About this study

Prospective, multi-site, non-randomized study of up to 40 treated subjects; subjects enrolled may be greater than subjects treated.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be enrolled to ensure a minimum number of subjects by skin type participate in the study as follows: FST I-II, at least 5 subjects; FST III, at least 10 subjects; FST IV, at least 5 subjects. Additionally, up to 20 training subjects will be enrolled that will be excluded from efficacy analysis, but will be included in safety analysis.

Standardized baseline and follow-up images will be taken using the sites' preferred camera system. No pre-treatment medication prior to study treatment.

Phase I: Study subjects will receive up to three treatments with the PicoPlus with the 595nm on one hand and the 660nm on the other hand. Subjects will receive the same wavelength for all treatments on each specific hand; treatments will alternate by subjects between the left side getting treated with the 595nm and the right side getting treated with the 660nm depending on enrollment. Treatments will be 30+7 days apart up to three treatments until desired clearance has been achieved.

Phase II: Up to 2 balancing treatments may be done if needed based on the investigator's discretion to achieve equal clearance on each hand utilizing the wavelength of the investigator's choice. Phase II will not be considered for efficacy endpoints.

What participants receive

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

  • PicoPlusDevice

    The PICOPLUS Laser System (K173700) is indicated for use in surgical and aesthetic applications in the medical specialties of dermatology and general and plastic surgery. The 595nm and 660nm wavelengths of the Lutronic PicoPlus Laser system are used for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pigmentary Clearance

    Percentage of pigmentary clearance by each wavelength in standard photographs from the 30-day visit post the last treatment in Phase I of the study using a score of 0-4, representing poor 0-24%, fair 25-49%, good 50-74%, excellent 75-95%, and complete 95%+ improvement was given at the day 30 follow-up visit post the last treatment as determined by three blinded physician evaluators comparing the baseline vs 30-day follow-up visit photographs.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinician Global Aesthetic Scale

    The Principal Investigator, sub-investigator or qualified clinician delegated by the principal investigator, will complete a Clinician Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale assessing overall aesthetic improvement by wavelength at the 30-day visit following the last treatment visit for Phase I of the study. Scale ranging 1-Very Much Improved and 5-Worse.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Subject Global Aesthetic Scale

    1. The subject will complete a SGAIS assessing overall aesthetic improvement by wavelength at the 30-day visit following the last treatment visit for Phase I of the study. Scale Ranging 1-Very Much Improved and 5-Worse.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PicoPlus in people with Benign Pigmented Lesions, run by CynosureLutronic 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 12 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 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. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Pigmentary Clearance (time frame: 30 days). 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 24 Dec 2019.
