KYTHERA Biopharmaceuticals Information

KYTHERA is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel prescription products for the aesthetic medicine market. Our objective is to develop first-in-class, prescription products using an approach that relies on the scientific rigor of biotechnology to address unmet needs in the rapidly-growing market for aesthetic medicine. Our initial focus is on the facial aesthetics market, which comprises the majority of the aesthetic medicine market. Our product candidate, ATX-101, is a potential first-in-class, injectable drug currently in clinical development for the reduction of submental fat, which commonly presents as an undesirable "double chin." We maintain an active research interest in hair and fat biology, pigmentation modulation and facial contouring. In addition, we expect to assess future potential treatment indications for ATX-101 in the body with high aesthetic value.
