About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Multi-center Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of Lumina™ in the Treatment of Nasolabial Folds

The study will be a prospective, randomized, split-face, double blind, controlled, clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Lumina™ for the treatment of Nasolabial Folds (NLFs). Subjects will be randomized to receive treatment (Lumina™) in one NLF and control (Restylane® Defyne) in the contra-lateral NLF. 118 subjects will be treated.

Study Product, Active Control

What participants receive

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

  • Study ProductDevice

    Also called Lumina

    up to 2cc per injection of filler placed into nasolabial fold.

  • Active ControlDevice

What is being measured

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

  1. primary effectiveness Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS)

    The mean change from baseline of NLFs in the Lumina™ treatment arm will be compared to that of NLFs in the Restylane® Defyne control arm. (5 point scale with 1 being no visible NLF and 5 being extreme, deep and long NLFs)

    Measured: 6 month

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. WSRS other timepoint

    Individual endpoints at each timepoint of other than 6 month for mean change from baseline on the WSRS scale, as determined by the live, masked evaluator

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3, 9, and 12 months

  2. WSRS proportions

    proportion of NLFs in the Lumina™ treatment arm compared to that of NLFs in the Restylane® Defyne control arm with ≥1 point improvement from baseline on the WSRS

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

  3. Global Aesthetics Improvement Scale (GAIS) - Masked Evaluator

    Individual endpoints for each rater type, as rated by the live, masked evaluator (5 point scale with 1 being most improvement and 5 being worsened)

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

  4. GAIS Subject

    Individual endpoints for each rater type, as rated by the study subject.

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

  5. GAIS Investigator

    Individual endpoints for each rater type, as rated by treating investigator

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

  6. FACE-Q (standardized questionnaire developed by Memorial Sloan Kettering) Appraisal of Nasolabial Folds Questionnaire

    change from baseline for Lumina™ and Restylane® Defyne on the Subject FACE-Q Appraisal of Nasolabial Folds Questionnaire

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

  7. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain

    pain assessment in NLFs treated with Lumina™ compared to NLFs treated with Restylane® Defyne at initial injection

    Measured: injection

  8. WSRS Photographics

    Individual endpoints at each timepoint of 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months for mean change from baseline on the WSRS scale for NLFs treated with Lumina™ compared to NLFs treated with Restylane® Defyne, as rated by a photographic reviewer.

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

  9. Proportion WSRS photographic

    proportion of NLFs in the Lumina™ treatment arm compared to that of NLFs in the Restylane® Defyne control arm with ≥1 point improvement from baseline on the WSRS, as determined by a photographic reviewer

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
