Official title: A Post-Market, Single-arm, Confirmatory Interventional Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the Performance and Safety of INNEA and INNEA AQUA for the Treatment of Cheek and décolletage Wrinkles

A Post-Market, Single-arm, Confirmatory Interventional Clinical Investigation to evaluate the Performance and Safety of INNEA and INNEA AQUA for the treatment of cheek and décolletage wrinkles

Read the detailed description

Investigational product:

INNEA and INNEA AQUA are CE-marked medical devices indicated for intradermal injections. In particular:

  • INNEA is a sterile, biodegradable, isotonic, dermal filler. INNEA consists of high chain (1,0-1,5 x 106 Dalton) hyaluronic acid (HA), obtained from Streptococcus equip bacteria, formulated to a concentration of 20 mg/ml in a physiologic buffer. Each box contains one syringe of INNEA, two 30G 1⁄2" disposable sterile needles reserved for injection of INNEA and a product leaflet.
  • INNEA AQUA is a sterile, biodegradable, isotonic, intradermal filler. INNEA AQUA consists of a calibrated mix of medium weight (1200 - 1500 KDalton) HA and a low weight (200 - 400 KDalton), obtained from Streptococcus equi bacteria, formulated to a concentration of 25 mg/ml in a physiologic buffer and trehalose. Each box contains one syringe of INNEA AQUA, two 30G 1⁄2" disposable sterile needles reserved for injection of INNEA AQUA and a product leaflet.

Indications:

in the physiological process of aging of the skin, the effects of which include inspissation of the horny layer (roughness and reduced radiance of the skin) and changes in the elastic fibers of the dermis (wrinkles),

  • in the dermal tissue repair process, in cases of scar results following superficial cutaneous trauma (e.g., acne and chickenpox scars).

Study procedure:

This is a post-market confirmatory interventional clinical investigation aimed to enroll adult women requiring correction of cheek and/or décolleté wrinkles. The investigation will be useful to collect INNEA and INNEA AQUA performance/safety evidence.

Each Subject, after signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF), will enter into a screening phase during which the baseline tests will be conducted. If the Investigator is able to organize and perform all tests in the same day, the screening phase and the baseline visit (V0) may coincide, and the patient can be treated immediately after signing the ICF. For each Subject, 5 visits will be planned during which several assessments will be performed as described in the Flowchart.

At V0, the Investigator will collect demographic data (e.g., sex, age, weight), medical history (e.g., history of autoimmune disease, diabetes, etc.), current clinical condition, drug allergy history, and Fitzpatrick phototype (as per clinical practice) of the enrolled Subject.

At V0, according to the instructions for use (IFU), the enrolled patients will be treated with one of the two IPs:

  • INNEA, three injections at one week interval.
  • INNEA AQUA, three injections at one week interval.

Subjects can be treated in one or two of the following areas with one of the two IPs (which will be the same for the three injections planned):

  • Cheek
  • Décolletage Performance will be evaluated by the Investigator using the Lemperle Rating Scale (LRS) for cheek wrinkles at each visit, and the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) for décolletage wrinkles at each post-treatment assessment. In addition, global aesthetic appearance of the face will be assessed through GAIS by the Investigator. Skin radiance and turgor will be evaluated by Subjects using a 5-Likert scale.

After each injection, the Investigator will record Subjects' pain intensity using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).

Safety will include assessment of vital signs and evaluation of possible cutaneous reactions at each visit. Adverse events, concomitant medications, and device deficiencies will be monitored during the entire duration of the study.

A 5-point Likert Scale will be used by Subjects to assess patient satisfaction with treatment at EOS visit (V4).

What is being measured

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

  1. Lemperle Rating scale

    To evaluate the performance of INNEA and INNEA AQUA for the treatment of cheek and décolletage wrinkles after 1 month from the last injection, the lamperle Rating scale will be used:

    • The Lemperle Rating Scale (LRS) will be used to assess cheek wrinkles at V4 (1 month after the 3rd injection) by study product.

    Measured: 1 month after the last injections

  2. GAIS for improvement

    The Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) scale will be used to assess improvement of décolletage wrinkles at V4 (1 month after the 3rd injection) by study product.

    Measured: One month after the injections

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Outcome for performance with Lemperle Rating scale (LRS)

    1. To evaluate the performance of INNEA and INNEA AQUA for the treatment of cheek wrinkles at each visit and décolletage wrinkles at each post-treatment assessment, the LRS (for cheek wrinkles) at each visit. This scale is used because is based on standardized 6-point (0-5) clinical tool used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons to assess the severity of facial wrinkles and folds, aiding in evaluating the effectiveness of injectable fillers and, anti-aging treatments. It measures wrinkles based on depth, ranging from 0 (no wrinkles) to 5 (extremely deep wrinkles/folds). The success is based on the % of improvement in the state of the wrinkles.

    Measured: 1 month after the last injections

  2. Outcome safety: evaluation of adverse events

    To assess the safety and tolerability of INNEA and INNEA AQUA evaluation of the frequency of adverse events (AEs) and type

    Measured: 1 month after the last injections

  3. Performance with Gais

    To evaluate the performance of INNEA and INNEA AQUA to improve aesthetic appearance of the face, the GAIS will be used at each post-treatment assessment.

    Measured: 1 month after the last injections

  4. Performance with Likert scale

    To evaluate the performance of INNEA and INNEA AQUA to improve skin radiance and turgor of cheek and décolletage, a 5- Likert scale will be used at each visit.

    Measured: 1 month after the last injections

  5. Pain intensity evaluation with NRS scale

    To evaluate pain intensity after injection of INNEA and INNEA AQUA, a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) will be used at V0, V1, V2.

    Measured: 1 month after the last injections

  6. Patience Satisfaction with Likert

    To evaluate patient satisfaction with INNEA and INNEA AQUA, a 5- Likert Scale will be used at the end of study (EOS).

    Measured: 1 month after the last injections

  7. Evaluation of performance with Gais, secondary endpoint

    To evaluate the performance of INNEA and INNEA AQUA for the treatment of cheek wrinkles at each visit and décolletage wrinkles at each post-treatment assessment, the Gais at each visit will be used

    Measured: 1 month after the injections
