What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From 6 Months to Baseline in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Pain After 15 Minutes of Sitting

    Pain at sitting was evaluated using a 100 mm VAS with the descriptors 0 = "no pain" to the left and 100 = "worst possible pain" to the right. Pain was assessed by the subject after sitting 15 minutes on a standardized chair. The VAS pain at 6 months was compared to baseline and the change was calculated.

    Measured: 6 months after treatment compared to baseline

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change From up to 18 Months to Baseline in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Pain After 15 Minutes of Sitting

    Pain at sitting was evaluated using a 100 mm VAS with the descriptors 0 = "no pain" to the left and 100 = "worst possible pain" to the right. Pain was assessed by the subject after sitting 15 minutes on a standardized chair. The change in VAS pain was assessed at the time points 1, 3, 9, 12 and 18 months compared to baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 18 months after treatment

  2. Quality of Life Assessed by MOS-HIV (Medical Outcome Study-HIV) Questionnaire

    A physical health summary score and a mental health summary score was generated on a rating scale of 0 to 100 where higher scores indicate better health. The change in health summary scores were assessed at the time points 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months compared to baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and at 6 months after treatment

  3. Number of Participants With Global Esthetic Improvement

    Number of participants maintaining an improvement compared to baseline using the Global Esthetic Improvement Scale (GEIS) consisting of 5 grades (worse/no change/improved/much improved/very much improved), where the three latter indicates improvement. GEIS was assessed at the time points 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months compared to pre-treatment photos.

    Measured: One month and up to 18 months after treatment

  4. Number of Participants With Gel Displacement Evaluated by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    MRI was performed at baseline and at 1, 6, 9, and 12 months to determine the implant volume, thickness, localization and the possible local displacement of the implant. At the 6, 9 and 12 month visits any displacement was evaluated with MRI by comparison to the 1-month position of the gel. The number of participants with gel displacement are shown below.

    Measured: 12 months after treatment

  5. Adverse Event Recording

    Adverse events (AEs) were collected by open questioning, investigator findings, spontaneous reports and by direct questioning in the Case Report Form (CRF).

    Measured: Up to 18 months after treatment

  6. Time Until it Became Impossible to Stay Sitting

    Evaluation of when (in minutes) it became impossible for the subject to stay in the sitting position on a standardized chair, at the time points 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months compared to baseline. In this analysis "more than 60 minutes" was handled as 60 minutes.

    Measured: Baseline and at 6 months after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Macrolane VRF 30 in people with Atrophy, run by Galderma R&D at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Dec 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From 6 Months to Baseline in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Pain After 15 Minutes of Sitting (time frame: 6 months after treatment compared to baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Sep 2022.
