About this study

Official title: A Single Center, Randomized, Evaluator and Subject Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel, Phase 1/2 Study for the Anti-wrinkle Efficacy Assessment and Safety Evaluation by Treating Cluster of Autologous Dermal Fibroblasts, 3D-F in Patients With Bilateral Crow's Feet

This study is a phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of administering clusters of autologous dermal fibroblasts to subjects with periorbital wrinkles on both sides.

If subjects who have signed the Informed consent form voluntarily are enrolled in this study, they will be tested for eligibility during the screening period. Subjects will visit the study site a total of 6 times while participating in this study. The subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive a total of one dose of the IP (Visit 3). Then, the efficacy evaluation will be conducted at Visit 4 (Week 2), Visit 5 (Week 12), and Visit 6 (Week 24), and safety will also be evaluated at each visit.

Read the detailed description

This study is a phase 1/2 clinical trial in patients with periorbital wrinkles on both sides. The study consists of phase 1 to evaluate safety and phase 2 to evaluate efficacy.

  • Phase 1: Single center, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel design. If a subject voluntarily signs the written informed consent form to participate in this study, he/she will be enrolled as a subject after eligibility evaluation. After a single administration of the study drug to a subject, safety and efficacy will be evaluated at Week 2, Week 12, and Week 24 visits after administration.

If an adverse drug reaction of grade 3 or higher occurs in 3 subjects 2 weeks after administration of the study drug in the phase 1 study; if an adverse drug reaction occurs in 0/3 subjects, the phase 2 study will be conducted after completing the phase 1 study; if an adverse drug reaction occurs in 2/3 or more subjects, the study will be terminated; and if an adverse drug reaction occurs in 1/3 subjects, 3 additional subjects will be enrolled to proceed with the study. After the safety of subjects in the phase 1 study is confirmed by Week 12, the phase 2 study will be conducted.

  • Phase 2: Single center, randomized, subject- and assessor- blinded, placebo controlled, parallel design.

If safety is secured 12 weeks after administering the study drug in phase 1, phase 2 will be conducted.

Only the subjects that meet the final inclusion criteria will be assigned sequentially and recognized by the same procedure and will receive the study drug once.

Safety and efficacy will be evaluated at Week 2, Week 12, Week 24 after administration. All subjects will be tested on the same schedule.

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement rate of 2 points or more of IGA-LCL Wrinkle Severity

    After independent assessment of IGA-LCL (Investigator's Global Assessment of Lateral Canthal Lines) Wrinkle Severity of the subject's left/right crow's feet in the rest state assessed through photographs, the percentage of subjects who improved by 2 points or more on both sides compared to the baseline are presented by group

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Clusters of Autologous Dermal Fibroblasts in people with Crow's Feet, run by S.Biomedics Co., Ltd. at 1 site in South Korea.

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 11 inclusion and 23 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2025. 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 South Korea. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Contact Sarang Kim, Master's (8207022050023, info@sbiomedics.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Improvement rate of 2 points or more of IGA-LCL Wrinkle Severity (time frame: Baseline, Week 24). 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 18 May 2025.
