OnabotulinumtoxinA (VA Office of Research and Development)

Canada is the first country to approve a new botulinum neurotoxin serotype for aesthetic use Boey® is the first and only rapid-onset and short-duration botulinum neurotoxin serotype E approved for the temporary improvement in the appearance of glabellar lines Boey® offers a differentiated treatment option for many people who are curious about facial injectables Results may be seen as early as eight hours after treatment and typically wear off within approximately two to three weeks BOTOX Cosmetic® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is the only neurotoxin clinically tested for use following treatment with Boey® IRVINE, Calif., June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), announced Health Canada has approved Boey® (trenibotulinumtoxinE) for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adult patients. Boey® is the first and only rapid-onset and short-duration botulinum neurotoxin serotype E approved for the temporary improvement in the appearance of glabellar lines. "Health Canada's approval of Boey® marks an important scientific and regulatory milestone in advancing toxin science. As the world's first approval of a botulinum neurotoxin based on serotype E in aesthetics, Boey® represents a meaningful advancement in aesthetic medicine — a fast-acting neurotoxin with a differentiated profile that expands the treatment options for clinicians and patients," said Roopal Thakkar, M.D., executive vice president, research and development, chief scientific officer, AbbVie. A new Allergan Aesthetics survey found that 80% of people are open to learning about new treatments to get the results they want and 79% wish they could temporarily preview the outcome of an aesthetic treatment. 1 Despite growing interest in facial injectables, many patients are hesitant to take the next step due to uncertainty around treatment outcomes and committing to long-lasting results. Boey® was developed for these patients, offering a new way to experience neurotoxin treatment. "Boey® represents an important new advancement for patients and healthcare professionals, addressing a key need in aesthetic neurotoxins. With its truly differentiated profile, Boey® is redefining aesthetics and expanding what's possible by giving practitioners another option to tailor treatment to individual needs and goals, specifically, the ability to try a toxin without the long-term commitment," said Nicole Mowad-Nassar, senior vice president, AbbVie and president, global Allergan Aesthetics. "Allergan Aesthetics is proud to bring this innovation to Canada first and to continue advancing options that help shape the future of aesthetic medicine." Developed by the makers of BOTOX Cosmetic®, Boey® offers a new option for suitable patients considering facial injectables. BOTOX Cosmetic® is the only neurotoxin clinically tested for use following treatment with Boey®. Allergan Aesthetics plans to begin training healthcare professionals on the appropriate use of Boey® and is preparing for a commercial launch in the upcoming months as trenibotulinumtoxinE is under review for approval in multiple other countries. Allergan Aesthetics develops, manufactures and markets a portfolio of leading aesthetics brands and products. Allergan Aesthetics is well positioned to lead the future of injectable aesthetics, with dedicated research and development focused on driving innovation to meet the evolving needs of patients and healthcare professionals worldwide. -ENDS- About the Boey® clinical studies The approval of Boey® is supported by data from two randomised, multi-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of Boey® in adults with moderate to severe glabellar lines (M21-500 and M21-508) associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity. The studies enrolled 947 patients treated with Boey® 700 U total dose or placebo. The primary efficacy measure was defined as the percentage of subjects achieving None or Mild and ≥ 2-Grade Improvement from baseline in glabellar line severity at maximum frown based on both investigator and subject assessments using the Facial Wrinkle Scale (FWS) at Day 7. Efficacy was assessed in the ITT population. The composite responder rates at Day 7 were 60.0% and 65.7% (M2-500: n=289/482; M21-508: n=149/227; p<0.0001). Secondary efficacy endpoints were measured by Facial Line Satisfaction Questionnaire (FLSQ), a validated scale developed by Allergan Aesthetics, and included satisfaction with achieving a natural look and overall satisfaction with treatment effect. The onset of effect for patients treated with Boey® appeared as early as 8 hours after injection in both pivotal studies. Glabellar lines returned to baseline severity in approximately 14-21 days after administration. The most frequently reported treatment-related adverse events were headache (3.4% in the Boey-treated group and 4.2% in the placebo-treated group), injection site pain (1.7% in the Boey-treated group and 2.9% in the placebo-treated group), and injection site erythema (0.6% in the Boey-treated group and 1.3% in the placebo-treated group).2 BOEY ® CANADA APPROVED USES AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Boey® is used in adults to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar/frown lines). IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Boey ® may cause serious side effects, including: Distant spread of toxin effects. It is possible that the effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas of the body away from the injection site and cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. Trouble breathing and trouble swallowing can be life threatening. One unit (amount) of Boey® is NOT the same as one unit of other botulinum products. Boey® should only be given by a trained healthcare professional. They should have experience using Boey®. Follow the dose and schedule of injection recommended by your healthcare provider. Do not use Boey® if you are allergic to botulinum toxin or any of the other ingredients or you have a skin infection where you plan to get the injection To help avoid side effects and ensure proper use, talk to your healthcare professional before you take Boey®.

About Boey® Boey® is a facial injectable neurotoxin serotype E indicated in adult patients for the temporary improvement in the appearance of of moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity. It blocks neuromuscular transmission as the neurotoxin cleaves SNAP-25. It has a rapid uptake and translocation into neuronal cells, with a short half-life of the type E light chain, giving it a rapid onset of action and a short duration of effect when treating glabellar lines.2 About Glabellar lines Glabellar lines are the vertical lines that appear between the eyebrows and are commonly referred to as "frown lines". These lines develop over time due to repeated muscle contractions from facial expressions such as frowning, concentrating or squinting.

