Safety and Efficacy of Linnea Safe PMMA 30% Use for Gluteal Augmentation. (LinneaSafe30)

February 27, 2025 updated by: LEBON PRODUTOS QUIMICOS E FARMACEUTICOS LTDA.
This pre-market, interventional, single-arm study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LinneaSafe 30% polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) for gluteal augmentation. The study will include 119 patients, with a total recruitment of 137 to account for a 15% drop-out rate. Eligible participants are men and women over 18 years old who express interest and are deemed suitable for the procedure. The primary safety outcome is the incidence of adverse events, while the primary efficacy outcome is patient satisfaction.

Detailed Description

This pre-market, interventional, single-arm study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LinneaSafe 30% polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) for gluteal augmentation. The study will include 119 patients, with a total recruitment of 137 to account for a 15% drop-out rate. Eligible participants are men and women over 18 years old who express interest and are deemed suitable for the procedure. The primary safety outcome is the incidence of adverse events, while the primary efficacy outcome is patient satisfaction.

Patient recruitment will be conducted via social media. After signing the consent form, participants will undergo screening, including laboratory tests, gluteal ultrasound, and bioimpedance. The procedure (T0) involves baseline photos, gluteal measurements, and intramuscular PMMA augmentation (maximum 300 mL), followed by an evaluation of patient and clinician satisfaction. Follow-ups include online assessments at T1 week and T3 months to monitor adverse events. At T6 months, patients will undergo clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, photos, and satisfaction assessments, with the possibility of a retouch (up to 120 mL) if necessary, followed by an additional online check-up after one week. The final evaluation at T12 months will include photos, gluteal measurements, laboratory tests, ultrasound, bioimpedance, and an overall assessment of safety and efficacy.

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: PMMA
Gluteal Augmentation with Linnea Safe (PMMA).
Safety and efficacy evaluation of PMMA LinneaSafe 30% use for gluteal augmentation. Linnea Safe is a water-based gel containing Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) in concentrations of 2%, 10% or 30%. LInnea Safe is indicated for facial and body volumetric correction in cases of lipodystrophy due to the use of antiretrovirals in HIV-positive patients. It is also indicated for facial volumetric correction, and can be used in nasolabial folds, glabellar lines, corners of the mouth, upper lip lines, chin lines/chin lines, in the malar region, in acne scars, on the nose, to increase lips and facial contour.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adverse Events
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months
Expected events will be classified as adverse events when they persist for more than two weeks, and must be reported throughout the study. Adverse events not previously identified will also be monitored at all visits.
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient Satisfaction
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months

Patient and physician satisfaction will be evaluated using the Portuguese version of the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale, assigning values according to the following parameters:

Very much improved (5): excellent cosmetic result after the procedure. Much improved (4): marked improvement in the appearance of the initial condition, but not completely optimal for the patient.

Improved (3): obvious improvement in the appearance of the initial condition. No change (2): appearance is essentially the same as the original condition. Worse (1): appearance is worse than the original condition. The satisfaction assessment will be conducted at the T6 and T12 visits.

From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months
