About this study

Official title: An Interventional, Pre-Market, Double-Blinded, Controlled, Two Stages Study to Evaluate the Safety and Performance of Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel (With and Without Lidocaine) for the Treatment of Soft Tissue Deficits

The aim of this interventional, pre-market, double- blinded, controlled, two stages study is to evaluate the performance and safety of Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid (CLHA) Hydrogel (with and without Lidocaine) for the Treatment of Soft Tissue Deficits.

Read the detailed description

The performance of Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel (with and without Lidocaine), for the correction of congenital and acquired deficits of soft tissue, will be evaluated using the change from baseline to V3 in the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) for 26 mg/ml and 18mg/ml CLHA formulations and in the Lip Fullness Scale (LFS) for 20 mg/ml CLHA formulation.

The duration of the aesthetic effect of Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel (with and without Lidocaine) for the correction of NLFs, perioral wrinkles and lips augmentation, will be assessed using the mean of the absolute change from baseline to each follow up visit in WSRS and LFS score. WSRS and LFS will be assessed by the evaluating investigator who will be different by the treating investigator.

The aesthetic appearance of the Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel (with and without Lidocaine) will be assessed using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) at each visit. The GAIS will be completed by both the subjects and the evaluating investigators; The volume of material required to achieve an optimal correction result will be assessed at baseline and at optional touch up; The pain intensity after injection of Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel (with and without Lidocaine) will be assessed using a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 2 hours after the injection; The patient satisfaction and the usability of Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel (with and without Lidocaine) will be evaluated with a specific questionnaire, completed by the Principal Investigator.

The Safety of Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel (with and without Lidocaine) will be assessed by facial examination and vital signs over the duration of the study. Adverse events and serious adverse events will be collected at each planned visit into a diary dispensed to patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the CLHA performance in the nasolabial folds

    The performance of Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel (with and without Lidocaine), for the correction of congenital and acquired deficits of soft tissue in the Nasolabial folds, will be evaluated using the change from baseline to V3 in the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) for 26 mg/ml CLHA formulation. WSRS is a validated 5-point scale (1 = Absent, 5 = Extreme)

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Evaluation of the CLHA performance in the perioral lines

    The performance of Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel (with and without Lidocaine), for the correction of congenital and acquired deficits of soft tissue in the perioral lines, will be evaluated using the change from baseline to V3 in the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) for 18mg/ml CLHA formulations. WSRS is a validated 5-point scale (1 = Absent, 5 = Extreme)

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Evaluation of the CLHA performance in the lips

    The performance of Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel (with and without Lidocaine), for the correction of congenital and acquired deficits of soft tissue in the lips, will be evaluated using the change from baseline to V3 in the Lip Fullness Scale (LFS) for 20 mg/ml CLHA formulation.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 18 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 10 May 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Vincenzo De Benedictis, Dr. (3494263425 ext. +39, v.debenedictis@biopolimerisrl.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

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 May 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
