About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical utility of the ArteFill® pre-treatment Skin Test in predicting and preventing hypersensitivity reactions to treatment with ArteFill® implant

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, open-label study in approximately 485 healthy male and female subjects to obtain 450 evaluable subjects. In this protocol, an ArteFill® Skin Test study will be conducted to evaluate the test's clinical utility to determine the incidence of positive skin reactions to ArteFill®. The results of this skin test study will determine if the risk of a hypersensitivity reaction against ArteFill® without a skin test is no greater than the published historical risk of a hypersensitivity reaction against a Zyderm or Zyplast treatment after a patient demonstrates a negative response to a single Zyderm skin test. Based on prior clinical experience with ArteFill® implant in commercial use outside the United States, it is anticipated that no reactions will be observed. As such, it may be suggested that there is no practical use of the ArteFill® Skin Test for screening patients, and therefore, the test may be eliminated as a requirement prior to treatment with the ArteFill® product as is the clinical practice outside the United States.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ArteFill® Skin TestDevice

    Subjects will receive the ArteFill® Skin Test at Visit 1, Day 0 on the volar forearm. After 30 days, if the test result is negative a second skin test will be administered on the contra volar forearm at Visit, 3, Day 30.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Open Label Single ArmOtherAll enrolled subjects will have a skin test composed of Bovine Collagen and Lidocaine.
Receives: Device: ArteFill® Skin Test

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety will be assessed by determination of a positive hypersensitivity reaction to the skin test and collection of adverse events.

    Measured: 60 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. In addition to the primary outcome measure, to assist in assessing the etiology of the reaction, the immune response to the skin test in subjects with positive skin test will be evaluated by measuring serum antibody levels against bovine collagen.

    Measured: 60 days

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Closed incomplete due to Artes Medical Closing). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Safety will be assessed by determination of a positive hypersensitivity reaction to the skin test and collection of adverse events. (time frame: 60 days). 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 27 Sep 2019.
