About this study
Official title: A Single-center Clinical Study of the Efficacy and Safety of the Medical Device "Intradermal Implant, Sterile ULTRACOL Based on Polydioxanone (ULTRA V Co., Ltd., Korea) in the Correction of Skin Contour Defects.
Study of the effectiveness of the medical device "Intradermal implant, sterile ULTRACOL based on polydioxanone (ULTRA V Co., Ltd., Korea) in the correction of skin contour defects.
Read the detailed description
The investigational product is composed of a mixture of polydioxanone and sodium carboxymethylcellulose. The polydioxanone content is as follows: Ultracol 200: 150 mg ±10%, Ultracol 100: 75 mg ±10%. The key difference from the closest analogs (AestheFill® V200, Sculptra™, Ellagen PLLA+CMC 1000 mg) is the presence of polydioxanone in the investigational product.
Thus, the analyzed analogues are not fully interchangeable medical products. The combined composition of Ultracol has not been studied properly. Therefore, during the clinical study, it is necessary to check the safety and effectiveness of a medical product with a combined composition - polydioxanone and sodium carboxymethylcellulose.

- A study without a control group, without a comparison device, blinding and randomization are not required. In order to increase the clinical significance and generalizability of the data, the inclusion/exclusion criteria and requirements for the treatment plan are formulated as openly as possible, without compromising the reliability of the data. The observation period more than covers the period for assessing the safety of the device. The studied MD does not enter the systemic circulation, therefore, safety issues may arise upon direct administration or slightly later. The results of toxicological studies and sterility studies are confirmed within the framework of this clinical trial program. Residual clinical risks requiring additional study within the framework of the current program have not been identified. The existing clinical experience of using the medical device in question in other countries confirms the suitability of use in accordance with the instructions for use.
