About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Clinical Study of STYLAGE® XXL Versus No-Treatment for Volume Deficiency in the Mid-face

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of STYLAGE® XXL versus no treatment at 24 weeks after baseline for the creation or restoration of volume deficit in the mid-face.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, no-treatment controlled post-market clinical follow-up of a class III medical device. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of STYLAGE® XXL in the restorationor creation of volume in the mid-face.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of STYLAGE® XXL versus no treatment at 24 weeks after baseline for the creation or restoration of volume deficit in the mid-face.

Assessment of superiority will be based on 3D analysis of the volumetric change, using a validated imaging system.

Effectiveness of STYLAGE® XXL will be demonstrated if the mean volumetric change at 24 weeks after baseline from pre-treatment in the treatment group is statistically superior to the mean change in the delayed treatment (control) group.

In total, approximately 90 subjects will be enrolled across three study centers in Switzerland, Austria, and France.

Subjects will be randomized to the treatment group or delayed treatment (control) group at a 5:1 ratio (i.e., there will be 5 more subjects treated with STYLAGE® XXL at baseline as compared to subjects who will be in the no-treatment (control) group and who will receive a delayed treatment with STYLAGE® XXL at 24 weeks after baseline).

The total duration of subject participation ranges from 18-19 months (treatment group) to 24-25 months (delayed treatment (control) group). Overall study duration including the enrolment period is expected to take approximately 30-31 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mid-Face Volumetric change

    Mean volumetric change between the treatment group and no-treatment control group at 24 (V4) weeks after baseline (V1)

    Measured: 24 weeks after baseline

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Mid-Face Volumetric change

    Mean volumetric change between the treatment group and no-treatment control group at 4 (V2) and 12 (V3) weeks after baseline (V1)

    Measured: 4, and 12 weeks after baseline

  2. Mid-Face Volumetric change

    Mean volumetric change between pre-treatment and directly after treatment at V1 (or V1b), and 4 (V2/V2b), 12 (V3/V3b), 48 (V5), and 72 (V6) weeks after initial treatment, in both groups pooled.

    Measured: 4, 12, 24, 48, and 72 weeks after initial treatment

  3. Global Aesthetic Improvement, by the Subjects

    Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS; improvement in the mid-face Area), assessed by the Subjects, between the treatment group and no-treatment control group.

    GAIS (Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale) is a 5-point scale rating global aesthetic improvement in appearance, compared to pretreatment, with higher scores mean better improvement, with 1 means "Worse" and 5 means "Very much improved".

    Measured: 4, 12, and 24 weeks after baseline

  4. Global Aesthetic Improvement, by the Subjects

    Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS; improvement in the mid-face Area), assessed by the Subjects, in both groups pooled.

    GAIS (Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale) is a 5-point scale rating global aesthetic improvement in appearance, compared to pretreatment, with higher scores mean better improvement, with 1 means "Worse" and 5 means "Very much improved".

    Measured: 4, 12, 24, 48, and 72 weeks after initial treatment

  5. Global Aesthetic Improvement, by the Investigators

    Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS; improvement in the mid-face Area), assessed by the Investigators, between the treatment group and no-treatment control group.

    GAIS (Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale) is a 5-point scale rating global aesthetic improvement in appearance, compared to pretreatment, with higher scores mean better improvement, with 1 means "Worse" and 5 means "Very much improved".

  7. FACE-Q, by the Subjects

    Rash-transformed score of the FACE-Q, assessed by the Subjects, between the treatment group and no-treatment control group.

    FACE-Q is a patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure that can be used to measure outcomes of aesthetic facial procedures and products from the patient's perspective, composed of a set of independently functioning scales/checklists. In this study; two scales are assessed:

    1. FACE-Q - Satisfaction with cheekbones: This questionnaire consists of 10 items, and measures the appearance of cheekbones with items that ask about shape, contour and symmetry, as well as how attractive, high and well-defined the cheekbones look.
    2. FACE-Q - Satisfaction with outcome. This questionnaire consists of 6 items, and measures satisfaction with the result of a facial procedure, e.g., pleased with the result, result is fantastic.

    The total score is converted to a score from 0 to 100, with higher scores reflect a better outcome.

    Measured: Baseline, and 4, 12, and 24 weeks after baseline

    The WSRS (Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale) is a 5-point rating scale to determine the severity of the nasolabial folds (NLF), with lower scores mean better condition (less severity), with 1 means "Absent - No visible NLF, continuous skin line" and 5 means "Extreme - Extremely deep and long nasolabial fold, detrimental to facial appearance; 2-4 mm visible V-shaped fold when stretched".

    Measured: 4, 12, and 24 weeks after baseline

  10. Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS), by the Investigators.

    Nasolabial Fold Severity using the wrinkle severity rating scale (WSRS), assessed by the Investigators, in both groups pooled.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing STYLAGE® XXL in people with Volume Deficiency in the Mid-Face and Aging, run by Laboratoires Vivacy at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 27 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Mid-Face Volumetric change (time frame: 24 weeks after baseline). 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 10 Sep 2025.
