Study to Assess Adverse Events and How Effective NOA LIFT is Compared to JUVÉDERM VOLIFT With Lidocaine for the Correction of Nasolabial Folds in Adults

August 27, 2026 updated by: AbbVie

A Prospective Multi-Center, Evaluator- and Subject- Blinded, Randomized Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of NOA LIFT Compared to JUVÉDERM VOLIFT With Lidocaine for the Correction of Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds (NLFs) are wrinkles that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. The goal of this study is to evaluate how safe and effective NOA LIFT is compared to JUVÉDERM VOLIFT with Lidocaine for correcting moderate to severe nasolabial folds in adults.

NOA LIFT and JUVÉDERM VOLIFT with Lidocaine are hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers being evaluated for the treatment of nasolabial folds. Participants are randomly placed into 1 of 2 treatment groups. There is a 2 in 3 chance that participants will be assigned to the NOA LIFT group and a 1 in 3 chance of being assigned to the VOLIFT group. Around 288 adult participants with moderate to severe nasolabial folds will be enrolled at multiple sites in China.

Participants will receive deep dermis injections of either NOA LIFT or JUVÉDERM VOLIFT. The study duration is approximately 12 months after the initial treatment.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care due to study procedures. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effects of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, vital signs, laboratory tests, vision assessments, checking for side effects, and completing questionnaires.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Responder Status Based on Evaluating Investigator's Live Assessment of Nasolabial Fold Severity Scale (NLFSS)
Time Frame: Month 6
The NLFSS is a validated 5-point scale used to assess the severity of nasolabial folds, where higher scores indicate more severe folds.
Month 6
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Time Frame: Up to approximately 13 months
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Up to approximately 13 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Responder Status Based on Evaluating Investigator's Assessment of Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) in Nasolabial Folds (NLFs)
Time Frame: Month 6
A responder is defined as a participant with improvement in the GAIS in NLF (defined as improved or much improved in GAIS). The GAIS is used to assess aesthetic improvement, with higher ratings indicating greater improvement.
Month 6
Percentage of Participants With Responder Status Based on Participant's Assessment of Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) in Nasolabial Folds (NLFs)
Time Frame: Month 6
A responder is defined as a participant with improvement in the GAIS in NLF (defined as improved or much improved in GAIS). The GAIS is used by participants to assess their own aesthetic improvement, with higher ratings indicating greater improvement.
Month 6
Change From Baseline in the Overall Score of FACE-Q - Appraisal of Lines: Nasolabial Folds
Time Frame: Up to Month 6
The FACE-Q - Appraisal of Lines: Nasolabial Folds is a patient-reported outcome measure assessing satisfaction with nasolabial fold appearance. Higher scores indicate better outcomes.
Up to Month 6
