The AI's read
This gives AEON a clearer next step for testing ABP-450, not an approval. Earlier studies may help only after scientific comparisons connect them to U.S.-licensed Botox and today's ABP-450. The FDA asked for a study able to detect meaningful differences. More evidence may be needed after the full package is reviewed. AEON plans to send that package in 2027 and does not plan a separate comparison study now. The minutes also trigger the milestone warrants' expiration on November 16 unless exercised. That is a financing detail, not an FDA finding that ABP-450 is similar to Botox.
