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 16 week, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study. Approximately 105 Caucasian and Asian (Korean, Japanese, or Chinese) female subjects will be enrolled. The following clinical assessments will be performed: (1)VISIA-CR™ digital photography; (2)AGE Reader SU measurements on the left cheek and left inner forearm; (3) Visual Analog Grading (VAS); (4) Corneometer measurements; and (5) Cutometer measurements. Subjects will return to the clinic at approximately 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 16 weeks from the baseline visit for similar measurements. A self-perception questionnaire will be administered at the conclusion of the study.

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.

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
Change of Skin Autofluoresence
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 16 weeks, change from 8 weeks to 16 weeks
Change of accumulation of glycation as measured by validated autofluoresence measuring device (AGE Reader)
Change from baseline to 16 weeks, change from 8 weeks to 16 weeks

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
Skin elasticity
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 16 weeks; change from 8 weeks to 16 weeks
Relationship between elasticity and skin glycation; elasticity will be measured by cutometer
Change from baseline to 16 weeks; change from 8 weeks to 16 weeks
