Dr Ron Law, PhD, JD, principal executive officer of BioSpecifics, said, 'Throughout the second quarter of 2019, the team at BioSpecifics has been focused on continued internal execution and the clinical progression of our CCH development pipeline and the commercial development of our XIAFLEX franchise. Following positive Phase 1 uterine fibroids data, we are working to develop a clinical path forward for this medically necessary indication, and as we further evaluate and analyse this data, we plan to present it in the second half of this year. We are encouraged by the continued emphasis from our partner, Endo, on the importance of patient awareness and future growth initiatives for both of our commercial indications for XIAFLEX, Peyronie's Disease and Dupuytren's Contracture. We also look forward to adding a potential third marketed indication, with an upcoming BLA filing for the treatment of cellulite, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2019.'
