About this study

Platelets are a component of blood, which contain factors which can enhance wound healing. This study proposes to evaluate the clinical response of laugh lines treated with a concentrated preparation of the subject's own platelets injected into or under the skin by taking serial photographs of the subject's face over a 12 week period. Also, the same preparation will be injected into or under the skin of the arm near the elbows, and serial biopsies will be taken over a 12 week period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in Wrinkle Assessment Score, Between Pre-treatment and 12 Weeks Post-treatment.

    Difference in wrinkle assessment score, values ranging from 0 (least noticeable) to 5 ( most noticeable) (scores on a scale)between pre-treatment and 12 weeks post-treatment.

    Measured: Difference in Measurements taken Pre-treatment and 12 weeks after treatment.

Secondary outcomes (3)

    Measured: pre-treatment to 1 week after treatment

  2. Difference in Wrinkle Assessment Score Between Pretreatment and 2 Weeks

    Difference in Wrinkle Assessment Scores, values ranging from 0 (least noticeable) to 5 ( most noticeable) (scores on a scale), between Pre-treatment and 2 weeks

    Measured: Pre-treatment to 2 weeks after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Platelet rich fibrin matrix in people with Nasolabial Folds, run by The New York Eye & Ear Infirmary at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 12 Jul 2013. 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 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jul 2013). 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?

Difference in Wrinkle Assessment Score, Between Pre-treatment and 12 Weeks Post-treatment. (time frame: Difference in Measurements taken Pre-treatment and 12 weeks after treatment.). 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 NCT00874094, 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 12 Jul 2013.
