- Lead product for treatment of glabellar lines on track to report
SAKURA Phase 3 open-label safety results in second half of 2018 -
- Initiating Phase 3 pivotal trial for cervical dystonia in current
quarter -
- Company to add RT002 clinical programs in adult upper limb
spasticity and chronic migraine -
NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVNC), a biotechnology company
developing neuromodulators for use in treating aesthetic and therapeutic
conditions, is holding its first Investor Day in New York City today.
Executive management intends to provide company updates on the science
underlying its technology platform, its long duration product candidate
DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002) and key elements of its
Product Launch Velocity Plan.
"Our vision is to be the leader in neuromodulators in any form," said
Dan Browne, President and Chief Executive Officer at Revance. "We
believe we have the science, analytic capabilities, clinical data,
production capacity and commercial approach needed to enter the market
from a place of strength. Our clinical trials indicate that RT002 is a
differentiated neuromodulator, appears to be generally safe and
well-tolerated and has shown high response rates and long duration of
effect. Upon approval by the FDA, we first plan to launch our
long-acting product, RT002, in the aesthetics market to treat frown
lines, while pursuing additional therapeutic clinical programs focused
on neuroscience. Our Product Launch Velocity Plan for RT002 will rely
heavily on a personalized, targeted approach to generate consumer demand
for the first next-generation neuromodulator in 30 years."
Key Company Updates and Announcements
Research & Development:
-
The company intends to provide an overview on its highly purified
daxibotulinumtoxinA and the mechanism of action for drug product
candidate DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002):
-
RT002's proprietary peptide excipient serves as a unique
stabilizing agent. No human serum albumin (HSA) or animal-sourced
ingredients, which can potentially be a source of disease
transmission, are used in the production of RT002.
-
Based on stability studies to date, RT002 may not require
refrigeration during storage or shipping.
-
Demonstrated dosing and duration of response is not linear because
20 units of the leading neuromodulator, onabotulinumtoxinA
(BOTOX®), and 40 units of RT002 contain nearly the same amount of
active 150 kDa neurotoxin (0.17 ng 150 kDa vs 0.18 ng 150 kDa,
respectively).
-
In vitro data supports the hypothesis that RT002 has strong
membrane binding at the site of injection, which the company
believes contributes to long duration of effect and high response
rates.
Clinical, Regulatory and Launch Milestones:
-
Revance expects to complete and report the SAKURA Phase 3 open-label
safety study consisting of approximately 2,500 enrolled patients in
the second half of 2018 and is on track to file its Biologics
Licensing Application (BLA) for RT002 to treat glabellar (frown) lines
in first half of 2019. Product launch is expected in 2020, assuming
FDA approval.
-
The following clinical programs for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection
(RT002) remain on track:
-
Cervical dystonia: The ASPEN Phase 3 program with RT002 for the
treatment of moderate to severe isolated cervical dystonia is
planned for initiation in the second quarter of 2018. Program is
expected to include a single pivotal trial of approximately 300
patients and an open-label safety study to include approximately
300 patients from the U.S., Canada and Europe.
-
Plantar fasciitis: The 16-week results from the now completed
Phase 2a trial in plantar fasciitis showed a 58% reduction in pain
from baseline along with a strong placebo response, based on the
visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. A follow-on Phase 2 trial for
plantar fasciitis is planned for the second half of 2018. Study is
expected to be double-blinded, placebo-controlled utilizing two
doses of RT002.
-
The company is announcing two new clinical programs for RT002 in
neuroscience indications with plans to initiate:
-
Upper limb spasticity: A Phase 2 dosing study in adult upper limb
spasticity in the fourth quarter of 2018 with a goal to reduce the
number of annual treatments.
-
Chronic migraine: A Phase 2 study in 2019 using a novel approach
to treat chronic migraine to optimize the number of injections and
designed to achieve long duration of effect.
Market and Commercialization:
-
The neurotoxin market was estimated to be $4 billion in 2017 and is
currently expected to grow to $7 billion by 2024.*
-
Recent published surveys on neuromodulators indicates that duration is
the #1 unmet need for physicians and long-lasting effect is the #1
patient request.
-
The company has established the Revance Product Launch Velocity Plan -
covering sales, marketing, digital outreach and commercial operations
- and is preparing for an anticipated launch of RT002 for the
treatment of glabellar lines in 2020.
