Trial summary

This research study will test how well a light therapy mask works for women with mild to moderate hyperpigmentation (brown spots) and moderate to severe facial wrinkles, as compared to a "sham" or inactive investigational light therapy mask. The study will also test if the light therapy mask causes any irritation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Evaluator-Blinded Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Tolerability of an Investigational Light Therapy Mask on Subjects With Mild to Moderate Mottled Hyperpigmentation and Moderate to Severe Facial Wrinkles

This research study will test how well a light therapy mask works for women with mild to moderate hyperpigmentation (brown spots) and moderate to severe facial wrinkles, as compared to a "sham" or inactive investigational light therapy mask. The study will also test if the light therapy mask causes any irritation. For the first 12 weeks of the study, participants will use the assigned mask, along with a provided cleanser and sunscreen. For the second 12 weeks of the study, participants will use just the cleanser and sunscreen.

Read the detailed description

Exposure to sunlight and artificial light sources containing ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to accelerate the skin's aging process, resulting in unwanted wrinkles, irregular skin tone, and loss of elasticity. Ablative techniques, such as dermabrasion, deep chemical peels, and ablative laser resurfacing of various wavelengths, are well documented to alleviate the signs of photodamage. However, such techniques often require significant post-treatment care and have higher risk profiles than other treatments, with potential side effects including erythema, pigmentation issues, infection, and possible scarring. They may be poorly tolerated by patients who dislike the discomfort, wound care, and prolonged downtime involved.

Non-ablative skin rejuvenation procedures are also effective for improving the appearance of photodamaged skin and are becoming increasingly popular because of their minimal downtime and increased safety. These procedures include intense pulsed light systems, non-ablative lasers, and monochromatic light boxes, which can target facial rhytids, irregular pigmentation, telangiectasia, and skin laxity. Unfortunately, such techniques can be expensive and their use is primarily limited to clinical settings.

However, the light-emitting diode (LED) is a novel light source that is well-suited for non-ablative phototherapy that can be utilized at home for a relatively low price. This study will evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of an LED-based light therapy mask as compared to a sham mask in subjects seeking anti-aging benefits.

What participants receive

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

  • Active MaskDevice

    Also called Active Light Therapy Mask

    A facial cleanser will be used twice daily (morning and evening). In the morning after washing, the moisturizer with SPF will be applied full-face. For the first 12 weeks of the study, the active light therapy mask will be used for 10 minutes in the evening after washing/drying the face. For the second 12 weeks of the study, mask usage will be discontinued.

  • Sham MaskDevice

    Also called Sham Light Therapy Mask

    A facial cleanser will be used twice daily (morning and evening). In the morning after washing, the moisturizer with SPF will be applied full-face. For the first 12 weeks of the study, the sham light therapy mask will be used for 10 minutes in the evening after washing/drying the face.

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Active Mask in people with Skin Aging, run by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. (J&JCI) 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 5 Mar 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 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. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Mar 2019). 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?

Global Wrinkling - Change From Baseline to Week 12, Averaged Expert Grader Scores (time frame: Baseline to Week 12). The study lists 4 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 NCT03312543, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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?
