- Subject is not likely to complete the study because of other commitments;
- Subject is anticipated to be unavailable for visits, incapable of understanding the investigational assessments or having unrealistic expectations of treatment result;

About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Evaluator-blinded, No-treatment Controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Restylane Skinboosters Vital Lidocaine for Improvement in Skin Quality of the Face
This is a randomized, evaluator-blinded, no-treatment controlled, study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Restylane Skinboosters Vital Lidocaine treatment to improve skin quality of the face in China. Subjects of Chinese origin, age 18 years, who are eligible for treatment to improve skin quality of the face. Study center is up to 8.
A total of approximately 171 subjects will be randomized (2:1) to either treatment with Restylane Skinboosters Vital Lidocaine Treatment Group (approximately 114 subjects) or no-treatment Control Group (approximately 57 subjects).
- Conditions
- Skin Quality Improvement
- Being tested
- Restylane Skinboosters Vital Lidocaine
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Restylane Skinboosters Vital LidocaineDevice
Restylane Skinboosters Vital Lidocaine is an injectable, sterile, transparent, biodegradable gel of non-animal crosslinked sodium hyaluronate. Restylane Skinboosters Vital Lidocaine has the addition of lidocaine hydrochloride. They are supplied in a glass syringe.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Restylane Skinboosters Vital Lidocaine | Experimental | Subjects in the Treatment Group will be treated with Restylane Skinboosters Vital Lidocaine at Baseline, Week 4 and 8. Receives: Device: Restylane Skinboosters Vital Lidocaine |
| No treatment | No intervention | No treatment control group. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Responder rate based on the Blinded Evaluators' live assessment using the Galderma Skin Quality - Fine Lines Scale (GSQ-FLS).
A responder is defined as a subject with at least 1-grade improvement from Baseline in both sides of the face concurrently on the scale. GSQ-FLS is a 5-grade scale with a higher score meaning a worse situation in fine line.
Measured: At Week 12 after Baseline
Secondary outcomes (1)
Responder rate based on the Blinded Evaluators' live assessment using the GSQ-FLS
Measured: At Week 16, 20, 24, 36, 48 and 60 after Baseline for the Treatment Group or at Week 16, 20 and 24 after Baseline for the no-treatment Control Group. GSQ-FLS is a 5-grade scale with a higher score meaning a worse situation in fine line.
