What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Subjects With a ≥ 1-Grade Improvement From Day 1 in the Investigator Assessed Facial Wrinkle Scale of Glabellar Rhytides at Maximum Contraction

    The Investigator assessed the severity of the subject's glabellar rhytides at maximum contraction using the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe. The percentage of subjects with a ≥ 1-grade improvement from Day 1 is reported.

    Measured: Day 1, Day 30

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Subjects With a ≥ 1-Grade Improvement From Day 1 in the Investigator Assessed Facial Wrinkle Scale of Glabellar Rhytides at Maximum Contraction

    The Investigator assessed the severity of the subject's glabellar rhytides at maximum contraction using the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe. The percentage of subjects with a ≥ 1-grade improvement from Day 1 is reported.

    Measured: Day 1, Day 14, Day 90, Day 120

  2. Percentage of Subjects With a ≥ 1-Grade Improvement From Day 1 in the Subject Assessed Facial Wrinkle Scale of Glabellar Rhytides at Maximum Contraction

    The subject assessed the severity of his/her glabellar rhytides at maximum contraction using the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe. The percentage of subjects with a ≥ 1-grade improvement from Day 1 is reported.

    Measured: Day 1, Day 14, Day 30, Day 90, Day 120

  3. Percentage of Subjects With a ≥ 1-Grade Improvement From Day 1 in the Investigator Assessed Facial Wrinkle Scale of Glabellar Rhytides at Rest

    The Investigator assessed the severity of the subject's glabellar rhytides at rest using the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe. The percentage of subjects with a ≥ 1-grade improvement from Day 1 is reported.

    Measured: Day 1, Day 14, Day 30, Day 90, Day 120

  4. Percentage of Subjects With a ≥ 1-Grade Improvement From Day 1 in the Subject Assessed Facial Wrinkle Scale of Glabellar Rhytides at Rest

    The Subject assessed the severity of his/her glabellar rhytides at rest using the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe. The percentage of subjects with a ≥ 1-grade improvement from Day 1 is reported.

    Measured: Day 1, Day 14, Day 30, Day 90, Day 120

A Phase 4 study testing botulinum toxin Type A in people with Glabellar Rhytides, run by Allergan at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Subjects With a ≥ 1-Grade Improvement From Day 1 in the Investigator Assessed Facial Wrinkle Scale of Glabellar Rhytides at Maximum Contraction (time frame: Day 1, Day 30). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01814670, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
