Revance Commercial Launch

Revance is ready to execute its first commercial product portfolio launch with the completion of onboarding and training processes for their 100+ field force team.

The company plans to approach prestige aesthetic practices across the U.S., offering its first premium products and services, the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers, along with an integrated fintech platform, HintMD. The same commercial infrastructure is anticipated to roll out DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for the treatment of glabellar lines upon FDA approval later this year.

“Revance is positioned to re-energize the aesthetics industry with the creation of a prestige category of innovative products and services and elevated customer and patient experiences available through select practices. Our commercial team, comprised of industry experts with decades of aesthetics and commercial experience, is now trained and in position to execute Revance’s first commercial launch,” said Dustin S. Sjuts, Chief Commercial Officer. “We are delighted to be entering the market with the RHA® Collection, the latest innovation in HA technology, and an integrated fintech platform designed to transform existing payment processing ecosystems and improve both aesthetics practice economics and patient experiences. We plan to follow with our lead investigational candidate DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection after its anticipated approval, which is just around the corner.”

RHA® Collection of Dermal Fillers Clinical Study Results

The RHA® Collection of dermal fillers represent the latest advancement in HA filler science and are designed with a crosslinking method that preserves the hyaluronic acid network to more closely mimic natural HA found in the skin. The gels are designed to be resilient and adapt to facial movement, which may provide a natural look at rest and in motion.^2-5 The safety and efficacy of RHA® dermal fillers are well established, having been demonstrated through clinical studies, which have been published and presented globally, including:

18-Month Head-to Head European Clinical Study Published in Dermatologic Surgery

In an 18-month, head-to-head, randomized and controlled study published in Dermatologic Surgery, RHA® 2, 3, 4 were evaluated for efficacy, durability and safety versus other available comparator gels on the market for the treatment of nasolabial folds (NLF). Results showed: ⁶

• Overall physician preference for RHA® Collection products due to ease of injection and product placement, immediate results, and results after massage of the injected tissue
• High levels of improved satisfaction immediately after injection and in the long-term for both investigators and participating subjects
• Fewer touch-ups were needed by (or at) day 14 with gels in the RHA® Collection (26.7% versus 35.6% with comparators)
• Better long-term improvement of NLF volume with gels in the RHA® Collection based on 3D skin topography measurements.

European Clinical Experience and Tissue Integration Analysis Published in Journal of Drugs in Dermatology

Observations from clinical experience included⁷:

• RHA® fillers blend well into wrinkles and folds with excellent tissue integration
• RHA® 2 and RHA® 3 fillers could be used effectively in the superficial and mid-dermis for the treatment of perioral and marionette lines
• RHA® 4 filler, when used for volumizing, injected very easily and, during the follow-up period, the treated areas remained supple and treatment results natural looking.

U.S. FDA Approval Supported by Two 15-Month Studies Published in Dermatologic Surgery and the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology

In 2017, the FDA approved the RHA® Collection based on data from two U.S. studies, each a 15-month, prospective, multicenter, active-controlled, randomized, double-blinded, split-face clinical trial.^2-4 Results included:^{5, 8}

• More than 90% of patients were satisfied or very satisfied with their results 12 months after treatment
• Sustained clinical effectiveness, with over 80% of patients still maintaining a clinically meaningful response at 15 months
• Favorable long-term safety profile, with no delayed-onset adverse events reported.

The most frequent treatment-related adverse events reported in the U.S. clinical trials with RHA® 2, RHA® 3, and RHA® 4 were injection site firmness: 27.8%, 25.3%, 37.5%, lumps/bumps: 20.8%, 27.7%, 37.5%, tenderness: 9.7%, 13.3%, 15.8%, and injection site swelling reported in 8.3%, 12.0% and 19.2% of patients respectively. ^{2-5, 8}

The RHA® Collection is now available to select practices. Interested healthcare professionals are encouraged to visit RHACollection.com to receive product information and updates on the RHA® Collection.

About Dermal Fillers in the United States

Dermal fillers are injected into the superficial and deep layers of the skin to restore volume, smooth lines, provide facial lift and contour, plump the lips or improve the appearance of facial scars commonly caused by acne. Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers represent 88% of the total U.S. dermal filler market and are the second most frequently performed non-surgical aesthetic treatment after neuromodulator injections. The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) reported HA dermal filler procedures have increased by more than 58% since 2014, with an estimated 810,240 HA dermal filler procedures performed in 2018.⁹

Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body, primarily in the skin, joints and connective tissue. With age, human skin loses its ability to produce HA, resulting in loss of volume, firmness and elasticity. HA dermal fillers are manufactured from synthesized hyaluronic acid crosslinked to significantly enhance durability in the skin. These products can restore lost volume for six to 12 months or longer before the body gradually and naturally absorbs the HA.¹⁰ Most HA dermal fillers also contain lidocaine to help minimize discomfort during and after treatment.

The U.S. dermal filler market is estimated to be $1.1 billion in 2019 and is expected to double to $2.2 billion by 2026.¹¹

RHA® Approved Use

The RHA® collection of fillers is for injection into the facial tissue for the correction of dynamic facial wrinkles and folds that are moderate to severe, such as nasolabial folds, in adults 22 or older.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Are there any reasons why I should not receive any RHA® injectable gel formulation? Do not receive if you have a history of multiple severe allergies or severe allergic reactions; if you are allergic to lidocaine or gram-positive bacterial proteins; or if you have a bleeding disorder.

What precautions should I discuss with my doctor?

• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the safety of these products for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding has not been studied
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of excessive scarring, keloid formations or pigmentation disorders, as use of these products may result in additional scars or changes in pigmentation
• Tell your doctor if you are planning laser treatments or a chemical peel, as there is a possible risk of inflammation at the treatment site if these procedures are performed after treatment
• Tell your doctor if you are on immunosuppressive therapy used to decrease your immune response, as use of these products may result in an increased risk of infection
• Tell your doctor if you are using medications that can prolong bleeding, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners, as this may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site
• The safety and effectiveness of RHA® fillers in areas other than those indicated have not been established in U.S. clinical studies
• Patients who experience skin injury near the site of injection with this product may be at a higher risk for side effects
• Minimize strenuous exercise, exposure to extensive sun or heat, and alcoholic beverages within the first 24 hours following treatment

What are possible side effects?

The most commonly reported side effects included injection-site redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, discoloration, and itching.

One of the risks with using these products is unintentional injection into a blood vessel, and while rare, the complications can be serious and may be permanent. These complications, which have been reported for facial injections, can include vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring. As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection and recurrence of herpetic eruptions.

To report a side effect with any RHA® product, please call Revance at (877) 373-8669. Please visit RHACollection.com or talk to your doctor for more information. Available by prescription only.
