Peer-Reviewed Post Hoc Analysis Shows Jeuveau® is Highly Effective for Millennials by All Measures and at All Time Points Assessed

  • 100% of millennials achieved greater than 1-point improvement on the Glabellar Line Scale on days 7, 14 and 30
  • 100% of millennials were satisfied or very satisfied with treatment on days 7 and 30
  • Jeuveau® found to be well-tolerated by both millennials and non-millennials

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$EOLS--Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a performance beauty company with a customer-centric approach focused on delivering breakthrough products, today announced that Dermatologic Surgery published a new post hoc analysis of its Phase III studies comparing millennial patients to non-millennials. The data showed Jeuveau® (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) was well tolerated in both millennial and non-millennial patient populations, and highly effective for millennials with moderate-to-severe glabellar lines.1


Researchers analyzed 737 patients treated with Jeuveau® who participated in three single-dose, Phase III glabellar line clinical studies, comparing millennials (born 1982-2000) to non-millennials (born before 1981). Data showed that millennials achieved higher results across all effectiveness measurements and time periods, hitting statistical significance at several points. On the Glabellar Line Scale at maximum frown, 100% of millennials achieved greater than 1-point improvement on days 7, 14 and 30. Data also showed that responder rates among millennials were greater than those of non-millennials by approximately 7.7% across all visits and were statistically significant on days 7 and 90.1 Patient satisfaction remained high throughout the studies, with 100% of millennials satisfied or very satisfied with their treatment on days 7 and 30. Jeuveau® was similarly well-tolerated by both millennials and non-millennials. The overall incidence of adverse events assessed by the investigator as treatment-related was 16.4% among the millennials and 13.3% in non-millennials, which was not statistically significant.1

“This millennial publication adds to the body of clinical data around this growing patient segment, which has been significantly lacking,” said Dr. Jean Carruthers, Cosmetic Surgery, Inc., and lead study investigator. “As younger patients embrace ‘Prejuvenation’ to prevent the signs of aging, it is critical that we understand how they respond to treatment. These results show that not only is Jeuveau® well-tolerated by patients, it also demonstrated higher efficacy values in millennials across every measurable endpoint and every time point.”

“Millennial patients have demonstrated an interest in and willingness to adopt therapies to slow the appearance of aging,” said Rui Avelar, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research and Development, Evolus. “Separate publications referenced in this analysis note that in long-term repeat treatment studies over a one-year period where over 90% of patients had wrinkles at rest, over 70% demonstrated an improvement in those wrinkles.2,3 This is suggestive of soft tissue remodeling and may bode well for millennials trying to avoid the formation of wrinkles in the future.”

Millennials are a large and growing patient population who consider aesthetic treatments to be a part of normal life.4 While much has been published about millennials in the media in recent years, clinical data remains limited. The millennial publication is the latest in a series of analyses on emerging aesthetic populations, which includes a recent skin of color publication.

“The millennial consumer is the largest and fastest-growing demographic today and represents the single most important growth driver of the aesthetics industry,” said David Moatazedi, President and CEO of Evolus. “We have designed the Jeuveau® brand specifically for this younger generation who is increasingly incorporating aesthetic neurotoxin treatment into their everyday beauty regimen. We believe the findings of this analysis validate our millennial-focused strategy and will encourage broader adoption of Jeuveau® among this demographic.”

Jeuveau® is used for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe vertical lines between the eyebrows seen at maximum frown (glabellar lines) in adults below 65 years of age. The safety and efficacy of Jeuveau® were evaluated in the largest head-to-head pivotal study versus BOTOX® to date, enrolling more than 2,100 patients as part of Evolus’ TRANSPARENCY clinical development program. The product is approved for sale in the United States under the brand name Jeuveau® and in Canada under the brand name Nuceiva®. The company plans to launch Nuceiva® in Europe in the second half of 2022.
