The injectable neurotoxin drug candidate daxibotulinumtoxinA for injection (RT002, Revance Therapeutics) started phase 3 SAKURA trials in December 2016. The pair of double-blind, placebo-controlled, North American studies are evaluating single injections of daxibotulinumtoxinA for the treatment of glabellar lines in about 600 patients at several study centers, Tina S. Alster, M.D., an investigator for the phase 3 SAKURA trials tells Dermatology Times.
