SAKURA Program Topline Results on Track to Report Fourth Quarter 2017
NEWARK, CA, USA I March 7, 2017 I Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVNC), a biotechnology company developing botulinum toxin products for use in aesthetic and therapeutic indications, today announced the completion of patient enrollment in two pivotal trials of the company’s SAKURA Phase 3 program for its investigational drug candidate DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002) for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults. Glabellar line treatment is the most popular aesthetic procedure for botulinum toxin and is estimated to have represented nearly $1 billion of the global market in 2015. Revance’s Phase 3 program is comprised of two pivotal trials evaluating the efficacy, safety and duration of RT002, as well as a long-term safety trial, the latter of which continues to enroll patients. The company expects to report topline results from both pivotal Phase 3 trials in the fourth quarter of 2017.
“Our SAKURA program is designed to confirm RT002’s potential to deliver high response rates and long lasting treatment of frown lines,” said Dan Browne, co-founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer at Revance. “We believe RT002 will help reduce the number of annual treatments that could potentially lead to greater patient satisfaction. Data presented last year from our BELMONT Phase 2 study demonstrated a six-month median duration of effect. This compares favorably to duration of three to four months for the treatment of glabellar lines noted in the labels of commercially available neurotoxins. This pivotal Phase 3 program is expected to build on the BELMONT results and establish RT002 as the first long-lasting neuromodulator.”
SAKURA Phase 3 Clinical Program
The company’s Phase 3 clinical program includes two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pivotal trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single administration of RT002 for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults. The pivotal trials have enrolled a total of approximately 600 subjects at multiple sites in the United States and Canada. In both trials, subjects have been randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either the RT002 or placebo treatment groups, respectively. Post-treatment, subjects will be followed for at least 24 weeks and up to 36 weeks.
The primary efficacy endpoint of the pivotal trials will be a composite of the proportion of subjects who achieve a score of 0 or 1 (none or mild) and a two-point improvement from baseline in glabellar line severity on the Investigator Global Assessment-Facial Wrinkle Severity (IGA-FWS) and Patient Facial Wrinkle Severity (PFWS) scales, at maximum contraction (frown), at Week 4. Duration of the reduction of severity of the glabellar lines will be assessed as a secondary efficacy endpoint in the Phase 3 pivotal trials.
In addition to the two pivotal trials, the Phase 3 program includes a long-term, open-label safety trial, which is designed to evaluate the long-term safety of RT002 for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults following both single and repeat treatment administration. The long-term safety trial is expected to enroll approximately 1,500 subjects at multiple sites in the US and Canada. Depending on the number of treatments and duration of follow-up, a subject may be on trial for a maximum of 84 weeks.
