AEON Biopharma has announced a strategic shift to pursue a biosimilar pathway for ABP-450, its lead candidate for treating cervical dystonia (CD). The company plans to conduct a Phase 3 study comparing ABP-450 directly with BOTOX® via the FDA's 351(k) regulatory pathway. This move follows promising Phase 2 trial results and aims to secure approval for all of BOTOX’s current and future therapeutic indications. An in-person FDA meeting is scheduled for Q3 2024 to discuss this plan. If successful, the Phase 3 study could pave the way for a Biologics License Application (BLA) filing.
