Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BELKYRA® and Juvéderm® VOLUMA™ with LidocaineExperimentalBELKYRA® was injected into subcutaneous preplatysma fat tissue in the submental area (at least 1 plus up to 5 optional treatments, for maximum of 6 treatments 8 weeks apart). When the investigator and participant agreed that no further intervention was required to achieve the desired result, participants were eligible to receive VOLUMA™ treatment. VOLUMA™ was injected along the mandibular border, with an optional touch-up visit 2 weeks later if applicable.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Showed ≥ 1-point Jawline Improvement From Baseline on the Allergan Loss of Jawline Definition Scale (ALJDS), as Assessed by the Investigator

    The ALJDS was an investigator assessment of loss of jawline definition measured by a 5-point scale where: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=extreme. Data is reported for both sides of the face, right side of the face and left side of the face.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline to Last BELKYRA® Treatment on the ALJDS

    The ALJDS was an investigator and independent reviewer assessment of jawline contour measured by a 5-point scale where: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=extreme. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement. The data is reported for both sides of the face, right side of the face and left side of the face.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Last Treatment (Up to Week 48)

  2. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit in the FACE-Q™ Satisfaction With Lower Face and Jawline Score

    The participant assessed satisfaction using the 5 items on the Satisfaction of Lower Face and Jawline module of the FACE-Q™ questionnaire, measured on a 4-point scale where: 1=very dissatisfied, 2=somewhat dissatisfied, 3=somewhat satisfied, 4=very satisfied. The Rasch transformed scale total score was 0 (worst) to 100 (best). A positive change from baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

  3. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit in the FACE-Q™ Appraisal of Neck

    The participant assessed satisfaction using the 10 items on the Appraisal of Neck module of the FACE-Q™ questionnaire measured on a 4-point scale where: 1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=moderately, 4=extremely. The Rasch transformed scale total score was 0 (worst) to 100 (best). A positive change from baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

  4. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit for FACE-Q™ Appraisal of Area Under Chin

    The participant assessed satisfaction using the 5 items on the Appraisal of Area Under Chin module of the FACE-Q™ questionnaire measured on a 4-point scale where: 1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=moderately, 4=extremely. The Rasch transformed scale total score was 0 (worst) to 100 (best). A negative change from baseline indicated worsening.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

  5. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit for Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS)

    The CR-SMFRS score was based on the investigator's clinical evaluation of the participant, where submental fullness was scored on a 5-point scale where: 0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, and 4=extreme. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

  6. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit for Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS)

    The PR-SMFRS was based on the participant's response to the question "How much fat do you have under your chin right now?" and answered on a 5-point ordinal scale where: 0=no chin fat at all, 1=a slight amount of chin fat, 2=a moderate amount of chin fat, 3=a large amount of chin fat, and 4=a very large amount of chin fat. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

  7. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit for Submental Skin Laxity Grade (SMSLG) Score

    The SMSLG scale integrated 3 skin features: skin wrinkling, adherence to underlying neck structures (bone and muscle), and redundancy (horizontal and vertical folds) assessed by the investigator using a 4-point scale where: 1=none, 2=mild, 3=moderate and 4=severe. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

  8. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit in Jawline Definition, Based on Independent Reviewer Assessment Using the ALJDS and Photographic Images

    The independent reviewer used photographic images collected at the time of the participant's live visit and the ALJDS to assess of loss of jawline definition using a 5-point scale where: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=extreme. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing BELKYRA® and Juvéderm® VOLUMA™ with Lidocaine in people with Contour, run by Allergan at 3 sites in Australia.

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 17 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 31 Dec 2020. 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 Australia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Dec 2020). 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?

Percentage of Participants Who Showed ≥ 1-point Jawline Improvement From Baseline on the Allergan Loss of Jawline Definition Scale (ALJDS), as Assessed by the Investigator (time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58). 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 31 Dec 2020.
