Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of Deoxycholic Acid Injection (ATX-101) in the Reduction of Submental Fat (NCT NCT01305577)

NCT ID: NCT01305577

Last Updated: 2015-07-14

Results Overview

A CR-SMFRS response is defined as at least a 1-point improvement (i.e. 1-point reduction) from Baseline 12 weeks after the last treatment. The CR-SMFRS score is based on the investigator's clinical evaluation of the participant, where submental fullness is scored on a 5-point ordinal scale (0-4) with 0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, and 4 = extreme.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks after last treatment (up to 24 weeks after first dose)

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) population, which consisted of all randomized participants who had at least one efficacy assessment (CR-SMFRS or Subject Self Rating Scale) at Baseline. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data.

A CR-SMFRS response is defined as at least a 1-point improvement (i.e. 1-point reduction) from Baseline 12 weeks after the last treatment. The CR-SMFRS score is based on the investigator's clinical evaluation of the participant, where submental fullness is scored on a 5-point ordinal scale (0-4) with 0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, and 4 = extreme.

A SSRS response is defined as an SSRS score that is 4 or greater 12 weeks after the last treatment. The SSRS assesses participant's satisfaction with their appearance in association with the face and chin on a 7-point scale from 0 to 6: where 0 = Extremely dissatisfied, 1 = Dissatisfied, 2 = Slightly dissatisfied, 3 = Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, 4 = Slightly satisfied, 5 = Satisfied and 6 = Extremely satisfied.

The PR-SMFRS is based on the participant's response to the question "How much fat do you currently have under your chin?" answered on a 5-point ordinal scale (0-4) with 0 = no chin fat at all, 1 = a slight amount of chin fat, 2 = a moderate amount of chin fat, 3 = a large amount of chin fat, and 4 = a very large amount of chin fat. Improvement is defined as any decrease in score and worsened as any increase in score.

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks after last treatment (up to 24 weeks after first dose)

Population: Intent-to-treat population with available data

Self-rating of attractiveness assesses aspects of appearance from the participant's perspective by a series of 6 questions: How attractive do you think your overall appearance (chin/neck, eyes, nose, mouth, entire face) is/are?" Each question was answered on a scale from 1 to 9 where 1 = Not at all attractive, 5 = Neither attractive nor unattractive and 9 = Extremely attractive. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.
