• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1/PHASE2

Brief Summary

This study is a Phase Ib/II clinical study. Phase 1b was a single-center, nonrandomized, single-arm study to evaluate the safety, PK profile, preliminary efficacy, and immunogenicity of different groups (SC) of CU-20401 in the submental fat accumulation population. Phase 2 is a multicenter, randomized, placebo parallel-controlled study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of the preferred group (SC) of CU-20401 in a submental fat accumulation population.

Detailed Description

Eligible subjects will first enter Arm A1, receive treatment for this group on D1, and undergo study visits and biological sample collection (PK samples and immunogenicity samples) at established timepoints. After the last subject in Arm A1 has completed at least 3 days of safety and tolerability observation,After no safety events (≥ Grade 2 study drug-related AEs) have occurred as assessed by the investigator, enrollment into the A2 Arm may be initiated. Enrollment in subsequent treatment groups and so on. If a subject in this dose group experiences an AE ≥ Grade 2 related to the investigational product, the investigator will assess the time to continue observation and start the next treatment group according to the subject ' s condition.

Based on the data obtained in Phase 1b, the grouping for Phase 2 will be determined by the investigator and the sponsor in consultation. It may be Group X1, Group X2, and Group X3. Eligible subjects were randomized 1: 1: 1: 1 to receive treatment in Group X1, X2, X3, or placebo on D1 and to undergo study visits and biological sample collection (immunogenicity samples) at established timepoints.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Fully understand the trial contents, study process and possible adverse reactions, be able to complete the study in accordance with the protocol requirements, have reasonable expectations for the cosmetic effect of injection, and voluntarily sign the informed consent form;

2. Men or women aged 18 to 65 years (including boundary values) at screening;

3. Body mass index (BMI) was in the range of 17-40 (kg/m2) (including cut-off value) at screening;

4. At screening, the investigator assessed moderate to severe submental outline protrusion due to submental fat accumulation according to the clinician-reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS) (see Annex 1), i.e., those with a score of 2 to 3 points;

5. Non-pregnant and lactating women, and subjects (including males and females) have no pregnancy plan and voluntarily take effective contraceptive measures at screening and throughout the trial, and have no sperm or egg donation plans.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Subjects who have received prior surgery, liposuction therapy, or injection of lipolytic drugs similar to the investigational drug (e.g., phosphatidylcholine, etc.) at the submental site;

2. Those who have received biomaterial fillings (e.g., hyaluronic acid, collagen, etc.) in the neck or chin before screening;

3. Those who have received botulinum toxin injection in the neck or submental area within 3 months prior to screening, or have received noninvasive skin tightening therapy;

4. Planned to undergo cosmetic procedures at the submental site during the study, including, but not limited to, dermal filling, surgical wrinkle removal, photoelectric therapy, water light needles, microneedles, chemical peeling, or scar removal surgery, etc.;

5. Enlargement of the submental area due to other causes of excess non-submental fat accumulation (e.g., goiter, lymphadenopathy, Madelong's disease, platysma protrusion at rest, etc.) or affect the investigator's assessment of submental fat;

6. Those with obvious scars, infections, cancerous or precancerous lesions and/or unresolved wounds, retrognathia, etc. in the chin and neck position, which may affect the evaluation results as assessed by the investigator;

7. According to the investigator's judgment, submental fat dissolution can cause submental skin relaxation (SMSLG) of Grade 4 or other anatomical features (e.g., protrusion of fat under the platysma, extreme skin relaxation of the neck or submental area, protrusion of the platysma band), resulting in unacceptable cosmetic results;
