NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVNC), a biotechnology company focused on innovative aesthetic and therapeutic offerings, including its next-generation neuromodulator product, DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (DAXI), today announced that it is continuing discussions with Mylan N.V. (NASDAQ: MYL) regarding whether or not Mylan plans to move forward with the biosimilar to BOTOX® program. As previously disclosed, the expected decision date for Mylan is the later of April 30, 2020 or thirty days from the date that Revance provides Mylan with certain deliverables regarding the program. Revance will issue an update on the path forward for the program once Mylan’s decision has been reached.
Mylan and Revance originally signed a collaboration and license agreement in February 2018 for the development and regulatory approval of a biosimilar to BOTOX®, to be followed with commercialization by Mylan in the U.S., Europe and applicable markets throughout the rest of the world. The agreement included an upfront payment of $25 million to Revance.
In September 2019, the companies amended their agreement to include an additional one-time payment of $5 million to Revance in exchange for an extended decision period for Mylan to agree to move forward with a development program. Since that time, Revance has carried out additional characterization work and analysis for the benefit of the program.
