Mylan, Revance to Advance Development Program for Biosimilar to BOTOX
Mylan and Revance signed a collaboration and license agreement in February 2018 for the development and regulatory approval of a biosimilar to BOTOX, to be followed with commercialization by Mylan in the U.S., Europe, and applicable markets throughout the rest of the world.;
Newark & Hertfordshire & Pittsburgh: Revance Therapeutics, Inc. and Mylan N.V. have announced Mylan's decision to move forward with a development plan, under a 351(k) pathway, for a proposed biosimilar to BOTOX and BOTOX Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA), the market-leading neuromodulator.
Feedback obtained from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during a Biosimilar Initial Advisory Meeting (BIAM) held in February 2019 indicated that the 351(k) regulatory pathway for an onabotulinumtoxinA product is viable. Based on this meeting, along with the results from additional characterization and analysis completed by Revance, the two companies are now moving forward with the development program.
Mylan and Revance signed a collaboration and license agreement in February 2018 for the development and regulatory approval of a biosimilar to BOTOX, to be followed with commercialization by Mylan in the U.S., Europe, and applicable markets throughout the rest of the world. The agreement included an upfront payment of $25 million to Revance. In August 2019, the companies amended the agreement to include an additional one-time payment of $5 million to extend the period in which Mylan could choose to continue its collaboration and license agreement to develop Revance's biosimilar to BOTOX.
