JEUVEAU is a drug used in adults to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to
severe glabellar lines (wrinkles between the eyebrows).
JEUVEAU is given by a healthcare provider directly into the muscle through a needle
(known as an intramuscular injection). It is injected into five different sites of the muscles
of the frown lines. JEUVEAU should not be given more frequently than every three months.

DRUG TRIALS SNAPSHOT SUMMARY:
What is the drug for?
JEUVEAU is a drug used in adults to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (wrinkles between the eyebrows).
How is this drug used?
JEUVEAU is given by a healthcare provider directly into the muscle through a needle (known as an intramuscular injection). It is injected into five different sites of the muscles of the frown lines. JEUVEAU should not be given more frequently than every three months.
What are the benefits of this drug?
In two trials, patients with moderate to severe wrinkles between the eyebrows, had improvement of frown lines thirty days after treatment with JEUVEAU. In Trial 1, 67% of patients had temporary improvement of wrinkles between the eyebrows compared to 1% of patients in the group that received placebo. In Trial 2, 71% of patients had temporary improvement of wrinkles between the eyebrows compared to 1% of patients in the group that received placebo.
Were there any differences in how well the drug worked in clinical trials among sex, race and age?
- Sex: The majority of patients were women. The number of men was limited; therefore, differences in how well JEUVEAU worked in male patients compared to female patients could not be determined.
- Race: The majority of patients were White. The number of patients in other races were limited; therefore, differences in how well JEUVEAU worked among races could not be determined
- Age: The majority of patients were less than 65 years of age; therefore, differences in how well JEUVEAU worked among younger and older age groups could not be determined.
What are the possible side effects?
Botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to other areas and cause serious life-threatening side effects including swallowing and difficulty breathing that could lead to death. Spread of botulinum toxin products to other areas can also cause loss of strength and muscle weakness, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, and loss of bladder control.
Other serious side effects of botulinum toxin products include severe allergic reactions, and heart attack.
The most common side effects of JUVEAU are headache, upper respiratory tract infection, and drooping of eyelid.
Were there any differences in side effects among sex, race and age?
- Sex: The majority of patients were women. The number of men was limited; therefore, differences in the occurrence of side effects among male patients compared to female patients could not be determined.
- Race: The majority of patients were White. The number of patients in other races were limited; therefore, differences in the occurrence of side effects among races could not be determined.
- Age: The majority of patients were less than 65 years of age; therefore, differences in the occurrence of side effects among younger and older age groups could not be determined.
WHO WAS IN THE STUDIES?
Who participated in the clinical trials?
The FDA approved JEUVEAU based on evidence from two clinical trials (Trial 1/NCT02334423 and Trial 2/NCT02334436) of 654 adult patients with moderate to severe glabellar lines (wrinkles between the eyebrows). The trials were conducted at 20 sites in the United States.

How were the trials designed?
The benefit and side effects of JEUVEAU were primarily evaluated in two clinical trials.
Both trials enrolled patients 18 to 81 years old with moderate to severe glabellar lines (wrinkles between the eyebrows). Patients received a single intramuscular injection of JEUVEAU or placebo at five sites within the muscles between the eyebrows.
The benefit of JEUVEAU was assessed by determining the proportion of patients achieving at least a 2-grade improvement of wrinkles between the eyebrows at maximum frown from baseline to Day 30. Improvement of wrinkles between the eyebrows at maximum frown was assessed independently by both the investigator and the patient using the Glabellar Line Scale (GLS). The GLS is a 4-point grading scale that assesses improvement (0=none, 1=mild, 2= moderate, 3=severe).
GLOSSARY
CLINICAL TRIAL: Voluntary research studies conducted in people and designed to answer specific questions about the safety or effectiveness of drugs, vaccines, other therapies, or new ways of using existing treatments.
COMPARATOR: A previously available treatment or placebo used in clinical trials that is compared to the actual drug being tested.
EFFICACY: How well the drug achieves the desired response when it is taken as described in a controlled clinical setting, such as during a clinical trial.
PLACEBO: An inactive substance or “sugar pill” that looks the same as, and is given the same way as, an active drug or treatment being tested. The effects of the active drug or treatment are compared to the effects of the placebo.
SUBGROUP: A subset of the population studied in a clinical trial. Demographic subsets include sex, race, and age groups.
