ZUG, Switzerland, July 30, 2024 -
Galderma has successfully concluded its European decentralized procedure (DCP) for Relfydess™ (
RelabotulinumtoxinA, previously known as QM1114), resulting in a favorable decision. Relfydess™ is designated for the temporary enhancement of moderate-to-severe glabellar lines (frown lines) at maximum frown and lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet) at maximum smile in adults under 65 years old, particularly when the severity of these lines impacts the patient psychologically.
Following the DCP's positive outcome, national approvals in the 16 involved European countries are nearing completion. Earlier this year, Relfydess™ also secured marketing authorization in Australia.
Relfydess™, developed and manufactured by Galderma, stands out as the first and only liquid neuromodulator ready for use, created with PEARL™ Technology. This technology is designed to maintain the integrity of the molecule, ensuring a highly active, innovative, and complex-free product. Notably, up to 39% of patients experience effects starting from day one, and up to 75% of patients sustain improvements for six months for both frown lines and
crow’s feet. This product is optimized for simple volumetric dosing without the need for reconstitution, enhancing ease of use and consistency in dose and volume.
The successful decision and previous Therapeutic Goods Administration approval in Australia were grounded in findings from the phase III READY (RElabotulinumtoxin Aesthetic Development StudY) clinical trial program, which included over 1,900 participants. The trials demonstrated the safety, efficacy, rapid onset, and sustained effects of Relfydess™ over six months.
Regulatory submissions for Relfydess™ for treating frown lines and crow’s feet will continue to be assessed by additional global authorities.
