About this study

This study is a five-year, multi-center, non-randomized, non-controlled post-approval study designed to follow a total of 1000 consecutive qualified and consenting subjects treated with ArteFill® in the course of clinical practice at approximately twenty-five centers and all subjects must have a previously documented negative skin test prior to receiving treatment. The incidence of granuloma formation will be monitored.

Read the detailed description

This study is a multi-center, non-randomized, non-controlled post-approval study designed to follow a total of 1000 consecutive qualified and consenting subjects treated with ArteFill® in the course of clinical practice at approximately twenty-five centers. All potential qualifying subjects at a given site should be given the opportunity to participate in the study. Inclusion and exclusion criteria will be limited to those in the approved labeling for ArteFill® and treatment will be according to the approved product labeling. Subjects must have a previously documented negative skin test prior to treatment. Follow-up for subject-reported potential adverse events and satisfaction data will be by mail or telephone questionnaire survey every six months for the first two years after the final treatment session and then every year for a total of five years of follow-up. The subject will be contacted by his or her investigator if a problem is identified in the questionnaire response as reviewed by the Sponsor or their designee. Potential adverse events reported in the follow-up questionnaires will be investigated further by means of office visits, as necessary, or via telephone.

Adverse events will be confirmed and reported by the investigators. If an adverse event is determined by the investigator to possibly be a granuloma, it will be investigated via histology. If a subject for whom an adverse event is reported has received additional aesthetic or non-aesthetic treatment to the affected area, available information on such treatment will be collected and the subject will be continued to be followed per protocol. Such subjects will not be excluded from the analysis, but will be evaluated separately. Effectiveness data will be collected during the study and will consist of the subject's assessment of satisfaction with treatment.

ArteFillOtherThis post-approval study will evaluate the continuing safety of ArteFill® as an injectable implant for correction of nasolabial folds over the course of five years post implantation, with a focus on determining the incidence of granuloma formation. Incidence of adverse events and subject satisfaction with respect to the subject's personal expectations will be assessed.
Receives: Device: ArteFill

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of granuloma formation.

    To determine the incidence of granuloma formation.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Incidence of unanticipated adverse events

    Safety will be assessed based on the incidence of serious unanticipated adverse events. Unanticipated adverse events will be characterized by the severity and relation to the implant product.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Incidence of anticipated adverse events

    The incidence of anticipated adverse events will be assessed at each follow-up visit.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assess of subject satisfaction

    Subjects assessed their satisfaction using the 5-point Likert Scale Subject Satisfaction Assessment Scale. This scale has the following measurements: 1- Very Satisfied, 2=Satisfied, 3=Somewhat Satisfied, 4= Dissatisfied and 5=Very Dissatisfied.

    Measured: 5 years
