Galderma to Present New Findings From Innovative Product Portfolio at the 2022 VCS Annual Symposium

Galderma, the leading company solely dedicated to advancing the future of dermatology, announced it will present four scientific presentations at the 2022 Vegas Cosmetic Surgery (VCS) & Aesthetic Dermatology Annual Symposium to showcase the latest advancements surrounding its approved and investigational product updates.

“We look forward to unveiling the latest data and research across our innovative dermatology pipeline and portfolio at this year’s VCS symposium,” said Bill Andriopoulos, Vice President, Medical Affairs Galderma U.S. “Our commitment to patients is underscored by the dermatological solutions we are investigating and bringing to market. We are excited to continue to realize the potential of our product portfolio and share our findings with the larger scientific community.”

The data presentations stem from Galderma’s neuromodulators relabotulinumtoxinA (QM1114), an investigational product, and Dysport^® (abobotulinumtoxinA)* as well as its collagen stimulator, Sculptra^® (injectable poly-L-lactic acid).

There will be two scientific presentations featuring the latest READY-1 and READY-2 Phase 3 data of relabotulinumtoxinA, a proprietary novel, ready-to-use, liquid formulation of investigational botulinum toxin, for the treatment of glabellar lines and lateral canthal lines. There will also be data presented from across three individual trials investigating the subject-relevant outcomes of on-label 50U Dysport for the treatment for moderate-to-severe glabellar lines. Additionally, data from NCT03780244, an open-label extension study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Sculptra after changes in reconstitution and injection procedure, will be presented at the symposium.

More details on Galderma’s activities can be found below.

Galderma’s on-site medical booth will feature an interactive Gel Science lab and resources for attendees to learn more about the product science and latest research. Additionally, Galderma will host a medical advisory board on Thursday, June 9, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. and a GAIN Lunch & Learn on Friday, June 10, 1:15 – 2:15 p.m. to share new research and findings across the portfolio, including live injections.

Symptoms can happen hours to weeks after injection and may include swallowing and breathing problems, loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, or loss of bladder control. Swallowing and breathing problems can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. You are at the highest risk if these problems are pre‐existing before injection.

Tell your doctor about any swallowing or breathing difficulties and all your muscle or nerve conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease], myasthenia gravis, or Lambert‐Eaton syndrome, which may increase the risk of serious side effects including difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing. Serious allergic reactions have occurred with the use of Dysport. Dry eye has also been reported.

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal and other natural products. Using Dysport with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines while taking Dysport without talking to your doctor first.

Especially tell your doctor if you: have received any other botulinum toxin product, such as Myobloc® (rimabotulinumtoxinB), Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA), or Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA), in the last four months or any in the past (be sure your doctor knows exactly which product you received, have recently received an antibiotic by injection, take muscle relaxants, take an allergy or cold medicine, or take a sleep medicine.

Sculptra should not be injected into the red area (vermillion) of the lip or in the peri-orbital area.
