About this study

Official title: Prospective, Controlled, Randomized, Blinded Evaluator, Split-face Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel With Lidocaine Lidocaine for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Nasolabial Folds

This will be a pre-CE mark controlled, prospective, randomized, blinded evaluator, single centre, split-face clinical investigation.

Each subject will receive both medical devices under investigation, one (HAL: Hyaluronic Acid plus Lidocaine ) on the one side of the face, the other (HA: Hyaluronic Acid) on the other side, in randomized fashion.

Read the detailed description

This will be a pre-CE mark controlled, prospective, randomized, blinded evaluator, single centre, split-face clinical investigation.

Each subject will receive both medical devices under investigation, one (HAL) on the one side of the face, the other (HA) on the other side, in randomized fashion.

The products will be administered by the Investigator/Co-Investigator (Treating Investigator), while the evaluations will be done by a Co-Investigator not aware of the side type treatment (Blinded Evaluator).

The investigational plan include a Visit 1, during which subjects will be screened for entry (inclusion/exclusion) criteria; eligible subjects will be treated with the medical devices and followed for the next hour for pain and safety evaluation.

Visit 2, 3 and Visit 4 are schedule after 2 (± 2 days), 12 (± 10 days) e 24 (± 10 days) weeks for the assessment of safety and clinical efficacy.

Subjects prematurely discontinued from the investigation after the treatment will perform an 'Early termination visit', in which procedures scheduled for Visit 4 (24 weeks, final visit) will be performed (whenever feasible). In case of premature discontinuation of the investigation, the Investigator will duly record the reason for premature withdrawal in the appropriate section of the case report form (CRF).

Visit 4 (or the 'Early termination Visit') will represent the conclusion of subject's participation in the investigation.

Adverse events will be recorded during the entire investigational period by investigator's assessment and subjects' spontaneous reporting. Vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate) will be measured at each visit in the investigational site

Being tested
hyaluronic acid plus lidocaine, hyaluronic acid without lidocaine

What is being measured

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

  1. changes in pain due to the injection assessed by VAS (Visual Analogue Scale, 0-100 mm) at 15-30-45-60 minutes after each injection(baseline)

    pain experienced by subjects during and immediately after injections of the products under investigation [hyaluronic acid PEG-cross-linked formulated with 0.3% lidocaine: HAL] versus the same product WITHOUT lidocaine [HA], separately for each side of the face. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: within 1 min and 15-30-45-60 minutes after each injection

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical efficacy

    Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS):

    very much improved: excellent corrective result; much improved: marked improvement of the appearance, but not optimal; improved: improvement of the appearance, better compared with the initial condition, but a touch-up is advised; no change: the appearance substantially remains unchanged in respect of the original condition; worse: the appearance worsened compared with the initial condition.

    Measured: done by the subject at weeks 2, 12 and 24 after treatments, separately for each side of the face

  2. Clinical efficacy

    Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS):

    1. absent- no visible nasolabial fold; continuous skin line
    2. mild - shallow but visible nasolabial fold with a slight indentation; minor facial feature; implant is expected to produce a slight improvement in appearance
    3. moderate- moderately deep nasolabial fold; clear facial feature visible at normal appearance but not when stretched; excellent correction is expected from injectable implant
    4. severe- very long and deep nasolabial fold; prominent facial feature; <2 mm visible fold when stretched; significant improvement is expected from injectable implant
    5. extreme- extremely deep and long nasolabial fold, detrimental to facial appearance; 2-4 mm visible V-shaped fold when stretched; unlikely to have satisfactory correction with injectable implant alone

    Measured: done by the blind evaluator before intervention and 12-24 weeks after injections, separately for each side of the face

  3. Clinical efficacy

    Global satisfaction assessment (GSA) scale:

    unsatisfying satisfying very satisfying

    Measured: done by the blind evaluator and by the the subject at the week 24 of the study, separately for each side of the face

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing hyaluronic acid plus lidocaine and hyaluronic acid without lidocaine in people with Nasolabial Folds, run by Centro Medico Polispecialistico.

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 4 inclusion and 20 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

changes in pain due to the injection assessed by VAS (Visual Analogue Scale, 0-100 mm) at 15-30-45-60 minutes after each injection(baseline) (time frame: within 1 min and 15-30-45-60 minutes after each injection). 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 23 Feb 2022.
