AxisBiotix-Ps(TM) receives health authority approval for launch
in France
-- Third European market to receive approval after Spain and Italy earlier in 2023
-- Marketing to customers to start in October 2023
-- Additional new geographical revenue stream
15 September 2023 - SkinBioTherapeutics plc (AIM: SBTX), a life
science business focused on skin health, has announced that it has
received approval from regulators to sell AxisBiotix-Ps(TM), a food
supplement to alleviate the symptoms associated with Psoriasis,
into the French market. Marketing of the product is expected to
launch in France in October.
The announcement follows the launch of AxisBiotix-Ps(TM) in
Spain and Italy earlier this year, after prior authorisation was
received in March and June respectively. Building on the initial
launch in the UK where customer retention rates have remained above
80%,(1) the launch of AxisBiotix-Ps into another European market is
the continuation of this commercialisation strategy.
Psoriasis is a common skin condition that effects 2-3% of the
global population. There are as many as 2 million people suffering
from psoriasis in France. Like other Western European countries,
France has high rates of food supplement use, with one-third of
respondents to a recent survey indicating they regularly use such
supplements, and over half saying they had used them in the past
year.(2)
The next target country for launch is to be confirmed, but the
Company is in talks with other European regulatory agencies to
expand the availability of AxisBiotix-Ps(TM) .
Stuart J. Ashman, CEO of SkinBioTherapeutics, said: "In line
with our strategic plan, we are delighted that AxisBiotix-Ps(TM) is
now approved for sale in another market, after the previous
launches in the UK, Spain, and Italy. We anticipate an open
reception from potential new customers in our European markets due
to their positive attitude to food supplements. We have now
completed the goal of launching in three major European markets in
2023 and we look forward to updating the market on other country
launches next year."
Psoriasis is a lifelong condition, with no known cure, which
impacts the everyday lives of sufferers. Existing treatments such
as steroids or immuno-suppressants cannot be used over the
long-term, which makes AxisBiotix-Ps (TM) an effective solution to
alleviate its symptoms. As a food supplement, AxisBiotix-Ps(TM) is
a food supplement that seeks to act on the gut-skin axis
re-introducing missing bacteria into the gut and redressing the
balance to improve skin health. The importance of the gut-skin axis
is backed by strong scientific data.
1: Retention rates being measured as the number of subscribers
who are remaining as a subscriber at the end of each month,
compared to the same cohort that were in existence at the start of
the previous month.
