IRVINE, Calif., March 30, 2026 - AEON Biopharma, Inc.

Recent Clinical and Corporate Highlights
Positive Biosimilarity Results
oIn November 2025, AEON reported positive initial comparative data for ABP-450, its proposed biosimilar to BOTOX . These initial analytical results confirmed identical amino-acid sequencing and highly similar functional characteristics to BOTOX . These analytical results were included in the package submitted to the FDA ahead of AEON's BPD Type 2a meeting.
Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis of over 3,400 amino acids demonstrated that the primary structure of ABP-450 exhibited a 100% sequence match to BOTOX , based on sequence coverage of 93-99% across all five proteins comprising the 900 kDa botulinum toxin type A complex.
Functional analyses demonstrated initial similarity in potency (using LD50 and cell-based potency assays), composition (vial-to-vial comparability analyzed with ELISA), and enzymatic activity (functional cleavage of SNAP-25 consistent with mechanism of action).
oThe Company continues to build on this analytical biosimilarity foundation and expects the majority of its analytical comparability program to be completed in 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
About the U.S. Biosimilar Pathway
Analytical similarity forms the scientific foundation of the 351(k) pathway and represents the most data-intensive phase of biosimilar development. When analytical comparability across critical quality attributes is robustly demonstrated, the FDA may reduce the scope of required clinical studies under its totality-of-the-evidence framework. Sponsors may also seek extrapolation to additional indications of the reference product when scientifically justified.
About AEON Biopharma
