Press Release Details

NEWARK, Calif., June 13, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVNC), a biotechnology company developing botulinum toxin products for use in aesthetic and therapeutic indications, today reported results from its REALISE 1 Phase 3 trial of DaxibotulinumtoxinA Topical Gel (RT001) to treat patients with moderate to severe lateral canthal lines, or crow's feet.

In REALISE 1, DaxibotulinumtoxinA Topical Gel (RT001) did not achieve its co-primary and other endpoints. The co-primary efficacy endpoints in the trial were composite measurements of 2-point or greater and 1-point or greater improvement in lateral canthal lines between baseline and 28 days after treatment, as graded by the Investigator's Global Assessment of Lateral Canthal Lines (IGA-LCL) and the Patient Severity Assessment (PSA). RT001 topical generally appeared to be well-tolerated in this study.

"We are disappointed with the results of the REALISE 1 trial. The data was unambiguous, and we do not plan to continue development of RT001 topical for crow's feet. Based on these results, we have also decided not to pursue the current clinical development plan for RT001 in axillary hyperhidrosis.  We are grateful to all the patients and investigators for their participation in the REALISE 1 trial," said Dan Browne, President and Chief Executive Officer at Revance. "Given the positive results in our recent Phase 2 BELMONT active comparator trial, we will focus our future development efforts and financial resources on DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002)."

Mr. Browne continued, "Looking ahead to the second half of this year, we remain on track to initiate RT002 injectable Phase 3 clinical trials for glabellar lines and report interim Phase 2 results in cervical dystonia. We recently held an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding our RT002 injectable program for glabellar lines. We believe the meeting was informative and productive. Meeting minutes are in process, and consistent with company and industry practice, we look forward to providing further updates when we have final minutes from the FDA."

At the end of March 2016, Revance had cash and investments of $236.6 million. Based on its current development plans, the company now expect its cash and investments to fund its operations into the second quarter of 2018.

Phase 3 Trial Design - REALISE 1
The Phase 3 trial was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DaxibotulinumtoxinA Topical Gel (RT001) for the treatment of moderate to severe lateral canthal lines.  A total of 450 adult patients were enrolled at seven sites in the United States and were randomized 1:1 to a single treatment of either RT001 or placebo topical gel applied to lateral canthal lines on both sides of the face using Revance's proprietary applicator.

DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002) Pipeline Programs
Planned Phase 3 Program for the Treatment of Glabellar (Frown) Lines - In the BELMONT Phase 2 Active Comparator Study for the treatment of glabellar lines, Revance's RT002 injectable achieved 6-month median duration of effect for the 40-unit dose, showed a statistically significantly greater duration than the study comparator, BOTOX^® Cosmetic, and appeared to be safe and well-tolerated. The company plans to initiate a Phase 3 program in the second half of 2016.

Phase 2 Trial for the Treatment of Cervical Dystonia - Revance's Phase 2 dose-escalating study of RT002 injectable for the treatment of cervical dystonia is enrolling patients into Cohort 2, following the encouraging, preliminary results from a planned six-week safety review for patients enrolled in Cohort 1 (n=12) of the study. Revance expects to share interim results from this study in the second half of 2016.
