Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Long Term Safety of patients determined by the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events
Up to 52 Weeks

Evaluation of adverse events and serious adverse events, from multiple continuous treatments of DAXI for injection, over the course of the study.

Change from Baseline Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS)-total score
Week 4 and Week 6

TWSTRS is used to assess the severity of cervical Dystonia and the success of its treatment. The average of the change from baseline in TWSTRS-total score at Weeks 4 and 6 will be determined. TWSTRS-total score has a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 85, where higher scores represent worse outcomes. It is made up of the summation of 3 subscales: the Torticollis Severity Scale (minimum score of 0, maximum score of 35), the Disability Scale (minimum score of 0, maximum score of 30), and the Pain Scale (minimum score of 0, maximum score of 20).

Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
0-36 weeks

Incidence rates based on the number and percentage of subjects treated within each cycle who report Adverse Events (AEs) at anytime following study treatment. Note that subjects could receive up to 3 consecutive treatments during the 36-week follow up period.

Percentage of Subjects Who Achieved ≥ 2 Point Improvement Independently and Concurrently on Investigator and Patient Rating Scales
Week 4

Percentage of subjects who achieve at least a 2-point improvement from baseline and a score of 0 or 1 (i.e., none or mild wrinkles in severity) on both Investigator and Subject Frown Wrinkle Severity (FWS) assessments

First time to retreatment
Outcome will be assessed during Visit 5 (2nd study injection visit) and reported at study conclusion. Visit 5 will take place for each individual subject between days 180 and 280.

Time to retreatment (in days) with DAXI between the first and second study injection cycle.

Final time to retreatment
Outcome will be assessed during Visit 7 (3rd study injection visit) and reported at study conclusion. Visit 7 will take place for each individual study subject between days 270 and 280.

For patients who receive 3 study injection cycles with DAXI over 12 months, a second primary endpoint will be the time to retreatment (in days) between the second-to-last and last injection cycle (i.e., between DAXI cycles 2 and 3).

Percentage of Participants With None or Mild in GL Severity at Maximum Frown
Week 4

The percentage of subjects achieving a score of 0 (none) or 1 (mild) in GL severity at maximum contraction (maximum frown) at Week 4 as assessed by the IGA-FWS

Percentage of Participants With None or Mild in FHL Severity at Maximum Eyebrow Elevation
Week 4

The percentage of subjects achieving a score of 0 (none) or 1 (mild) in FHL severity at maximum contraction (maximum eyebrow elevation) at Week 4 as assessed by the IGA-FHWS

Percentage of Participants With None or Mild in LCL Severity at Maximum Smile Effort
Week 4

The percentage of subjects achieving a score of 0 (none) or 1 (mild) in LCL severity at maximum contraction (maximum smile effort) at Week 4 as assessed by the IGA-LCWS

Percentage of Participants With None or Mild in LCL Severity at Maximum Smile
Week 4 After LCL Treatment

Percentage of subjects achieving a score or 0 or 1 (none or mild) in LCL severity at maximum smile at Week 4 after LCL treatment on the Investigator Global Assessment Lateral Canthal Wrinkle Severity (IGA-LCWS) scale

Change From Baseline at Week 8 in the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain for the Foot
Week 8

The primary efficacy endpoint, as identified in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) was the change from baseline in the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain for the affected foot at Week 8. The outcome was measured by means of a 100 mm VAS (0= no pain, 100= maximum pain) and higher reduction from baseline VAS pain scores means a better outcome.

Improvement of dystonia as measured by change from baseline in Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) - Total Score
Week 4

Secondary Endpoints

Weeks 4 and 6 of treatment cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 (12 - 52 weeks duration each)
The average of the change from Baseline in the TWSTRS Total Score at Weeks 4 and 6 for Treatment Cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 [Time Frame: Weeks 4 and 6 of treatment cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 (12 - 52 weeks duration each)]

Open label armEXPERIMENTALThe study cohort will consist of adults with blepharospasm who previously received onabotulinumtoxinA or incobotulinumtoxinA and will transition to DAXI 12 weeks after their last botulinum toxin treatment. Each participant will receive a DAXI dose equivalent to their prior therapy, using a 1:1 conversion for onabotulinumtoxinA or a 1.5:1 conversion for incobotulinumtoxinA, adjusted if prior treatment caused excessive weakness or other side effects. Injections will be limited to muscles directly involved in blepharospasm (the orbicularis oculi, corrugators, procerus, and nasalis) and will use a dilution of 10 units per 0.1 mL. Subjects may use topical anesthetics to reduce injection pain, and efforts will ensure the same injector administers all treatments to maintain consistency.

Frequently asked questions about Botulinum Toxins, Type A

What is botulinum toxins, type A used for?

Botulinum toxins, type A is being developed by Revance Therapeutics for two indications: moderate to severe glabellar frown lines, the vertical lines between the eyebrows, and plantar fasciitis, a painful inflammation of the tissue along the bottom of the foot. Both programs are in clinical development.

What does botulinum toxins, type A target?

Botulinum toxins, type A targets SNAP25, a hydrolytic enzyme protein involved in the release of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals. By acting on SNAP25, the therapy is designed to interfere with nerve signaling to the targeted muscle, which underlies its use in smoothing glabellar frown lines and in treating plantar fasciitis.

Who is developing botulinum toxins, type A?

Revance Therapeutics, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker RVNC, is developing botulinum toxins, type A. The company is running the clinical program for the asset across dermatology and musculoskeletal indications, including glabellar frown lines and plantar fasciitis.

What phase is botulinum toxins, type A in?

Botulinum toxins, type A is in Phase 3 clinical development and is investigational. It has not been established as approved. The program includes completed Phase 3 trials in glabellar frown lines and a completed Phase 2 trial in plantar fasciitis, with no trials currently listed as active.

What clinical trials is botulinum toxins, type A in?

Four completed trials are registered for botulinum toxins, type A. NCT03014635 and NCT03014622 were Phase 3 studies in moderate to severe glabellar lines, NCT03004248 was a Phase 3 safety study of single and repeat treatments in glabellar lines, and NCT03137407 was a Phase 2 study in plantar fasciitis.

How many patients were enrolled in trials of botulinum toxins, type A?

Across the registered trials, total enrollment was about 3,300 participants. The glabellar line studies enrolled 306, 303, and 2,691 patients respectively, and the plantar fasciitis study enrolled 59. The trials were randomized, double blind, and placebo controlled, and enrolled adults 18 years and older.
