About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Evaluator-Blind, Multi-Center, Comparison of the Efficacy and Persistence of Correction of Nasolabial Folds With Restylane® Using Two Different Re-Treatment Schedules

A total of 75 subjects will be enrolled into a 36 month study. Subjects will be treated with Restylane® on both sides of the face (nasolabial folds) at the first visit, on one side of the face at month 4.5 and on the other side of the face at month 9. Both sides of the face will then be treated again at month 18. The subjects will evaluate themselves and will also be evaluated by the treating doctor and a blinded evaluator (a person that does not know when the different sides of the face are treated). Side effects and medications taken during the study will also be recorded.

Read the detailed description

The study will employ a randomized, evaluator-blind design. One of the nasolabial folds will be randomly assigned to be corrected with Restylane and then re-treated at 4 ½ months. The opposite side will be treated with Restylane and not re-treated until 9 months. Both nasolabial folds will be re-treated at 18 months. Each subject will serve as their own control, allowing comparison of the outcome between the contralateral sides.

This is a multi-center U.S. trial with a planned enrollment of 75 subjects at three centers. The goal of the study is to enroll and complete follow-up for 60 evaluable subjects. In order to compensate for early discontinuations, a total of at least 75 subjects will be recruited and treated.

After giving written informed consent, potential study participants will undergo a screening evaluation and initial treatment (Visit 1). The two nasolabial folds will be randomized for treatment so that one side will be designated for re-treatment with Restylane at 4 ½ months; the other at 9 months. At month 18 (Visit 7) both nasolabial folds will be re-treated. Follow-up visits will be scheduled through 36 months after initial treatment or touch-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Restylane in people with Rhytids, run by Medicis Aesthetics, Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Blinded Evaluator Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) scores at month 18. (time frame: 18 months). 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 Sep 2011.
