Sculptra AestheticExperimentalParticipants who completed 48 weeks of Sculptra Aesthetic reconstituted with 8 milliliters (mL) of sterile water for injection (SWFI) in study 43USSA1705 (NCT03780244) were followed into this long-term extension study at Week 72 and Week 96 after baseline (i.e., Day 1/first treatment session with Sculptra Aesthetic in Study 43USSA1705 [NCT03780244]).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline on Both Sides of the Face as Assessed by the Evaluator Using the WAS at Weeks 72 and 96

    The WAS is a validated photograph-based outcome instrument that is designed specifically for quantifying facial folds. Scoring of NLF wrinkle severity (grades 0-5, with 0 representing no wrinkles and 5 representing very deep wrinkles, redundant fold) was based on visual live assessment by the Blinded Evaluator at defined timepoints. Lower scores indicate better outcome. Effectiveness is defined as change from baseline on both sides of the face using WAS at 72 and 96 weeks after the first treatment session. Baseline was defined as the observation that was closest to but prior to study treatment at the baseline visit/first treatment in Study 43USSA1705 (NCT03780244). Therefore, Weeks 72 and 96 in timeframe represents timepoints of current extension study and calculated from baseline of 43USSA1705 (NCT03780244).

    Measured: Baseline of study 43USSA1705 (NCT03780244), Weeks 72 and 96 (assessed in the current extension study)

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Number of Participants (Responders) Assessed Using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) Based on the Participants Live Assessment

    A responder was defined as a participant assessed as at least "Improved" (very much improved, much improved, and improved) on both sides of the face concurrently assessed using GAIS by participant. The 7-graded GAIS used by the participant to live assess the aesthetic improvement had responses as follows: (3) Very Much Improved, (2) Much Improved, (1) Improved, (0) No Change, (-1) Worse, (-2) Much Worse, and (-3) Very Much Worse. For reporting of outcomes, the higher the GAIS value, the greater the improvement (Range -3 to 3). Baseline was defined as the observation that was closest to but prior to study treatment at the baseline visit/first treatment in Study 43USSA1705 (NCT03780244). Therefore, Weeks 72 and 96 in timeframe represents timepoints of current extension study and calculated from baseline of 43USSA1705 (NCT03780244).

    Measured: At Weeks 72 and 96 (assessed in the current extension study)

  2. Number of Participants (Responders) Assessed Using the GAIS Based on the Investigator Live Assessment

    A responder was defined as a participant assessed as at least "Improved" (very much improved, much improved, and improved) on both sides of the face concurrently assessed using GAIS by investigator. The 7-graded GAIS used by the participant to live assess the aesthetic improvement had responses as follows: (3) Very Much Improved, (2) Much Improved, (1) Improved, (0) No Change, (-1) Worse, (-2) Much Worse, and (-3) Very Much Worse. For reporting of outcomes, the higher the GAIS value, the greater the improvement (Range -3 to 3). Baseline was defined as the observation that was closest to but prior to study treatment at the baseline visit/first treatment in Study 43USSA1705. (NCT03780244). Therefore, Weeks 72 and 96 in timeframe represents timepoints of current extension study and calculated from baseline of 43USSA1705 (NCT03780244).

    Measured: At Weeks 72 and 96 (assessed in the current extension study)

  3. FACE-Q™ Appraisal of Lines Rasch Transformed Total Scores: NLF Questionnaire

    FACE-Q™ appraisal of lines NLF scores were used to assess participant's treatment satisfaction. The sum of the participants FACE-Q™ appraisal of lines NLF scores was converted to a Rasch-transformed total score (ranged from 0 to 100) according to the FACE-Q™ manual; a higher total score indicated greater participant satisfaction. Baseline was defined as the observation that was closest to but prior to study treatment at the baseline visit/first treatment in Study 43USSA1705. (NCT03780244). Therefore, Weeks 72 and 96 in timeframe represents timepoints of current extension study and calculated from baseline of 43USSA1705 (NCT03780244).

    Measured: At Weeks 72 and 96 (assessed in the current extension study)

  4. Subject Satisfaction With Treatment: Would You Recommend the Treatment to a Friend?

    A subject satisfaction question with responses Yes or No. Baseline was defined as the observation that was closest to but prior to study treatment at the baseline visit/first treatment in Study 43USSA1705 (NCT03780244).

    Measured: At Weeks 72 and 96 (assessed in the current extension study)

  5. Subject Satisfaction With Treatment: Would You do the Treatment Again?

    A subject satisfaction question with responses Yes or No. Baseline was defined as the observation that was closest to but prior to study treatment at the baseline visit/first treatment in Study 43USSA1705 (NCT03780244).
