Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 71 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  3. Understands and accepts the obligation not to receive any other facial procedures from enrollment through 1 month from optimal correction in the current study.
  4. Understands and accepts the obligation to comply with the required follow-up visits and is logistically able to meet all study requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Has received surgery in either nasolabial fold.
  2. Has received within the past 6 months a non-permanent filler (e.g. hyaluronic acid, CaHA) or neurotoxin below the zygomatic arch.
  3. Has received at any time a permanent filler (e.g. polylactic acid, PMMA, silicone) below the zygomatic arch.
  4. Has received within the past 6 months dermal resurfacing procedures (e.g. medium/deep chemical peel, dermabrasion treatments, ablative laser resurfacing) or non-invasive skin-tightening (e.g. Thermage) below the zygomatic arch.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of Severe Common Adverse Events
Time Frame: 1 month
The purpose of this study was to determine if the rate of "Severe" common adverse events after re-treatment with Belotero Balance differs from the combined rates reported in the Belotero® Balance IDE clinical trial and Belotero® Balance Fitzpatrick Skin Type IV-VI Study (Pre-Approval Studies)."Common" is defined as pre-specified adverse events occurring in >= 5% of study subjects. These averse events are: bruising, itching, pain, redness, swelling, discoloration, nodule, and induration.

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
