NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (RVNC) today announced that new data on DAXXIFY® will be presented at the annual meeting of Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP), taking place in Anaheim, California, February 21-24, 2023. The supplemental biologics license agreement for DAXXIFY® for the treatment of cervical dystonia is currently under regulatory review with the Food and Drug Administration.
A poster by Dr. Cynthia Comella and colleagues reports on 382 patients receiving 1,240 DAXXIFY® treatments across up to five injection cycles over an 88-week time span, based on the masked, randomized ASPEN-1 pivotal trial and subsequent ASPEN Open Label Study (OLS). The findings reinforce the extended duration of efficacy and favorable safety profile of DAXXIFY®. Notably the duration of effect, as measured by an >80% loss of peak Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) benefit, was maintained for approximately 20 to 26 weeks across the evaluable injection cycles. Dysphagia rates (difficulty swallowing) were low (2.7% for ASPEN-1 and 4.2% for ASPEN-OLS), further supporting DAXXIFY’s safety profile.
A second poster, by Dr. Peter McAllister and colleagues, focuses on the 357 patients in the ASPEN OLS study in which physicians began dosing at either 125 or 250 U and were then permitted to refine dosing based on the clinical response. Symptoms continued to improve with successive DAXXIFY® treatments. The average dose at the last visit was 243 U, with 37% of patients receiving up to 300 U during the study. The rate of adverse events remained low with repeated dosing and at increasing dosing levels.
“These analyses demonstrate that DAXXIFY’s extended duration of effect is sustained across multiple injection cycles.” said David A. Hollander, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer. “The low rate of adverse events with repeated treatments and as doses were increased on an individual patient basis lends even further support that DAXXIFY® can offer a new and differentiated treatment option for patients with cervical dystonia.”

INDICATION
DAXXIFY® (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) for injection is an acetylcholine release inhibitor and neuromuscular blocking agent indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity in adult patients.
WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT
The effects of DAXXIFY® and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. DAXXIFY® is not approved for the treatment of spasticity or any conditions other than glabellar lines.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Contraindications
DAXXIFY® contraindications include hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or any of the components in the formulation and infection at the injection site(s).
Warnings and Precautions
Please refer to Boxed Warning for Distant Spread of Toxin Effect.
The potency units of DAXXIFY® are not interchangeable with other preparations of other botulinum toxin products. Recommended dose and frequency of administration should not be exceeded. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if respiratory, speech or swallowing difficulties occur. Use caution when administering to patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Concomitant neuromuscular disorders may exacerbate clinical effects of treatment.
Adverse Reactions
The most commonly observed adverse reactions (≥1%) were headache (6%), eyelid ptosis (2%) and facial paresis (1%).
Drug Interactions
Co-administration of DAXXIFY® and aminoglycoside antibiotics, anticholinergic agents or any other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission or muscle relaxants should only be performed with caution as the effect of DAXXIFY® may be potentiated. The effect of administering different botulinum neurotoxins during course of treatment with DAXXIFY® is unknown.
Use in Specific Populations
DAXXIFY® is not recommended for use in children or pregnant women.
Please see DAXXIFY® full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning and Medication Guide.

About Cervical Dystonia
According to the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation, cervical dystonia is a painful 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. 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 U.S. and global market opportunities for cervical dystonia are approximately $325 million and $438 million, respectively as of 2021.2 The U.S. and global market opportunities for treating muscle movement disorders with botulinum toxins, which include cervical dystonia and spasticity (upper and lower limb), are approximately $929 million and $1.2 billion, respectively as of 2022.2
