About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Multi-Centre, Randomised, Double-blind, Dose-Ranging Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of a Single Treatment With 15, 30 or 45 Units (Per Eye) of Dysport to Placebo in the Symptomatic Treatment of Lateral Canthal Lines (Crow's Feet)

Despite the wealth of information in the literature regarding the cosmetic applications of botulinum type A toxin (BoNT-A), and the widespread use of the BoNT-A for cosmetic applications, the number of randomised, controlled clinical trials is small. Much of the published information is based on open-label studies or anecdotal data. Of the robust trial data that is available, the vast majority relates to the treatment of glabellar lines, and there is little data available regarding the use of BoNT-A in lateral canthal lines. This study aims to determine the optimum dose for the use of BoNT-A in this area.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Botulinum toxin type A in people with Lateral Canthal Lines, run by Ipsen at 9 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in France, Germany, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in severity of crow's feet at maximum smile at week 4, compared to baseline, assessed photographically by independent panel. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Nov 2019.
