An Open-label Study of Poly-l-lactic Acid for Correction of Wrinkles in the décolletage Area

July 30, 2024 updated by: Galderma R&D

A Prospective Open-label Study to Evaluate Safety and Effectiveness of Two Different Reconstitution Volumes of Poly-l-lactic Acid (PLLA) for Correction of Wrinkles in the décolletage Area

This is a prospective open-label study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of two different reconstitution volumes of poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) for correction of wrinkles in the décolletage area.

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

A challenge for wrinkle correction of the decolletage/chest and other non-facial areas is that larger surface areas typically need to be treated than for facial indications, for which reason the Sponsor is investigating a larger reconstitution volume compared to the approved label. In this study, the total volume of 18mL, including 1mL of 2% lidocaine, is being explored and compared with results from the current labeled volume of 9mL, including lidocaine, to assess if the larger volume is well-tolerated for treatment for wrinkles in the decolletage area.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

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

22 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding females over the age of 22
  • subjects seeking treatment for the décolletage
  • subjects with moderate (Grade 2) or severe (Grade 3) on the Galderma Décolletage Scale
  • subjects willing to abstain from any other surgical or cosmetic procedures in the décolletage area for the duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known/previous allergy or hypersensitivity to Sculptra
  • Previous tissue augmenting therapy, contouring or revitalization treatment in the décolletage prior to baseline
  • Any plastic surgery or permanent surgical implant in the treatment area
  • Previous treatment/procedure in the treatment area in the previous 6 months that would interfere with study injections or study assessments

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
Percentage of Responders on the Galderma Décolletage Scale (GDS), as Assessed Live by the Treating Investigator, at Month 9
Time Frame: At Month 9
Responder was defined as participants having at least one grade improvement from baseline. GDS was a validated 5-point scale used to assess the severity of lines and wrinkles in the décolletage area: Grade 0 (none to minimal), Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), Grade 4 (very severe). Higher score meant very severe lines and wrinkles in the décolletage area.
At Month 9

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
Percentage of Responders on the Galderma Décolletage Scale, as Assessed Live by the Treating Investigator, at Month 6
Time Frame: At Month 6
Responder was defined as participants having at least one grade improvement from baseline. GDS was a validated 5-point scale used to assess the severity of lines and wrinkles in the décolletage area: Grade 0 (none to minimal), Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), Grade 4 (very severe). Higher score meant very severe lines and wrinkles in the décolletage area.
At Month 6
Percentage of Responders Who Achieved At Least "Improved" on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) as Assessed by Participant at Months 6 and 9
Time Frame: At Month 6 and 9
Responder was defined as participants achieving 'very much improved', 'much improved' or "Improved" on GAIS compared to baseline. The 7-graded GAIS was used by the participant to live assess the severity of lines and wrinkles by responding to the question: "Please choose the response below that best describes the overall change in the appearance of your upper chest area since you received the study treatment " by using the respective categorical scale as follows: Very Much Improved, Much Improved, Improved, No Change, Worse, Much Worse, Very Much Worse. In this outcome measure, percentage of participants who achieved at least 'Improved' on the GAIS assessed by participant at Months 6 and 9 were reported.
