Botanix has announced the promotion of Dr Howie McKibbon to the role of Chief Operating Officer, from his current position as Chief Commercial Officer.
Howie has more than 20 years of leadership experience in the pharmaceutical industry. He has launched 15 products including 11 in dermatology, and managed over 30 dermatology products. Importantly too, he played a significant role in two of the world’s largest dermatology acquisitions with combined valuations of $7.8 billion.
Howie’s role will be expanded to include responsibility for all commercial, manufacturing, medical affairs and regulatory activities. We believe the breadth and depth of his experience will be invaluable as the Company prepares for FDA mid-cycle review of our lead asset, Sofpironium Bromide in late Q1 2023.

Botanix is pleased to share a recent analyst report published by Euroz Hartleys following last week’s announcement of positive results from our BTX 1702 Phase 1b/2 clinical trial for rosacea.
Analyst Seth Lizee noted:
“We believe the rosacea treatment universe is prime for disruption, with a gap in the market for drugs that can deliver similar efficacy without the side effects and limitations.
“Overall, these results strengthen BOTs already valuable pipeline of products, led by its lead asset Sofpironium Bromide, which the company recently submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for to the FDA (12 month review process).”
Botanix has released positive data from its BTX1702 rosacea clinical study.
The Phase 1b/2 randomised, double-blind vehicle-controlled study examined the effects Botanix’s CBD formulation BTX 1702 in adults with moderate to severe papulopustular rosacea over an 8-week treatment period. The study tested two different concentrations of BTX 1702 topical gel – 10% and 20% – alongside a control arm.
Pleasingly, both the 10% and 20% doses showed clinically meaningful results, with the 10% concentration showing statistically significant reduction in inflammatory lesions – an FDA-designated endpoint for the study. A review of the photo evidence from the study also demonstrated visibly reduced redness in target patients.
Both doses were found to be very safe and well tolerated when compared to the control gel.
Botanix medical advisor, Dr Ira Lawrence commented:
“To achieve this level of inflammatory lesion reduction and improvement in both IGA and CEA within 8 weeks is very exciting, particularly with such an excellent safety profile.”
Rosacea affects more than 430 million people worldwide, and the market for treatments is expected to reach US$2.6 billion by 2025.
Botanix has today announced the submission of a New Drug Application to the FDA for approval of Sofpironium Bromide for the treatment of severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating).
Phase 3 studies of Sofpironium Bromide showed very high statistical significance for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis. In the US alone, there are approximately 7.3 million people who suffer from this disorder, with more than half of them actively seeking treatment.
Botanix President and Executive Chair, Vince Ippolito, said:
“We are delighted with the achievement of this submission milestone, and are targeting FDA approval in the US for 4Q CY2023 (following the usual 12-month FDA assessment and review period) to enable the commencement of sales in the US market.”
