About this study

Official title: Phase III Open Label Clinical Trial to Assess Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Botulinum Toxin A (Xeomin®) in Treatment of Expression Wrinkles in the Upper Third of the Face

The purpose of this study is to determinate whether Xeomin® (Botulinum toxin Type A) is safe, effective and tolerable in woman aged 30 to 50 years old for treatment of mild, moderate or severe expression lines (wrinkles) in the upper third of the face. The main outcome was the change in appearance of the wrinkles two weeks (visit 3) after product application as compared with baseline assessment.

Read the detailed description

Ageing is a dynamic and unchangeable process involving all individuals and affecting the several organic systems. This process is expressed through multiple symptoms and signs, the wrinkles and flaccidity being the most common and visible ones.

In both developed and emerging countries, the interest in skin ageing is, to a greater extent, the result of the progressive increase in the absolute number and the proportion of people experiencing the ageing process in the last century. The psychosocial, as well as the physiological effects of the skin ageing raised a huge demand for a better understanding of this process and, in particular, of the effective interventions.

The use of the botulinum toxin type-A (BTX/A) for aesthetic indication emerged as a result of the clinical observation of those patients treated for facial different dystonia and who presented additional improvement of their expression lines.

The expression lines are most easily noted on the upper third of the face, where surgical treatments are fully invasive and show lesser noticeable results. The upper third of the face was targeted for BTX/A treatment and reported in several scientific literature articles as well succeeded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment Success

    Success has been defined as the reduction of any grade to a lower grade of expression wrinkles in the visit 3 (day 15) compared to the baseline assessment. The wrinkles will be classified according to the following: absence, mild, moderate, severe.

    Measured: Baseline (pre-treatment) and Visit 3 (Day 15)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Botulinum Toxin A in people with Skin Aging, run by Biolab Sanus Farmaceutica at 1 site in Brazil.

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 3 inclusion and 10 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 11 Dec 2015. 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 Brazil. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Dec 2010). 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?

Treatment Success (time frame: Baseline (pre-treatment) and Visit 3 (Day 15)). 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 11 Dec 2015.
