Split-face Comparison Study to Assess ELAPR Compared to Juvéderm® for the Treatment of Nasolabial Folds

A Phase 2 Bilateral (Split-face) Comparison Study to Assess Two Formulations of ELAPR Compared to Juvéderm® Ultra Plus for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Nasolabial Folds

Patients presenting to the clinic for treatment of moderate to severe Nasolabial folds will be recruited to receive either ELAPR002b or ELAPR002d for the treatment of one Nasolabial fold and Juvéderm® Ultra Plus for the treatment of the second, opposite Nasolabial fold.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Aging
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: ELAPR002; Device: Juvéderm® Ultra Plus

Detailed Description

The treatment will be repeated on Day 29 (if required) and Day 57 (if required) to achieve optimum cosmetic results (OCR).

Each treatment will consist of up to 15 injections in total, each consisting of up to 0.1 ml of product, delivered to the mid to deep dermis of the skin of each Nasolabial fold using a 27G needle.

Each patient will receive the same preparation implanted as a bolus of 0.1mL at Day 1 into the mid-deep dermis of the skin of the medial aspect of the upper arm using a 27G needle, and two 2mm biopsies will be taken at the same visit on Day 57, Day 85 or Day 169 depending on randomisation for histopathology assessment.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: ELAPR002; Each treatment will consist of up 15 injections in total, each consisting of up to 0.1 ml of product, delivered to the mid to deep dermis of the skin of each NLF using a 27G needle. The needle will be inserted at an approximate angle of 30o parallel to the skin, and the product may be injected by a retrograde injection or by deposition of a bolus. ELAPR and the control may be implanted parallel or perpendicular to the NLF. Exactly the same technique will be used for the treatment of both NLFs for each patient.	Device: ELAPR002; Each treatment will consist of up 15 injections in total, each consisting of up to 0.1 ml of product, delivered to the mid to deep dermis of the skin of each NLF using a 27G needle. The needle will be inserted at an approximate angle of 30o parallel to the skin, and the product may be injected by a retrograde injection or by deposition of a bolus. ELAPR and the control may be implanted parallel or perpendicular to the NLF. Exactly the same technique will be used for the treatment of both NLFs for each patient.; Other Names: Tropelastin
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Juvéderm® Ultra Plus; Each treatment will consist of up 15 injections in total, each consisting of up to 0.1 ml of product, delivered to the mid to deep dermis of the skin of each NLF using a 27G needle. The needle will be inserted at an approximate angle of 30o parallel to the skin, and the product may be injected by a retrograde injection or by deposition of a bolus. ELAPR and the control may be implanted parallel or perpendicular to the NLF. Exactly the same technique will be used for the treatment of both NLFs for each patient.	Device: Juvéderm® Ultra Plus; Patients will receive either ELAPR002b or ELAPR002d for the treatment of one NLF, and Juvéderm® Ultra Plus for the treatment of the second, opposite NLF. Treatments will be provided on Day 1 and repeated on Day 29 (if required at the discretion of the investigator) Day 57 (if required at the discretion of the investigator)to achieve OCR.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Assess the effect of two formulations of ELAPR on change from baseline of the severity of the Nasolabial folds against a Wrinkle Assessment Scale of Nasolabial folds score at 24 weeks vs. active control	The primary efficacy variable is the change in Wrinkle Assessment Scale (WAS). The values for WAS recorded at each visit will be summarized by treatment.	24 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Assess the acute safety of ELAPR	Adverse event profile will be collected.	24 weeks
Assess chronic safety of ELAPR	A serum sample will be collected at Day 1, 29, 85, and Day 169, or at the completion visit in the event of early withdrawal or early termination and stored for a maximum of 5 years for the development of an assay to measure circulating anti-tropoelastin antibody levels.	24 weeks
