About this study

Official title: An Open Label Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of a Second Treatment Session of RZL-012 Into Submental Fat in Subjects Seeking Further Improvement

This is a Phase 2, open-label study in which subjects seeking further improvement of their SMF will be treated with a second treatment session of RZL-012.

The second treatment session will be offered to subjects previously treated with RZL-012 under protocols RZL-012-SMF-SWMTG-P2US-001 or RZL-012-SMFC-P2US-001. Subjects who fully completed either of the trials and whose C-CAT score is 2, 3 or 4 will be eligible to participate in the new trial.

For each subject, the study will consist of a screening period, baseline period in which subjects will receive a second treatment session of RZL-012 and a follow-up period. RZL-012 will be administered during a single treatment session via multiple injections into the submental area under the chin. Subjects will thereafter be monitored for safety and efficacy for at least 84 days.

Read the detailed description

Screening Period:

Subjects will be eligible to undergo screening after successful completion of (defined as completion of the day 84 visit) of either RZL-012-SMF-SWMTG-P2US-001 or RZL-012-SMFC-P2US-001 studies. Subjects will undergo screening within 28 days prior 2nd RZL session. During the screening period, subjects will be assessed for study eligibility by evaluation of subjects' SMF using S-CAT, C-CAT, SIQ8, biochemistry blood tests, 2D photography.

Day 0/Baseline:

Subjects will receive a second multi-injection treatment of RZL-012 on Day 0. AEs will be recorded. Subjects will be asked about their pain levels using VAS.

Day 1-Day 84 Follow-Up Period Subjects will return to the site for study visits on Days 1, 7, 28, 56 and 84 for efficacy and safety assessments.

Safety assessments will include vital signs, labs, AEs severity assessment, and treatment area evaluation. Treatment area evaluations will include evaluation of edema, bruising, dysphasia, dysphonia, erythema, dyspigmentation, induration, numbness, pain, paresthesia, pruritus, skin ulceration and necrosis, injury to the marginal mandibular nerve, vascular and nerve injury, and tissue damage to nearby vulnerable anatomic structures. Swelling severity will be assessed as a function of time. Pain will be assessed using the VAS. Concomitant medications will be recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety - Adverse events follow up

    Safety assessments will include vital signs, labs, AEs severity assessment, and treatment area evaluation. Treatment area evaluations will include evaluation of edema, bruising, dysphasia, dysphonia, erythema, dyspigmentation, induration, numbness, pain, paresthesia, pruritus, skin ulceration and necrosis, injury to the marginal mandibular nerve, vascular and nerve injury, and tissue damage to nearby vulnerable anatomic structures. Swelling severity will be assessed as a function of time. Pain will be assessed using the VAS. Concomitant medications will be recorded

    Measured: 84 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy -Change in score according to Clinician chin assessment tool (C-CAT)

    • Proportion of subjects who have at least a 1-grade improvement in C-CAT on Day 84 versus baseline in subjects receiving a second treatment session of RZL-012. Baseline is defined as the C-CAT assessment made immediately prior to the second treatment session

    Measured: 84 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RZL-012 in people with Submental Fat, run by Raziel Therapeutics Ltd. at 1 site in United States.

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 16 inclusion and 25 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 18 Nov 2023. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

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?

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?

Safety - Adverse events follow up (time frame: 84 days). 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 Nov 2023.
