Trial summary

The purpose of this study was to determine whether light emitting diode (LED) therapy can improve skin appearance of human subjects with aged/photoaged skin. A reduction in rhytid depth as well as in skin surface roughness and in the degree of elastosis after LED treatments was expected. Read more about this study

What is being measured

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

Percent Change From Baseline in Microtopographic Profilometry Ra Values (Skin Roughness).
Phaseshift Rapid In vivo Measurement Of Skin (PRIMOS) readings. Analysis of the data in the image is used to generate Microtopographic profilometry Ra values (skin surface roughness).
Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks
Percent Change From Baseline in Microtopographic Profilometry Rz Values (Rhytid Depth and Severity.
Phaseshift Rapid In vivo Measurement Of Skin (PRIMOS) readings. Analysis of the data in the image is used to generate Microtopographic profilometry Rz values (peak to valley analysis) to quantify rhytid depth and severity.
Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)

Change From Baseline in Units on the Fitzpatrick Classification System (FCS) Scale for Degree of Wrinkling.
Clinical qualitative assessment was performed by three blinded medical observers through the evaluation of digital photographs. The photographs were analyzed for clinical improvement using the Fitzpatrick Classification System (FCS)subtype scale for degree of wrinkling (rhytids). Their assessment was rated on a five-point scale and scored as follows; 0=none; 1=mild; 2=moderate; 3=good; 4=excellent.
Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks
Number of Adverse Events.
Signs of erythema, edema, scaling/crusting, bronzing, textural changes, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation were monitored.
Measured: Adverse reactions were monitored throughout the study and up to 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing LumiPhase-R™, OPUSMED Inc. Montreal, Canada in people with Skin Aging and Photoaging of Skin, run by RoseLab Skin Optics Laboratory at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 16 Nov 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Nov 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percent Change From Baseline in Microtopographic Profilometry Ra Values (Skin Roughness). (time frame: Baseline and 4 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00818246, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Nov 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
