Evolus Receives Regulatory Approval for Nuceiva® in Australia

• Australia among the largest countries in the world for aesthetic neurotoxins¹

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a performance beauty company with a customer-centric approach focused on delivering breakthrough products, today announced that the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has provided regulatory approval for Nuceiva^® (prabotulinumtoxinA)▼, a neurotoxin dedicated exclusively to aesthetics. Nuceiva^® was approved for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adult patients. Glabellar lines are the vertical lines between the eyebrows seen at maximum frown.

“We are thrilled to gain regulatory approval for Nuceiva^® in Australia, one of the largest market opportunities for aesthetic neurotoxins outside of the United States, where we are rapidly gaining market share, and Great Britain, where we recently launched commercial operations,” said David Moatazedi, President and Chief Executive Officer, Evolus. “This approval is the latest example of our commitment to broaden our international presence, which is a key component to reaching our aspiration of $500 million in total revenue by 2028.”

Evolus plans to launch Nuceiva^® in Australia during the second half of 2023 after commencing additional launches in Europe – beginning with Germany and Austria – in the first half of 2023. In addition to Great Britain, Nuceiva^® is also commercially available in Canada.

The safety and efficacy of Nuceiva^® was evaluated through the company’s global TRANSPARENCY clinical program, which included two Phase III U.S. trials, the largest head-to-head aesthetic pivotal study versus BOTOX^® (onabotulinumtoxinA) to date, and two long-term safety studies. The product is approved for sale in the U.S. under the brand name Jeuveau^®.
