IRVINE, Calif. - AEON Biopharma, Inc. (NYSE: AEON), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, announced the resignation of its President and CEO Marc Forth, effective April 4, 2025. Forth will continue to serve on the company’s board of directors, providing strategic guidance. Jost Fischer, Chairman of the Board, will step in as interim CEO during the search for a permanent replacement.
The company, which is developing a botulinum toxin complex for various therapeutic indications, is currently progressing through a 351(k) biosimilar regulatory pathway. This process could potentially enable AEON to market its product, ABP-450, across all current and future therapeutic indications approved for BOTOX with a single FDA approval.
Fischer, who has been with AEON’s board since February 2017, acknowledged Forth’s significant contributions to the company’s growth strategy. He also expressed his commitment to advancing the ABP-450 program without interruption, emphasizing the company’s adequate cash balances to support upcoming FDA discussions in the second half of 2025.
AEON’s ABP-450, also known as prabotulinumtoxinA injection, is the same botulinum toxin complex marketed by Evolus under the name Jeuveau for cosmetic indications. It is manufactured by Daewoong in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice and has been approved by regulatory authorities in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. AEON holds exclusive development and distribution rights for therapeutic indications of ABP-450 in various regions, including the United States and European Union.
The company has a seasoned management team with expertise in biopharmaceutical development and the commercialization of botulinum toxin products. AEON’s forward-looking statements reflect plans for future meetings with the FDA and the development of ABP-450 as a biosimilar to BOTOX.
