Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

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.

Detailed Description

Dermal fillers have been approved for the treatment of age related aesthetic changes, including facial volume loss, and attenuation of the static and dynamic rhytid. Despite widespread use of volumizing fillers there is little data quantifying the subjective benefit of these minimally invasive treatments from the patient perspective. Furthermore, there is little data comparing the subjective benefit with true objective volumetric results. Such data will provide much needed information for patient counselling and treatment optimization for patient perceived outcomes.

This study is to determine the patient reported outcomes of three different dermal fillers and establish the volumetric changes over 90 days. Screening will be performed during the patient's office visit. Approximately 100 patients will be enrolled. Patients will participate up to 90 days (Day 1, 14 days, 28 days, and 90 days).

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.

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
Patient Satisfaction With Validated FACE-Q Aesthetics Survey
Time Frame: 2 week post injections

Absolute Change of the Patient Satisfaction using the validated FACE-Q Aesthetics questionnaire for patient reported assessment of treatment by domain.

The absolute change from the patient reported outcome score prior to injection to the patient reported score immediate post-injection. Increase in numeric value indicates the larger patient reported improvement, except for psychosocial distress module where a decrease in numeric value indicates patient improvement. Maximum change 99 and Minimum Change 0.
2 week post injections

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Correlate Patient Satisfaction With Volumetric Measurements
Time Frame: upto 90 days
Linear correlation of relative volumetric change over relative patient satisfaction scale change. These values are reported as correlation coefficients and are unit less.
upto 90 days
Volumetric Changes of Treatment
Time Frame: immediately post injection, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks
3-dimensional photography to measure volumetric changes in each treatment
immediately post injection, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks
