AEON Biopharma says FDA feedback clarifies ABP-450 biosimilar development path

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 legal/regulatory Written later

AEON Biopharma received official minutes from its FDA Type 2b meeting on the development path for ABP-450, a proposed biosimilar to BOTOX. The FDA agreed in principle with the company's two-stage pharmacodynamic study design and said previously completed Daewoong comparative studies may be submitted as supportive evidence, while the company will not start a standalone comparative efficacy study for now. The filing also says the Two-Year Milestone Warrants will expire on November 16, 2026, which affects warrant holders.
