Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

ZUG, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Galderma (SIX: GALD) today provided progress updates regarding the regulatory review of its pending Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for RelabotulinumtoxinA with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The Company has received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA with comments related to observations during manufacturing site inspection and analytical method optimization. As part of its review, the FDA conducted a Pre-License Inspection (PLI) of Galderma’s manufacturing site. All other aspects of the BLA, including safety- and efficacy-related parts, did not solicit deficiencies to be addressed.

The FDA made observations during the PLI for which Galderma is putting in place corrective and preventive actions. Galderma will also be seeking further guidance through continued open dialogue with the FDA toward resolution of the relevant observations. Galderma plans to rapidly respond to the CRL and advancing RelabotulinumtoxinA in the U.S. remains a top priority.

The observations do not impact approvals, launches, or regulatory reviews in other International markets.

Global launches progressing on track

As of today, Relfydess is approved in 33 markets and already launched in more than 20, including in Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia, with an encouraging early launch trajectory supported by positive healthcare professional feedback. Since 2022, this Galderma manufacturing site has completed 10 inspections from key regulatory authorities from around the world serving as the basis for International Relfydess launches. Regulatory filings in other territories are ongoing and remain on track.
