• Complete response requires qualification of new working cell bank (WCB), which is in progress
• The FDA stated that a reinspection of the company’s manufacturing facility will be necessary prior to approval

Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVNC), a commercial stage biotechnology company focused on innovative aesthetic and therapeutic offerings, announced today that it has received the official Type A meeting minutes from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the Complete Response Letter (CRL) received for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for glabellar lines. The Type A meeting was held on December 15, 2021.

Based on the meeting minutes, a complete response to address the outstanding observations related to the WCB and the drug substance manufacturing process will require Revance to qualify its new WBC by producing three consecutive drug substance lots and one drug product lot. The qualification of the new WCB has been underway and Revance plans to submit the new WCB qualification package as part of its biologics license application (BLA) resubmission as soon as possible. The FDA stated that a reinspection of Revance’s manufacturing facility will be necessary once the resubmission is accepted by the FDA. Based on FDA regulations, once the resubmission is accepted by the FDA, the agency has up to 6 months to complete its reinspection and review.

“We believe we have a clear path to resubmission of the BLA for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection for glabellar lines following our Type A meeting with the FDA,” said Mark J. Foley, Chief Executive Officer of Revance. “As we have noted previously and as confirmed by the FDA during the meeting, the CRL was related to the onsite inspection of our manufacturing facility and not the safety and efficacy of our drug product. The qualification of our new WCB is in progress and we look forward to resubmitting the BLA as soon as possible.”
