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

This is a single center, prospective, open-label, clinical trial using micro-injections of Restylane® Silk for correction of mid to low cheek fine lines and wrinkles. Twenty (20) subjects will be enrolled. Each subject will receive Restylane® Silk to a defined area of mid to low cheeks. The injections will be delivered intradermally via multiple 0.02 cc microinjections distributed in a grid array pattern with 1 cm between each injection point. A total surface area of 9-15 cm2 per cheek will be treated depending on the extent of fine lines in each subject. Following completion of injection treatment, manual massage will be applied to the full area to promote even distribution of the product. Each subject will undergo a total of three treatment sessions, one month apart, day 1, week 4, and week 8. The maximum amount of Restylane to be used per treatments session/per cheek is 1.5cc (not to exceed a total of 9 cc) per treated patient. Three dimensional digital photography utilizing the Vectra 3D System (Canfield) will be utilized to document pre-treatment status, sites of injection, and post-treatment effect. Subjects will be followed up at 4 weeks, 8 weeks, post-treatment day 90, and day 180.

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.
