye. The Company is rapidly advancing a robust preclinical and clinical pipeline of investigational genetic medicines in respiratory, oncology, dermatology, ophthalmology, and aesthetics. Duyuru • Sep 16

Krystal Biotech Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase 1/2 Trial of Kb801 for the Treatment of Neurotrophic Keratitis Krystal Biotech, Inc. announced that the first patient has been dosed in its Phase 1/2 clinical trial ("EMERALD-1"), a 2:1 randomized, double-masked, multicenter, placebo-controlled study evaluating KB801 for the treatment of neurotrophic keratitis (NK). KB801 is a redosable eye drop gene therapy in development for the treatment of NK, a degenerative corneal disease characterized by damage or loss of function in the neurons innervating the eye leading to corneal
epithelial defects, ulcers, and perforation. Left untreated, NK can result in severe vision loss. Although NK is a rare disease with an estimated prevalence in the range of 10 to 50 cases per 100,000, claims data analyses suggest awareness and diagnosis rates are on the rise in the United States. Based on available claims data, an estimated 68,000 patients in the United States had a NK claim in 2024, up over 115% from 31,000 patients with a NK claim in 2020. EMERALD-1 is a randomized, double-masked, multicenter, placebo-controlled study evaluating KB801, administered as an eye drop, for the treatment of NK. Up to 27 adults with Stage 2 or Stage 3 NK, as defined by the Mackie criteria, will be enrolled and randomized 2:1 to receive either KB801, at a concentration of 1010 PFU/mL, or placebo topically to the study eye twice weekly for 8 weeks. The primary objective of EMERALD-1 is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of topical ocular administration of KB801 in patients with NK. The secondary objective is evaluation of efficacy based on the proportion of patients with complete durable healing of corneal epithelium at 8 weeks, defined as 0 mm corneal fluorescein staining in the area of the corneal lesion at both week 8 and 0 mm corneal fluorescein staining in the same area at week 10, as assessed by a masked reader. Additional exploratory efficacy measures will include change in corneal lesion size from baseline, each assessed at weeks 4, 6, 8, 10, and 20, as well as evaluations of corneal sensation and patient-reported symptom burden. More details of the EMERALD-1 study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under NCT identifier NCT06999733. Duyuru • Jun 25

Krystal Biotech Provides Update on EMA’s Ongoing Regulatory Review of B-VEC for Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Krystal Biotech, Inc. announced that the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA’s) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) cancelled the Oral Explanation regarding the Company’s Marketing Authorization Application for beremagene geperpavec-svdt (B-VEC) for the treatment of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) that was scheduled for December 6, 2024, and asked the Company to submit written responses to the remaining outstanding issues.
There are no Major Objections outstanding from the EMA with respect to the full approval of B-VEC. The Company now anticipates a CHMP opinion in First Quarter 2025 while the launch timelines remain unchanged with a commercial launch in Germany still planned for Second Quarter 2025.
About Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (DEB)
DEB is a rare and severe disease that affects the skin and mucosal tissues. It is caused by one or more mutations in a gene called COL7A1, which is responsible for the production of the protein type VII collagen (COL7) that forms anchoring fibrils that bind the dermis (inner layer of the skin) to the epidermis (outer layer of the skin). The lack of functional anchoring fibrils in DEB patients leads to extremely fragile skin that blisters and tears from minor friction or trauma. DEB patients suffer from open wounds, which leads to skin infections, fibrosis which can cause fusion of fingers and toes, and ultimately an increased risk of developing an aggressive form of squamous cell carcinoma which, in severe cases, can be fatal. About B-VEC and VYJUVEK
B-VEC is a non-invasive, redosable gene therapy built to deliver two copies of the COL7A1 gene to treat DEB at the molecular level by providing the patient’s cells the template to make normal COL7 protein, thereby addressing the fundamental disease-causing mechanism. B-VEC was approved by U.S. Food and Drug Agency (FDA) in May 2023 for the treatment of DEB and is marketed and sold in the U.S. under the name VYJUVEK®. Duyuru • Oct 28

Krystal Biotech, Inc Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase 1 Clinical Trial of Inhaled KB707 for the Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors of the Lung Krystal Biotech, Inc. announced that the first patient was dosed in its Phase 1 clinical trial (KYANITE-1) evaluating inhaled KB707, a modified HSV-1 vector designed to deliver genes encoding both human interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) to the lung, for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors of the lung. The KYANITE-1 clinical trial is an open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and expansion study to evaluate inhaled KB707 monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies affecting the lungs. Details of the KYANITE-1 study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under NCT identifier: NCT06228326. In February 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track Designation for inhaled KB707 for the treatment of patients with solid tumors with pulmonary metastases that are relapsed or refractory to standard of care therapy. This is the second Fast Track Designation for the KB707 program. In July 2023, the FDA granted intratumoral KB707 Fast Track Designation for the treatment of anti-PD-1 relapsed/refractory locally advanced or metastatic melanoma. IL-2 and IL-12 are secreted cytokines with complementary functions promoting cell-mediated immunity in humans. Both IL-2 and IL-12 have been shown to elicit anti-tumor immune responses in preclinical models and in clinical settings and have been extensively studied for their potential in cancer immunotherapy. Despite promising signs of efficacy, it has proven difficult to effectively harness IL-2 and IL-12 for therapeutic benefit, as systemic administration is often poorly tolerated, and their inherently short half-lives necessitate high dose levels and extremely frequent dose intervals. KB707 is a modified HSV-1 vector designed to deliver genes encoding both human IL-12 and IL-2 directly to a patient’s tumor(s) and promote systemic immune-mediated tumor clearance. KB707 targets solid tumors that are accessible via intratumoral injection or inhalation. Major Estimate Revision • Apr 16
