All other aspects of the BLA, including safety and efficacy related parts, did not solicit deficiencies to be addressed. Galderma has already identified changes to the manufacturing process to address feedback. It will also be seeking further guidance through continued open dialogue with the FDA toward resolution of the relevant issues.</p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Further update on the regulatory filing strategy of RelabotulinumtoxinA and broader neuromodulator R&amp;D partnership</strong></h3> <p> </p> <p>On September 28, 2023, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) issued its award on the arbitration commenced by Galderma in 2021 regarding the regulatory filing strategy for RelabotulinumtoxinA, and as a result, the arbitration is complete. While the award is confidential, the result is that the applications submitted for regulatory review are proceeding according to the initial strategy and Galderma and Ipsen await further feedback from regulators. </p> <p> </p> <p>Galderma remains responsible for development, regulatory filing and strategy, manufacturing, and commercialization. Interactions with regulatory authorities remain the responsibility of Galderma. Regulatory approval submissions and issued certificates will ultimately be in the name of Ipsen.</p> <p> </p> <p>The ICC award has no impact on the ongoing European decentralized procedure for the filing of RelabotulinumtoxinA nor on the commercialization of Galderma’s neuromodulator portfolio. Regulatory submissions in other territories are ongoing and remain on track.</p> <p> </p> <p>Furthermore, in a press release dated July 27, 2023, Ipsen made statements about the purported termination of the Galderma-Ipsen Research and Development (R&amp;D) partnership.  Galderma contests those statements and remains committed to resolution with Ipsen.</p> <p> </p> <p>Galderma remains committed to bringing scientific innovation to its healthcare professionals, consumers and patients globally by expanding its neuromodulator portfolio as part of the broadest Injectable Aesthetics portfolio on the market.</p> <h2> </h2> <h2>About Galderma</h2> <p>Galderma is the emerging pure-play dermatology category leader, present in approximately 90 countries.

Understanding that sensitive skin ages differently, Cetaphil is aiming to support sensitive skin consumers during the aging process with a retinol alternative range formulated with purified peptides to help defend against visible signs of aging.</p> <p> </p> <blockquote> <p>“Aging skin is a particular point of frustration for my sensitive skin patients due to increased risks of irritation and an already compromised skin barrier. Active ingredients like retinol are especially not well-tolerated, so I’m thrilled to share Cetaphil Healthy Renew with them as a new, gentle, and efficacious option to combat the early signs of aging.”</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>DR. DENDY ENGELMAN</strong></p> <p><strong>BOARD-CERTIFIED DERMATOLGIST AND CETAPHIL PARTNER</strong></p> <p> </p> </blockquote> <p><br /> Sensitive skin consumers have been historically underserved in the aging skin category, with mainstream ingredients such as retinol often being too harsh. After researching more than 300 peptides, Cetaphil selected highly purified botanical glycopeptides as the optimal ingredient for Healthy Renew, replicating the benefits of retinol while being well tolerated.  </p> <p> </p> <blockquote> <p>“Those with sensitive skin have an inherently compromised skin barrier, causing it to age differently than other skin types. This is because the skin experiences recurrent irritation that can affect the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. The simplified protein chains within the Healthy Renew collection are a gentler option for sensitive skin, don’t require typical adaptation time, and aren’t known to increase sensitivity to the sun. Instead, they help reduce the visible signs of aging with minimal skin disruption.”</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>MATTHEW MECKFESSEL, PHD</strong></p> <p><strong>DIRECTOR, MEDICAL AFFAIRS</strong></p> <p><strong>GALDERMA</strong></p> </blockquote> <p> </p> <p>Combined with Vitamins B3 and B5 to help hydrate, soothe, and repair the skin’s moisture barrier, Healthy Renew’s formula also includes botanical extracts from Rice lees and Edelweiss to target dullness and uneven skin tone.

