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.

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
EXPERIMENTAL: Aliaxin (new trademark - IBSA Farmaceutici Italia S.r.l.)
Device: Aliaxin (new trademark - IBSA Farmaceutici Italia S.r.l.)

First treatment was performed during baseline visit, after the basal evaluations planned by the study procedure.

0.5-1.1 ml of Aliaxin (new trademark) for emi-face was injected by needle (25-27 G) and/or cannula (25 G, 40 mm).

A touch-up treatment (0.5-1.1 ml of Aliaxin new trademark for subject) was performed after 3-4 weeks (T1) in order to treat possible asymmetry.

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
Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) grade variation
Time Frame: Baseline (T0), 3-4 weeks after the 1st injection procedure (T1),2 months after the 1st injection procedure (T2),3 months after the 1st injection procedure (T3),6 months after the 1st injection procedure (T4),9 months after the 1st injection procedure(T5)

Reduction of wrinkles severity corresponding to a decrease from the baseline of the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) clinical score where:

  • Grade 1 (absent): no visible nasolabial fold; continuous skin line.
  • Grade 2 (mild): shallow but visible nasolabial fold with a slight indentation; minor facial feature.
  • Grade 3 (moderate): moderately deep nasolabial folds; clear facial feature visible at normal appearance but not when stretched.
  • Grade 4 (severe): very long and deep nasolabial folds; prominent facial feature; <2mm visible fold when stretched.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
