About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of a Non-Invasive Disruption of Fat and Skin Tightening Using 1064nm and 940nm Wavelengths

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the safety and pre-cursors of efficacy of a non-invasive 1064nm laser and 940nm diode, for the disruption of subcutaneous adipose tissue and skin tightening.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the biopsies is to assess if the device causes an inflammatory response in the abdominoplasty tissue that will be excised.

Being tested
1064nm Laser, 940nm Laser

What participants receive

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

  • 1064nm LaserDevice

    Patient will be treated with 1064nm Laser prior to abdominoplasty

  • 940nm LaserDevice

    Patient will be treated with 940nm Laser prior to abdominoplasty

1064nm laser Treatment Before AbdominoplastyExperimentalPatient will be treated with 1064nm Laser prior to abdominoplasty
Receives: Device: 1064nm Laser
940nm Laser Treatment Before AbdominoplastyExperimentalPatient will be treated with 940nm Laser prior to abdominoplasty
Receives: Device: 940nm Laser

What is being measured

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

  1. Biopsy of Tissue Sample as a Measure of Effectiveness

    Biopsy of treated area will be obtained up to 6 months post treatment and will be histologically assessed for changes in adipocytes, collagen and surrounding tissue to determine effectiveness of device

    Measured: 6 months post treatment

  2. Ultrasound Measurement to Evaluate Reduction of Fat

    Ultrasound of the treatment area will be performed and evaluated in comparison to the baseline results to determine reduction of fat

    Measured: 6 months post treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. High Frequency Ultrasound to Measure Skin Elasticity and Thickness

    High frequency ultrasound of the treatment area will be performed and evaluated in comparison to baseline results to measure changes in skin elasticity and skin thickness.

    Measured: 6 months post last treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 1064nm Laser and 940nm Laser in people with Subcutaneous Fat, run by Cynosure, Inc. 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 6 inclusion and 12 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 27 Oct 2020. 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.

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?

Biopsy of Tissue Sample as a Measure of Effectiveness (time frame: 6 months post treatment). 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?
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 Oct 2020.
