About this study

Official title: A Multi Center, Non-comparative Clinical Study to Evaluate the Correction of Facial Wrinkles and Folds and Safety After Rhytidectomy Using Non-absorbable Mesh(RPM)

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational device, RPM,non-absorbable polypropylene mesh made by D Med, in correction of Nasolabial fold.

Study hypothesis

  • level of significance: alpha=0.05( two-side)
  • power of test: (power= 1-beta),power=0.08
  • H0: P equals P0
  • H1: P unequals P0
  • The difference between the changes in the WSRS(Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale) of the pre and post rhytidectomy from baseline at 7week after administration is 0.237( P-P0= 0.237)
Read the detailed description
  1. Benefits
  • enhancing self-satisfaction and quality of life by improving skin elasticity and correcting folds in the nasolabial fold area 2. Risks
  • erythema, swelling, pain and redness in the facial area generally resolve in 1 week 3.Duration of study
  • entire duration: approximate 36weeks
  • Follow-up period: 7 weeks
  • Enrollment period: 12 weeks 4. study design
  • 2 step operation process
  • First step- insert polypropylene mesh under the skin
  • Second step- pull the polypropylene mesh 3 weeks later

What is being measured

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

  1. The change in the WSRS(Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale) of the pre and post rhytidectomy from baseline at 7week after administration

    The efficacy is assessed by the severity of the fold determined by the WSRS assessed by the investigator with photos WSRS(Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale)is be evaluated from 1 to 5 according to the severity of wrinkles

    (1= no visible fold, 5= extremely deep and long fold)

    Measured: change in the WSRS from baseline at7 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The changes in the satisfaction of the pre and post rhytidectomy from baseline at 7week after administration

    The changes in the satisfaction(VAS-visual analog scale) of the pre and post rhytidectomy from baseline at 7week after administration VAS(visual analog scale)is to be evaluated from 0 to 100 by the participant ( 0= no wrinkle, 100= severe wrinkle)

    Measured: Changes Satisfaction from baseline at 7week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non-absorbable polypropylene mesh in people with Nasolabial Fold, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

The change in the WSRS(Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale) of the pre and post rhytidectomy from baseline at 7week after administration (time frame: change in the WSRS from baseline at7 week). 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.
