Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Radiesse® Dermal Filler for Hand Treatment (NCT NCT01832090)

NCT ID: NCT01832090

Last Updated: 2017-10-19

Results Overview

To evaluate the efficacy of Radiesse for hand treatment as measured by a mean change on the 5-point Merz Hand Grading Scale (MHGS) between baseline and 3 months, by hand, among treated subjects and untreated controls. A measure of successful or improved treatment effect is demonstrated by a decrease in MHGS score. MHGS categories are as follows: 0 = no loss of fatty tissue; 1 = mild loss of fatty tissue; slight visibility of veins; 3 = moderate loss of fatty tissue; mild visibility of veins and tendons; 4 = severe loss of fatty tissue; moderate visibility of veins and tendons; and 5 = very severe loss of fatty tissue; marked visibility of veins and tendons.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months from baseline

Population: All primary effectiveness analyses were performed based on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. This population includes all subjects randomized. One subject was randomized but did not receive treatment and was imputed as "No change" for the primary endpoint.

To evaluate the efficacy of Radiesse for hand treatment as measured by a mean change on the 5-point Merz Hand Grading Scale (MHGS) between baseline and 3 months, by hand, among treated subjects and untreated controls. A measure of successful or improved treatment effect is demonstrated by a decrease in MHGS score. MHGS categories are as follows: 0 = no loss of fatty tissue; 1 = mild loss of fatty tissue; slight visibility of veins; 3 = moderate loss of fatty tissue; mild visibility of veins and tendons; 4 = severe loss of fatty tissue; moderate visibility of veins and tendons; and 5 = very severe loss of fatty tissue; marked visibility of veins and tendons.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3, 6, 9, and 12 months from baseline

Population: Single withdrawn subject did not receive treatment and is not included in this analysis.

To evaluate the efficacy of Radiesse for hand treatment as measured by mean change on the 5-point Merz Hand Grading Scale (MHGS) between baseline and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, by hand, among all treated subjects without retreatment. A measure of successful or improved treatment effect is demonstrated by a decrease in MHGS score. MHGS categories are as follows: 0 = no loss of fatty tissue; 1 = mild loss of fatty tissue; slight visibility of veins; 3 = moderate loss of fatty tissue; mild visibility of veins and tendons; 4 = severe loss of fatty tissue; moderate visibility of veins and tendons; and 5 = very severe loss of fatty tissue; marked visibility of veins and tendons.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3, 6, 9, and 12 months from baseline

Population: Single withdrawn subject did not receive treatment and is not included in this analysis.

To evaluate the efficacy of Radiesse for hand treatment as measured by mean change on the 5-point Merz Hand Grading Scale (MHGS) between baseline and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, by hand, among all treated subjects receiving retreatment. A measure of successful or improved treatment effect is demonstrated by a decrease in MHGS score. MHGS categories are as follows: 0 = no loss of fatty tissue; 1 = mild loss of fatty tissue; slight visibility of veins; 3 = moderate loss of fatty tissue; mild visibility of veins and tendons; 4 = severe loss of fatty tissue; moderate visibility of veins and tendons; and 5 = very severe loss of fatty tissue; marked visibility of veins and tendons.