This has no impact on the commercialization of Galderma’s neuromodulator portfolio.</p> <p>Galderma will continue to commercialize and supply Dysport®/Azzalure® and Alluzience® in territories, where approved and as per the commercial agreements. With its leading brands and services, Galderma remains committed to serving its healthcare professionals, consumers and patients globally.</p> <p>Furthermore, Galderma is well-positioned to continue to build its neuromodulator pipeline, with proven in-house R&amp;D capabilities in medical aesthetics and neuromodulators, having developed QM-1114 internally (RelabotulinumtoxinA) as well as the world’s largest hyaluronic acid filler range, Restylane®. Galderma will continue its development and commercialization programs in the neuromodulators space. Along with Sculptra®, the first and original injectable poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulator, Galderma’s offering in neuromodulators and fillers makes for the broadest, unparalleled injectable aesthetics portfolio.</p> <p>In regards to the ongoing arbitrations with Ipsen, Galderma will continue to pursue every available remedy to enforce its rights. The two International Chamber of Commerce arbitrations commenced by Galderma in July 2021 relate to: (1) the regulatory filing strategy for relabotulinumtoxinA and (2) to differing views relating to which countries form part of Ipsen’s/Galderma’s territories under the agreement.

The results highlight the rapid onset of action of nemolizumab monotherapy in patients with prurigo nodularis, with significantly more patients receiving the treatment achieving an itch-free state (indicated by a weekly average peak-pruritus numerical rating scale [PP-NRS] score &lt;2) by week 4, vs. placebo (19.7% vs. 2.2%, p&lt;0.0001). These data expand upon those previously reported, namely a fivefold increase in the number of patients who achieved a clinically relevant improvement in itch intensity (PP-NRS reduction ≥ 4 points) at week 4 (41.0% for nemolizumab vs. 7.7% for placebo, p&lt;0.0001).<sup><a href="#_ednref1">[1]</a></sup></p> <p> </p> <p>The OLYMPIA 2 trial evaluated the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of nemolizumab compared with placebo in adult patients with moderate to severe prurigo nodularis. Topline data were presented to the scientific community earlier this year at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). The study met all primary and secondary endpoints, demonstrating that nemolizumab monotherapy significantly improved itch, skin clearance and sleep disturbance. The rapid onset of action was also highlighted, with patients experiencing improvement in itch, sleep intensity and skin clearance as early as week 4. The safety profile was consistent with the phase II results.<sup><a href="#_edn3">[3]</a></sup></p> <p> </p> <p>Galderma also presented the results of two Galderma-sponsored studies on the significant impact of prurigo nodularis and itch on sleep disturbance at WCD. In a retrospective, population-level, matched-cohort study, patients with prurigo nodularis were found to have a significantly increased risk of insomnia at one year and of sleep apnea at 10 years. In a qualitative study designed to understand how patients experience sleep disturbance related to prurigo nodularis, the majority (71%) reported that their sleep disturbance was solely due to itch.<sup><a href="#_edn4">[4]</a>,<a href="#_edn5">[5]</a></sup></p> <p> </p> <p>Nemolizumab is an investigational drug specifically designed to target IL-31 signaling to address the underlying causes of the disease. This includes directly addressing the source of itch, thereby improving quality of life outcomes such as sleep disturbance. Data from OLYMPIA 2, also presented at AAD, showed that nearly four times as many patients treated with nemolizumab achieved a significant and clinically meaningful improvement in sleep disturbance, measured by a 4-point improvement on the sleep disturbance numerical rating scale (SD-NRS; 37.2% for nemolizumab vs. 9.9% for placebo p&lt;0.0001).<sup><a href="#_ednref3">[3]</a></sup></p> <p> </p> <blockquote> <p>“The itch associated with prurigo nodularis is uniquely intense, causing significant sleep disturbance that substantially reduces quality of life.

