Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of IPN59011 in Improving the Appearance of Moderate to Severe Upper Facial Lines. (LONG-SET)

A Phase Ib/II, Multicentre, Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Dose Escalation and Dose Finding Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of IPN59011 in Improving the Appearance of Moderate to Severe Upper Facial Lines

• Any prior treatment with permanent fillers in the upper face including the GL, FHL and LCL area.
• Any prior treatment with long lasting dermal fillers in the upper face including the GL area within the past 3 years and/or skin abrasions/resurfacing (whatever the interventional technic used) within the past 5 years, or photo rejuvenation or skin/vascular laser intervention within the 12 months prior to Baseline.
• Any planned facial cosmetic surgery during the study.
• A history of eyelid blepharoplasty or brow lift within the past 5 years.
• An inability to substantially reduce GL by physically spreading them apart or lack of capacity to frown.
• An active infection or other skin problems in the upper face including the GL, FHL and LCL area (e.g. acute acne lesions or ulcers).
• Use of concomitant therapy which, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with the evaluation of the safety or efficacy of the study treatment, including medications affecting bleeding disorders (e.g. antiplatelet agents and/or anticoagulants given for treatment or prevention of cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases).
• Pregnant women, nursing women, premenopausal women or women of childbearing potential (i.e. not surgically sterile or 1 year postmenopausal) not willing to practice a highly effective form of contraception method at the beginning of the study, for the duration of the study and for a minimum of 12 weeks following last administration of study treatment. Highly effective methods of contraception are defined as methods of birth control which result in a low failure rate (less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, or vasectomised partner.
• Male subjects who are not vasectomised and who have female partners of childbearing potential and are not willing to use condoms with spermicide throughout study participation for a minimum of 12 weeks following initial double-blind administration of the treatment.
• Positive for hepatitis B antigen, or hepatitis C virus antibody, or for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or a diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
• A history of drug or alcohol abuse.
• Use of any experimental device within 30 days or use of any treatment with an experimental drug within five times the documented terminal half-life of the respective drug or its metabolites or if the half life is unknown within 30 days prior to the start of the study (prior to Baseline) and during the conduct of the study.
• Clinically diagnosed significant anxiety disorder, or any other significant psychiatric disorder (e.g. depression) that might interfere with the subject's participation in the study.
• Use of medications that affect neuromuscular transmission, such as curare-like nondepolarising agents, lincosamides, polymyxins, anticholinesterases and aminoglycoside antibiotics, within the past 30 days prior to Baseline.
• A history of facial nerve palsy.
• Marked facial asymmetry, ptosis, excessive dermatochalasis, deep dermal scarring, or thick sebaceous skin.
• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to BTX, or any excipients of IPN59011 or Azzalure, or allergy to cow's milk protein.
• Any known medical condition that may put the subject at increased risk in regard to exposure to BoNT of any serotype (i.e. myasthenia gravis, Eaton-Lambert syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, etc.)
• The presence of any other condition (e.g. neuromuscular disorder or other disorder that could interfere with neuromuscular function), laboratory finding or circumstance that, in the judgment of the investigator, might increase the risk to the subject or decrease the chance of obtaining satisfactory data to achieve the objectives of the study.
• Any uncontrolled systemic disease or other significant medical condition considered as an exclusion criteria.
