About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Evaluator-Blind, Bilateral Comparison of an Injection Assistance Device Versus Manual Injections for Delivery of Dermal Fillers in Patients Seeking Aesthetic Correction of the Nasolabial Folds

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and performance in normal therapeutic use of the Artiste System in comparison to standard manual administration of dermal fillers. Subjects are recruited from the investigator's practice and randomized to receive treatment with the Artiste System on either the left or right nasolabial fold, the contralateral fold to be treated with standard manual injections. Treatments occur in a single session to achieve optimal cosmetic results (OCR) balanced on both sides. Investigators are encouraged to use a variety of types and brands of dermal fillers, recruiting subjects for the study as necessary. Safety and performance evaluations will be made through a combination of clinical observations, questionnaires for the subject and for the Treating Investigator, and spontaneous reports of adverse events. There are 6 required study visits: Screening, Day 1 (Treatment Day), Day 3, Day 8, Day 15, and Day 29.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, evaluator-blind, bilateral, controlled, multicenter study. Subjects are to be recruited from the investigator's practice and randomized to receive treatment with the Artiste System on either the left or right nasolabial fold, the contralateral fold to be treated with standard manual injections. Treatments will occur in a single session to achieve optimal cosmetic results (OCR) balanced on both sides. There are no specific requirements with respect to the type or brand of dermal filler to be used, but the investigators will be encouraged to use a variety of types and brands in the context of the study, recruiting subjects for the study as necessary. Safety and performance evaluations will be made through a combination of clinical observations (by a Blinded Evaluator distinct from the Treating Investigator), questionnaires for the subject and for the Treating Investigator, and spontaneous reports of adverse events. There will be a total of 6 required study visits: Screening, Day 1 (Treatment Day), Day 3, Day 8, Day 15, and Day 29.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Subdermal InjectionProcedure or surgery

    Injection of dermal filler

  • Artiste Assisted Injection SystemDevice

    The Artiste™ Assisted Injection System is an air-powered device used to assist clinicians in injecting fluids into the body. The Artiste System was designed specifically to assist in the delivery of dermal fillers for the aesthetic correction of facial wrinkles, folds, and scars.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Subdermal Injection and Artiste Assisted Injection System in people with Correction of Nasolabial Folds, run by TKL Research, Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Injection Site Reactions (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Dec 2011.
