Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of Azzalure/Dysport, Restylane/Emervel Filler and Restylane Skinbooster Treatment (NCT NCT02297516)

NCT ID: NCT02297516

Last Updated: 2022-10-14

Results Overview

Percentage of subjects showing superior global facial aesthetic appearance at month 7 compared to month 1. Assessment of global facial aesthetic appearance was based on blinded evaluations of subject's youthful appearance (e.g. lack of facial volume loss, lack of static wrinkles and fine lines, good skin quality, and satisfactory result after aesthetic treatment). The blinded evaluators retrospectively reviewed photographs from visit for each subject and answered the following question: "At which set of photographs does the subject show superior global facial aesthetic appearance?".

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 7 months

Population: One subject in Group A was excluded from the analysis due to the wrong photographs being used in the evaluation.

Percentage of subjects showing superior global facial aesthetic appearance at month 7 compared to month 1. Assessment of global facial aesthetic appearance was based on blinded evaluations of subject's youthful appearance (e.g. lack of facial volume loss, lack of static wrinkles and fine lines, good skin quality, and satisfactory result after aesthetic treatment). The blinded evaluators retrospectively reviewed photographs from visit for each subject and answered the following question: "At which set of photographs does the subject show superior global facial aesthetic appearance?".

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1, 7 and 13 months

Population: Six subjects that were assessed differently by all three evaluators were excluded from the analysis. In addition, one subject was excluded from the analysis due to wrong photographs at Month 1.

Subjects showing superior "Global facial aesthetic appearance" at 1, 7 and 13 months. Assessment of global facial aesthetic appearance was based on blinded evaluations of subject's youthful appearance (e.g. lack of facial volume loss, lack of static wrinkles and fine lines, good skin quality, and satisfactory result after aesthetic treatment). The blinded evaluators retrospectively reviewed photographs from visit for each subject and answered the following question: "At which set of photographs does the subject show superior global facial aesthetic appearance?".

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1, 7, and 13 months

Population: Number of analyzed subjects varied over time due to drop-outs from study. Data not presented "Per Arm", since statistical analysis was only performed on both groups combined after the combination treatments (since the groups receive the exact same treatment during the combination treatment).

The 5-graded GAIS was used to assess the facial aesthetic improvement from Baseline by responding to the question: "How would you describe the subject's global facial aesthetic appearance compared to the photographs taken before treatment at Baseline?". The following rating was used: Very much improved, Much improved, Somewhat improved, No change, or Worse. Criteria for improvement met for those subjects that were assessed as Very much improved, Much improved, or Somewhat improved. GAIS score was assessed by three blinded evaluators at Months 1, 7, and 13 (1 month after single treatment, 1 month after first combined treatment, and 1 month after second combined treatment). The blinded evaluators performed the evaluations retrospectively using 2D-photographs from each follow-up visit and from Baseline (Visit 1).

Population: Number of analyzed subjects varied over time due to drop-outs from study.

The subjects were asked to answer the question "How satisfied are you today with the appearance of your face?" with "Very/somewhat satisfied", "Neither/nor", or "Very/somewhat dissatisfied". Satisfied criteria is fulfilled for those subjects that answered ""Very/somewhat satisfied".

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 7 and 13 months

Population: Number of analyzed subjects was reduced over time due to drop-out of study subjects.

The wrinkle severity of the Azzalure/Dysport treated glabellar lines at maximum frown was evaluated by the Investigator. A validated 5-graded photonumeric grading scale was used, where each severity grade was illustrated by a set of photographs. 0 = No glabella lines 1. = Mild glabella lines 2. = Moderate glabella lines 3. = Severe glabella lines 4. = Very severe glabella lines Improvement means going from higher score to lower score.
