Revance Investor Day Highlights New Neuroscience Indications in Development

Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVNC), a biotechnology company developing neuromodulators for use in treating aesthetic and therapeutic conditions, is holding its first Investor Day in New York City today. Executive management intends to provide company updates on the science underlying its technology platform, its long duration product candidate DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002) and key elements of its Product Launch Velocity Plan.

"Our vision is to be the leader in neuromodulators in any form," said Dan Browne, President and Chief Executive Officer at Revance. "We believe we have the science, analytic capabilities, clinical data, production capacity and commercial approach needed to enter the market from a place of strength. Our clinical trials indicate that RT002 is a differentiated neuromodulator, appears to be generally safe and well-tolerated and has shown high response rates and long duration of effect. Upon approval by the FDA, we first plan to launch our long-acting product, RT002, in the aesthetics market to treat frown lines, while pursuing additional therapeutic clinical programs focused on neuroscience. Our Product Launch Velocity Plan for RT002 will rely heavily on a personalized, targeted approach to generate consumer demand for the first next-generation neuromodulator in 30 years.”

Key Company Updates and Announcements

Research & Development:

• The company intends to provide an overview on its highly purified daxibotulinumtoxinA and the mechanism of action for drug product candidate DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002):
  • RT002’s proprietary peptide excipient serves as a unique stabilizing agent. No human serum albumin (HSA) or animal-sourced ingredients, which can potentially be a source of disease transmission, are used in the production of RT002.
  • Based on stability studies to date, RT002 may not require refrigeration during storage or shipping.
  • Demonstrated dosing and duration of response is not linear because 20 units of the leading neuromodulator, onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®), and 40 units of RT002 contain nearly the same amount of active 150 kDa neurotoxin (0.17 ng 150 kDa vs 0.18 ng 150 kDa, respectively).
  • In vitro data supports the hypothesis that RT002 has strong membrane binding at the site of injection, which the company believes contributes to long duration of effect and high response rates.

Clinical, Regulatory and Launch Milestones:

• Revance expects to complete and report the SAKURA Phase 3 open-label safety study consisting of approximately 2,500 enrolled patients in the second half of 2018 and is on track to file its Biologics Licensing Application (BLA) for RT002 to treat glabellar (frown) lines in first half of 2019. Product launch is expected in 2020, assuming FDA approval.
• The following clinical programs for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002) remain on track:
  • Cervical dystonia: The ASPEN Phase 3 program with RT002 for the treatment of moderate to severe isolated cervical dystonia is planned for initiation in the second quarter of 2018. Program is expected to include a single pivotal trial of approximately 300 patients and an open-label safety study to include approximately 300 patients from the U.S., Canada and Europe.
  • Plantar fasciitis: The 16-week results from the now completed Phase 2a trial in plantar fasciitis showed a 58% reduction in pain from baseline along with a strong placebo response, based on the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. A follow-on Phase 2 trial for plantar fasciitis is planned for the second half of 2018. Study is expected to be double-blinded, placebo-controlled utilizing two doses of RT002.
• The company is announcing two new clinical programs for RT002 in neuroscience indications with plans to initiate:
  • Upper limb spasticity: A Phase 2 dosing study in adult upper limb spasticity in the fourth quarter of 2018 with a goal to reduce the number of annual treatments.
  • Chronic migraine: A Phase 2 study in 2019 using a novel approach to treat chronic migraine to optimize the number of injections and designed to achieve long duration of effect.

Market and Commercialization:

• The neurotoxin market was estimated to be $4 billion in 2017 and is currently expected to grow to $7 billion by 2024.*
• Recent published surveys on neuromodulators indicates that duration is the #1 unmet need for physicians and long-lasting effect is the #1 patient request.
• The company has established the Revance Product Launch Velocity Plan – covering sales, marketing, digital outreach and commercial operations – and is preparing for an anticipated launch of RT002 for the treatment of glabellar lines in 2020.
