What is being measured

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

  1. Cohort 1: Frequency, severity, seriousness and causal relationship of AEs

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  2. Cohort 1: Local tolerability assessment based on presence and intensity of erythema, swelling and skin hardening

    5-grade scale ranging from 0 (absent), over 1 (minimal), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), to 4 (severe)

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  3. Cohort 2: Improvement of at least 1 point on the Nasolabial Folds Severity Rating Scale (NLF-SRS) based on investigator's live assessment

    Scale from 0 (=none/ minimal) to 4 (= extreme)

    Measured: Week 12 compared to baseline

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Cohort 2: Response rate based on investigator's assessment of Nasolabial Folds Severity Rating Scale (NLF-SRS)

    Scale from 0 (=none/ minimal) to 4 (= extreme)

    Measured: Week 4, 24, 36 and 52 compared to baseline

  2. Cohort 2: Gloabl aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) determined by the investigator

    global aesthetic improvement rated as 'very much improved', 'much improved', 'improved', 'no change' or 'worse'

    Measured: Week 4, 12, 24, 36 and 52 compared to baseline

  3. Cohort 2: Gloabl aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) determined by the subject

    global aesthetic improvement rated as 'very much improved', 'much improved', 'improved', 'no change' or 'worse'

    Measured: Week 4, 12, 24, 36 and 52 compared to baseline

  4. Cohort 2: Subject satisfaction based on Face-Q questionnaire "Satisfaction with Outcome" Scale

    Measured: Week 4, 12, 24, 36 and 52 compared to baseline

  5. Cohort 2: Response rate based on blinded photographic reviewer's assessment of Nasolabial Folds Severity Rating Scale (NLF-SRS)

    Scale from 0 (=none/ minimal) to 4 (= extreme)

    Measured: Week 4, 12, 24, 36 and 52 compared to baseline

  6. Cohort 2: Response rate based on investigator's assessment of Nasolabial Folds Severity Rating Scale (NLF-SRS)

    Scale from 0 (=none/ minimal) to 4 (= extreme)

    Measured: Week 4, 12, 24, 36 and 52 compared to baseline

  7. Cohort 2: Mean pain intensity score using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

    11-point scale ranging from 0 (= no pain) to 10 (=worst pain imaginable)

    Measured: Immediately after administration and 15 minutes after treatment

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?

Cohort 1: Frequency, severity, seriousness and causal relationship of AEs (time frame: Up to 4 weeks). The study lists 3 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?
