ASPEN Phase 3 Clinical Program in Cervical Dystonia

In 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted orphan drug designation for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection to treat cervical dystonia, which provides certain developmental and financial benefits to trial sponsors.

The company’s ASPEN Phase 3 clinical program consists of the following two trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for the treatment of cervical dystonia in adults:

• Randomized Controlled Trial (ASPEN-1): Patients were randomized to a single treatment of either 125 Unit or 250 Unit dose of DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection, or placebo. Post-treatment, patients are followed for a maximum of 36 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint of the trial was the mean change from baseline in the TWSTRS Total Score at the average of Weeks 4 and 6. Key secondary endpoints include the duration of treatment effect, measurement of treatment response on the Clinical and Patient Global Impression of Change assessments and adverse events. Further, the trial featured exploratory efficacy assessments including the Cervical Dystonia Impact Profile (CDIP-58), a disease-specific, patient-rated questionnaire that measures quality of life.
• Open-Label Study (ASPEN-OLS): Patients receive up to four sequential treatment cycles of DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection over the 52-week observation period. Primary endpoints of the trial are safety and immunogenicity after multiple cycles of treatment with DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection. Key secondary endpoints are the change from baseline in TWSTRS Total Score and overall treatment response based on the Clinical and Patient Global Impression of Change. The ASPEN-OLS trial is fully enrolled with a total of 354 patients at sites located in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Additional information about the ASPEN Phase 3 program is available at www.clinicaltrials.gov.

About Cervical Dystonia

According to the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation, cervical dystonia is a painful and disabling chronic condition in which the neck muscles contract involuntarily, causing abnormal movements and awkward posture of the head and neck. The movements may be sustained (tonic), jerky (clonic), or a combination. Cervical dystonia (also referred to as spasmodic torticollis) may be primary (meaning that it is the only apparent neurological disorder, with or without a family history) or may be the result of secondary causes (such as physical trauma).

First-line treatment for cervical dystonia is usually neuromodulator (botulinum toxin) injections, but additional treatments can include oral medications, surgery, and complementary therapies. Neuromodulators block the communication between the nerve and the muscle, relaxing the muscle, which alleviates abnormal involuntary movements and postures. Current neuromodulator treatments for cervical dystonia have a duration of effect of approximately three months with patients experiencing symptom re-emergence within approximately 10.5 weeks. Cervical dystonia can occur at any age, although most individuals first experience symptoms in middle age. The condition affects a few hundred thousand adults and children in the United States alone. The global market opportunity for cervical dystonia was $436 million in 2021 and is expected to grow to $624 million by 2026.¹ According to the Decision Resources Group, the global market for treating cervical dystonia and spasticity muscle movement disorders was approximately $1.2 billion in 2021.¹

About Revance

Revance is a biotechnology company focused on innovative aesthetic and therapeutic offerings, including its next-generation neuromodulator product, DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection. DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection combines a proprietary stabilizing peptide excipient with a highly purified botulinum toxin that does not contain human or animal-based components. Revance has successfully completed a Phase 3 program for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection in glabellar (frown) lines and is pursuing U.S. regulatory approval. Revance is also evaluating DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection in the full upper face, including glabellar lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet, as well as in two therapeutic indications - cervical dystonia and adult upper limb spasticity. To accompany DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection, Revance owns a unique portfolio of premium products and services for U.S. aesthetics practices, including the exclusive U.S. distribution rights to the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers, the first and only range of FDA-approved fillers for correction of dynamic facial wrinkles and folds, and the HintMD fintech platform, which includes integrated smart payment, subscription and loyalty digital services. Revance has also partnered with Viatris (formerly Mylan N.V.) to develop a biosimilar to BOTOX®, which would compete in the existing short-acting neuromodulator marketplace. Revance is dedicated to making a difference by transforming patient experiences. For more information or to join our team visit us at www.revance.com.
