Galderma’s Relfydess™ (RelabotulinumtoxinA) Receives Positive Decision for Use in Europe

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Galderma today announced that it has completed its European decentralized procedure (DCP), resulting in a positive decision for Relfydess^TM (RelabotulinumtoxinA – previously referred to as QM1114). Relfydess^TM is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate-to-severe glabellar lines (frown lines) at maximum frown and lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet) seen at maximum smile, alone or in combination, in adult patients under 65 years, when the severity of these lines has an important psychological impact on the patient.⁹ Following the successful completion of the DCP, national approvals in the 16 concerned countries are now under finalization. Relfydess^TM also received a marketing authorization in Australia earlier this year.

Relfydess^TM is developed and manufactured by Galderma. It is the first and only ready-to-use liquid neuromodulator created with PEARL™ Technology that is designed to preserve molecule integrity to deliver a highly active, innovative, complex-free molecule, with up to 39% of patients seeing effects from day one and up to 75% of patients maintaining improvements for six months for frown lines and crow’s feet.^3,4,7,8 It is optimized for simple volumetric dosing, without reconstitution, to increase ease of use and help ensure consistent dose/volume.^1,10

This positive decision, and the previous Therapeutic Goods Administration approval in Australia, were based on results from the phase III READY (RElabotulinumtoxin Aesthetic Development StudY) clinical trial program, which enrolled more than 1,900 participants. Results showed:^3,4,7,8

• Improvement in both frown lines and crow’s feet versus placebo:

  • In READY-1 and READY-2, treatment with Relfydess^TM demonstrated a 96.3% none-or-mild responder rate for frown lines and 87.2% for crow’s feet, after one month, vs 4.5% and 11.9% for placebo, respectively.

• Onset of action as soon as day one:

  • In READY-1 and READY-2, 39% of patients reported improvements for frown lines and 34% reported improvements for crow’s feet from day one.

• Sustained results for six months:

  • In READY-1 and READY-2, up to 75% of patients maintained improvements for six months.

  • At month one, up to 96% achieved none-or-mild frown lines and crow’s feet, which was sustained for six months in almost a quarter of patients.

• Patient satisfaction was maintained for six months following treatment.

Regulatory applications for Relfydess™ for the treatment of frown lines and crow’s feet will continue to be submitted and assessed by additional authorities globally.
