About this study

Official title: Phase IV, Randomized, Double-blind Study on Muscle Activity of Two Commercial Preparations of Botulinum Toxin Type A (Dysport and Xeomin) Administered to the Upper Third of the Face (Forehead Lines).

this study was proposed to provide more scientific and objective data on the clinical and aesthetic effects of these two toxins (Dysport and Xeomin).

Read the detailed description

Subjects will perform 6 (six) visits during the study:

Screening visit, performed 30 to 1 day before the visit 1, when eligible subjects will be recruited and first evaluations will be performed; visit 1, which is the baseline and when the injections will be performed; visit 2, 30 +/- 3 days after the injections, when evaluations will be performed; visit 3, 90 +/- 3 days after the injections, when evaluations will be performed; 4, 120 +/- 3 days after the injections, when evaluations will be performed; visit 5, 150 +/- 3 days after the injections, when evaluations will be performed.

Assessment of percentage (%) of responders, after 5 months of injection, to the effects of two BT-A preparations, Dysport® and Xeomin®, by measuring frontalis m. wrinkle intensity at maximum contraction, as measured by visual Wrinkles Severity Scale (WSS).

What participants receive

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

  • DysportDrug

    Also called botulinum toxin type A

    Dysport® was injected on the right side of the forehead and Xeomin® was injected on the left side of the forehead.

  • XeominDrug

    Also called botulinum toxin type A

    Xeomin® was injected on the right side of the forehead and Dysport® was injected on the left side of the forehead

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Responders After 5 Months After the Procedure

    Percentage (%) of responders, after 5 months of injection, to the effects of two botulinum toxin type A (BT-A), Dysport® and Xeomin®. Responders were defined as individuals who presented at least 1 score less in the Wrinkles Scale Score (WSS) at maximum contraction compared to the WSS score at baseline.

    WSS is a validated 4-point scale, at rest and at maximum voluntary contraction of the frontalis muscle, in which 0 means no wrinkles up to 3 which means sever wrinkles.

    Measured: 5 months after intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Maximum Evoked Compound Muscle Action Potential

    To evaluate the duration, magnitude and peak of effects of two BT-A preparations, by measuring of the maximum Evoked Compound Muscle Action Potentials after contraction.

    Measured: 5 months after the procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dysport and Xeomin in people with Sun-induced Wrinkles, run by Hexsel Dermatology Clinic at 1 site in Brazil.

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 12 inclusion and 15 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 26 Jul 2019. 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 Brazil. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Aug 2014). 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?

Percentage of Responders After 5 Months After the Procedure (time frame: 5 months after intervention). 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 26 Jul 2019.
