3 Objectives 1. Discuss the structure and function of botulinum toxin 2. Briefly review history 3. Review current botulinum toxin products available in US 4. Discuss study comparing multiple preparations 5. Discuss ongoing studies for botulinum toxins and future indications **Discussion of off label uses of botulinum toxins

4 Botulinum Toxin Structure 7 serotypes A G found in nature Heavy Chain and light chain complex held by disulfide bonds Accessory proteins: hemaggluttinin and nonhemaggluttinin proteins Manual of Botulinum Toxin Therapy. Cambridge University Press; 2 edition (March 31, 2014)

5 Botulinum Toxin Structure Light Chain (enzyme) Light Chain (50 kd) Heavy Chain delivery/binding Heavy Chain (100 kd) Available:

8 History of Botulinum Toxin Justinus Kerner MD Studied botulism, known as sausage poisoning Botulus is Latin for sausage Published 2 monographs on the effect of botulism and found the causes of death to be cardiac failure or respiratory arrest The capacity of nerve conduction is interrupted by the toxin in the same way as in an electric conductor by rust Manual of Botulinum Toxin Therapy. Cambridge University Press; 2 edicon (March 31, 2014).

9 From Poison to Therapeutic Agent Clostridium botulinum linked to botulism Crude form of type A isolated by Herman Sommer, MD Botulinum toxins shown to block neuromuscular transmission BoNT-A: Preclinical research by Allan Scott and Edward Schantz MD BoNT-A: First experimental use in humans by Allan Scott, MD s FDA approves Glabellar lines 2002 FDA approves Primary Axillary Hyperhydrosis FDA approves Dysport 1920s s Botox & Myobloc FDA approved for Cervical Dystonia FDA approves ULS & Chronic Migraine New formulation of Botox (low protein) FDA Approved 1997 FDA approves Xeomin 2011 NDO Overactive Bladder FDA approves Botox for Strabismus & blepharospasm

10 Various Preparations of Botulinum Toxins Available:

11 Unique Names for Botulinum Toxins Onabotulinum toxin A Botox Abobotulinum toxin A Dysport Incobotulinum toxin A Xeomin Rimabotulinum toxin B Myobloc Using brand names as they are easier to mention and more recognized.

12 Comparison of US Toxin Formulations Botox Dysport Xeomin Myobloc OnabotulinumtoxinA AbobotulinumtoxinA IncobotulinumtoxinA RimabotulinumtoxinB Vacuum Drying Lyophilization Lyophilization Soluble (500 units / 0.1ml) 900 kd complex 300 /600 kd complex 150 kd 600 kd 100 unit 300 unit 50 unit 2500 unit 200 unit 500 unit 100 unit 5000 unit units

14 Benefits of Multiple Preparations Multiple options for patients Increased funding for scientific and clinical research Increased disease states studied Improved patient access to botulinum toxin therapy

15 Multiple Preparations 4 commercially available botulinum toxins in the United States Differences in purification process 1 units is LD50 and is based on proprietary assay (no standardized assay available) Each toxin has a unique dosing range Food & Drug Administration Conversion: Units / doses of each toxin formulation are unique and non-interchangeable Conversion table or ratio are strongly discouraged Black Box Warning Potentially life threatening distant toxin spread after local injection REMS (Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy) for patients to understand risk

16 A Study Evaluating Multiple Botulinum Toxin Preparations? Blepharospasm: long-term treatment with either Botox, Xeomin or Dysport. Kollewe K, Mohammadi B, Köhler S, Pickenbrock H, Dengler R, Dressler D. J Neural Transm (Vienna) Mar;122(3):

17 Study Overview 288 patients with blepharospasm 3 toxin preparations: Botox, Dysport and Xeomin Botox and Xeomin 4 units / 0.1ml Dysport 10 units / 0.1ml Evaluated toxin dose, dose ratio Reviewed latency, duration and response Reviewed adverse events across toxins 17

18 Results 18

19 Results 19

20 Lessons From the Study Various Botulinum toxins effectively manage blepharospasm Slight variability in latency and duration but not statistically significant No significant variability in side effects across multiple preparations Significant differences in dosing and dilution Key point: To use botulinum toxins effectively you must be familiar with dose and dilution 20

21 On Label Conditions Treated with Botulinum Toxin On Label On Label Continued 2 placebo controlled trials showing benefit Blepharospasm Cosmetic Hyperhidrosis Strabismus Hemifacial Spasm* Cervical Dystonia Chronic Migraine Upper Limb Spasticity Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity Detrusor Overactivity

22 Off Label Conditions Treated with Botulinum Toxin Lack 2 placebo controlled trials but there is medical evidence showing benefit Various dystonias Lower Limb Spasticity Pediatric indications Pain syndromes Bruxism Achalasia There are more off label uses of botulinum toxins than on label uses