E-Posters are accessible via the AMWC App and in the E-Poster area (Level -2) of the Grimaldi Forum, March 26-28, from 8:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) Important Information Indications BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is indicated in adult patients for the temporary improvement in the appearance of: - Moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity - Moderate to severe lateral canthal lines associated with orbicularis oculi activity - Moderate to severe forehead lines associated with frontalis activity - Moderate to severe platysma bands associated with platysma muscle activity IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION, INCLUDING BOXED WARNING CONTRAINDICATIONS BOTOX® Cosmetic is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Lack of Equivalency Between Botulinum Toxin Products The potency Units of BOTOX ® Cosmetic are specific to the preparation and assay method utilized. BOTOX ® Cosmetic is not equivalent to other preparations of botulinum toxin products, and therefore, Units of biological activity of BOTOX ® Cosmetic cannot be compared to nor converted into Units of any other botulinum toxin products assessed with any other specific assay method. Spread of Toxin Effect Please refer to Boxed Warning for Distant Spread of Toxin Effect. No definitive serious adverse event reports of distant spread of toxin effect associated with dermatologic use of BOTOX® Cosmetic at the labeled dose of 20 Units (for glabellar lines), 24 Units (for lateral canthal lines), 40 Units (for forehead lines with glabellar lines), 44 Units (for simultaneous treatment of lateral canthal lines and glabellar lines), and 64 Units (for simultaneous treatment of lateral canthal lines, glabellar lines, and forehead lines) have been reported. Patients or caregivers should be advised to seek immediate medical care if swallowing, speech, or respiratory disorders occur. Serious Adverse Reactions With Unapproved Use Serious adverse reactions, including excessive weakness, dysphagia, and aspiration pneumonia, with some adverse reactions associated with fatal outcomes, have been reported in patients who received BOTOX® injections for unapproved uses. In these cases, the adverse reactions were not necessarily related to distant spread of toxin, but may have resulted from the administration of BOTOX® to the site of injection and/or adjacent structures. In several of the cases, patients had preexisting dysphagia or other significant disabilities. There is insufficient information to identify factors associated with an increased risk for adverse reactions associated with the unapproved uses of BOTOX®. The safety and effectiveness of BOTOX® for unapproved uses have not been established. Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious and/or immediate hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. These reactions include anaphylaxis, serum sickness, urticaria, soft-tissue edema, and dyspnea. If such a reaction occurs, discontinue further injection of BOTOX Cosmetic and immediately institute appropriate medical therapy. One fatal case of anaphylaxis has been reported in which lidocaine was used as the diluent and, consequently, the causal agent cannot be reliably determined. Cardiovascular System There have been reports following administration of BOTOX® of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes. Some of these patients had risk factors, including preexisting cardiovascular disease. Use caution when administering to patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease. Increased Risk of Clinically Significant Effects With Preexisting Neuromuscular Disorders Patients with neuromuscular disorders may be at increased risk of clinically significant effects, including generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphonia, dysarthria, severe dysphagia, and respiratory compromise from onabotulinumtoxinA (see Warnings and Precautions). Monitor individuals with peripheral motor neuropathic diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or neuromuscular junction disorders (eg, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome) when given botulinum toxin. Dysphagia and Breathing Difficulties Treatment with BOTOX® and other botulinum toxin products can result in swallowing or breathing difficulties. Patients with preexisting swallowing or breathing difficulties may be more susceptible to these complications. In most cases, this is a consequence of weakening of muscles in the area of injection that are involved in breathing or oropharyngeal muscles that control swallowing or breathing (see Boxed Warning). Preexisting Conditions at the Injection Site Use caution when BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is used in the presence of inflammation at the proposed injection site(s) or when excessive weakness or atrophy is present in the target muscle(s). Dry Eye in Patients Treated With BOTOX® Cosmetic There have been reports of dry eye associated with BOTOX® Cosmetic injection in or near the orbicularis oculi muscle. If symptoms of dry eye (eg, eye irritation, photophobia, or visual changes) persist, consider referring patients to an ophthalmologist. Human Albumin and Transmission of Viral Diseases This product contains albumin, a derivative of human blood. Based on effective donor screening and product manufacturing processes, it carries a remote risk for transmission of viral diseases and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). There is a theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), which would also be considered remote. No cases of transmission of viral diseases, CJD, or vCJD have ever been identified for licensed albumin or albumin contained in other licensed products. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most frequently reported adverse reactions following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for glabellar lines were eyelid ptosis (3%), facial pain (1%), facial paresis (1%), and muscular weakness (1%). The most frequently reported adverse reaction following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for lateral canthal lines was eyelid edema (1%). The most frequently reported adverse reactions following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for forehead lines with glabellar lines were headache (9%), brow ptosis (2%), and eyelid ptosis (2%). The safety profile of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment of platysma bands is consistent with the known safety profile of BOTOX® Cosmetic for other indications. DRUG INTERACTIONS Coadministration of BOTOX® Cosmetic and aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission (eg, curare-like compounds) should only be performed with caution as the effect of the toxin may be potentiated. Use of anticholinergic drugs after administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic may potentiate systemic anticholinergic effects. The effect of administering different botulinum neurotoxin products at the same time or within several months of each other is unknown. Excessive neuromuscular weakness may be exacerbated by administration of another botulinum toxin prior to the resolution of the effects of a previously administered botulinum toxin. Excessive weakness may also be exaggerated by administration of a muscle relaxant before or after administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS There are no studies or adequate data from postmarketing surveillance on the developmental risk associated with use of BOTOX® Cosmetic in pregnant women. There are no data on the presence of BOTOX® Cosmetic in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production.
