Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study To Assess the Safety and Effects of OnabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX) Intramuscular Injection in Adult Participants With Platysma Prominence (NCT NCT04994535)

NCT ID: NCT04994535

Participant Flow

A total of 426 participants were enrolled and randomized into the study (ITT Population); 209 to BOTOX and 217 to placebo. A total of 208 participants were treated with BOTOX and 216 participants were treated with placebo (Safety Analysis Set). A total of 381 participants were included in the modified ITT (mITT) Population; 186 to BOTOX and 195 to placebo. A participant was considered to have completed the study if he/she had at least completed the treatment visit and the end of study visit.

The ITT Population included all randomized participants; the mITT Population included all randomized participants with a baseline summary score ≥ 19 on the ANLFQ: Impacts questionnaire. The Safety Analysis Set included all participants who were treated with at least 1 dose of study drug.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 14

Population: The intent-to-treat (ITT) population consisted of all randomized participants. Responder rate and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated after using multiple imputation for missing data.

The Clinician Allergan Platysma Prominence Scale (C-APPS) evaluates platysma prominence severity and is a static measurement encompassing the investigator's visual examination of the platysma muscle at maximum contraction, ranging from 1 - Minimal to 5- Extreme. The Participant Allergan Platysma Prominence Scale (P-APPS) evaluates platysma prominence severity and is a single-item measure that is accompanied by a 5-grade photonumeric scale for participants to self-assess the severity of their platysma prominence at maximum contraction, ranging from 1 - Minimal to 5 - Extreme.

Population: The intent-to-treat (ITT) population consisted of all randomized participants. Least squares mean, its standard error (SE), and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated after using multiple imputation for missing data.

The ANLFQ: Impacts scale assesses the psychosocial impact due to the appearance of the neck and lower face. All items are rated on a 5-point Verbal Descriptor Scale ranging from 1 (Never) to 5 (All of the time), with higher summary scores (range: 7-35) indicating greater negative psychosocial impact from the appearance of the neck and lower face. For change from baseline in the ANLFQ: Impacts summary score, positive values indicate worsening and negative values indicate improvement in the psychosocial impact.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Days 30, 60, and 90

Population: The modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population consisted of all randomized participants with a baseline summary score of ≥ 19 for the ANLFQ: Impacts questionnaire. Least squares mean, its standard error (SE), and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated after using multiple imputation for missing data.

The ANLFQ: Impacts scale assesses the psychosocial impact of the appearance of the neck and lower face. All items are rated on a 5-point Verbal Descriptor Scale ranging from 1 (Never) to 5 (All of the time), with higher scores indicating greater negative impact from the appearance of the neck and lower face.
