Revance Provides Corporate Update and Anticipated Milestones for 2020
NEWARK, Calif., January 9, 2020 - Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVNC), a biotechnology company pioneering new innovations in neuromodulator products for aesthetic and therapeutic indications, today provided a corporate and product pipeline update and shared anticipated milestones for 2020. The company also announced that its unaudited January 3, 2020 cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance was $306.1 million.
Corporate Updates
| • | Acceptance of BLA Submission for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (DAXI) in Glabellar Lines Expected Q1 2020 - In November 2019, Revance submitted its Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for DAXI in the treatment of moderate-to-severe frown lines. In the Phase 3 pivotal program, the median time to loss of none or mild wrinkle severity was 24 weeks and the median time to return to baseline wrinkle severity was approximately 28 weeks. Revance anticipates acceptance of the submission in the first quarter and projects potential approval in the fourth quarter of 2020. Subject to approval, the company plans to initiate commercialization activities before year end. |
| • | New Phase 2 Trial Initiated for Treatment of Full Upper Face - In December 2019, Revance initiated a new open-label Phase 2 trial for treatment of the full upper face — glabellar (frown), lateral canthal (crow’s feet), and forehead lines combined. This trial is being conducted to understand the safety and efficacy, including potential dosing and injection patterns, of DAXI, covering the full upper face. The company expects completion of enrollment in first quarter, with topline results in fourth quarter of 2020. This trial is in addition to the existing open-label Phase 2 clinical trials that the company has already fully enrolled in forehead lines and crow’s feet. |
| • | Enrollment Completed in Phase 2 Plantar Fasciitis Trial - In December 2019, Revance enrolled the last of 155 subjects in its Phase 2 placebo-controlled clinical trial of DAXI for the management of plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is characterized by inflammation and sharp, constant pain in the heel that can become incapacitating. The company expects to report topline results for the Phase 2 trial in the second half of 2020. |
| • | Close of Public Offering of Common Stock – Revance closed its underwritten public offering of 7,475,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $17.00 per share, including the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase 975,000 additional shares. The gross proceeds to the company from the offering, before deducting the underwriters’ discounts, commissions and other estimated offering expense payable by Revance, were approximately $127.1 million, which is reflected in the unaudited January 3, 2020 cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of $306.1 million. The company’s common shares outstanding was 53.4 million as of January 3, 2020. |
“This is a very exciting and pivotal year for Revance, with not only a number of significant clinical data read-outs, but also the expected U.S. approval and launch of our next-generation neuromodulator product, DAXI,” said Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Revance. “Our near-term focus is on completing the BLA approval process and finalizing our launch strategies to garner a meaningful share in the $1.4 billion* U.S. neuromodulator market. DAXI will create a new, long-lasting neuromodulator product category, delivering a premium experience that could require as few as two treatments per year and potentially provide patients with lasting, natural-looking frown line correction all year long. Although DAXI will be commercialized first in an aesthetics indication, we plan to unlock the long-term value of DAXI in an array of therapeutic indications, with clinical trials currently underway in cervical dystonia, upper limb spasticity and plantar fasciitis.”