It is more common in middle-aged women and, disproportionately, people of African descent.<sup><a href="#_edn6">[6]</a>,<a href="#_edn9">[9]</a></sup></p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>About nemolizumab</strong></h2> <p>Nemolizumab is a first-in-class investigational monoclonal antibody directed against the IL-31 receptor alpha that blocks signaling from IL-31. IL-31 plays a key role in multiple disease mechanisms in both atopic dermatitis and <a>prurigo nodularis</a>, a debilitating chronic skin condition characterized by thick skin nodules covering large body areas and associated with intense itch. With its unique role in directly stimulating itch-related sensory neurons and contributing to inflammation and barrier dysfunction, IL-31 bridges the gap between the immune and nervous systems while acting directly on the skin’s structural cells.</p> <p> </p> <p>Nemolizumab is in clinical development for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis in many countries around the world. Nemolizumab was granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2019 for the treatment of pruritus associated with prurigo nodularis. It was initially developed by Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and subsequently licensed to Galderma in 2016 – worldwide except Japan and Taiwan. In Japan, nemolizumab is approved for the treatment of pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis and is in development for prurigo nodularis.</p> <p> </p> <h2><strong>About the OLYMPIA 2 trial</strong></h2> <p>OLYMPIA 2 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III clinical trial designed to assess the efficacy and safety of nemolizumab monotherapy compared with placebo in patients aged at least 18 with prurigo nodularis after a 16-week treatment period. The trial also assessed the pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of nemolizumab compared to placebo. OLYMPIA 2 included 274 patients with moderate-to-severe prurigo nodularis.</p> <h2> </h2> <h2><strong>About Galderma</strong></h2> <p>Galderma is the pure-play dermatology category leader, present in approximately 90 countries.

Restylane® and Restylane-L® are also indicated for injection into the lips.</p> <p>Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine is for deep implantation into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds and for cheek augmentation and for the correction of age-related midface contour deficiencies. Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine is also indicated for injection into the dorsal hand to correct volume loss.</p> <p>Restylane® Silk is for lip augmentation and for correction of perioral wrinkles.</p> <p>Restylane® Kysse is for lip augmentation and for correction of upper perioral wrinkles.</p> <p>Restylane® Refyne is for mid-to-deep injection into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.</p> <p>Restylane® Defyne is for mid-to-deep injection into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe deep facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Restylane® Defyne is also indicated for injection into the mid-to deep dermis (subcutaneous and/or supraperiosteal) for augmentation of the chin region to improve the chin profile in patients with mild to moderate chin retrusion.</p> <p>Restylane® Contour is for cheek augmentation and for the correction of midface contour deficiencies.</p> <p>Restylane® Eyelight is for the improvement of infraorbital hollowing.</p> <p>Do not use if you have severe allergies with a history of severe reactions (anaphylaxis), are allergic to lidocaine or gram-positive bacterial proteins used to make hyaluronic acid, prone to bleeding, or have a bleeding disorder. The safety of use while pregnant or breastfeeding has not been studied. Tell your doctor if you have a history of scarring or pigmentation disorders as these side effects can occur with hyaluronic acid fillers. Tell your doctor if you are planning other cosmetic treatments (i.e., lasers and chemical peels) as there is a possible risk of inflammation at the injection site.</p> <p>Tell your doctor if you’re taking medications that lower your body’s immune response or affect bleeding, such as aspirin or warfarin, as these medications may increase the risk of bruising or bleeding at the gel injection site. Using these products on gel injection sites with skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infections should be postponed until healing is complete.</p> <p>The most common side effects are swelling, redness, pain, bruising, headache, tenderness, lump formation, itching at the injection site, and impaired hand function. Delayed-onset inflammation near the site of dermal filler injections is one of the known adverse events associated with dermal fillers, and cases have been reported to occur at the dermal filler treatment site following viral or bacterial illnesses or infections, vaccinations, or dental procedures. Typically, the reported inflammation was responsive to treatment or resolved on its own.  Serious but rare side effects include delayed onset infections, recurrence of herpetic eruptions, and superficial necrosis at the injection site. The risk of unintentional injection into a blood vessel is small but can occur and could result in serious complications, which may be permanent including, vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring of the skin. As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection.</p> <p>To report a side effect with any Restylane product, please call Galderma Laboratories, L.P at 1-855-425-8722.
