About this study

Official title: Open, Non-comparative, Multicentre Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the Performance and Safety of the Medical Device Jalucomplex® (Hyaluronic Acid-dermal Filler) in the Treatment of Facial and Neck Dermal Tissue Defects

The Research Question of the present study is the following: in a population of men and women presenting facial and neck dermal tissue defects (scars, hypertrophic scars, depressed plaques, and lipodystrophy defects) will linear hyaluronic acid (Jalucomplex®) significantly decrease and / or improve their appearance, results observed after 4 and 8 weeks?

Read the detailed description

Jalucomplex® action is to increase the volume of dermal-epidermal tissue, based on the natural ability of hydrophilic hyaluronic acid molecules to bind to an amount of water many times greater than their weight. This allows to fill the intradermal spaces and integrate the intercellular matrix, conferring turgidity to the tissues. Linear hyaluronic acid is a polymer that represents one of the essential components of human skin, subcutaneous and connective tissue; its ability to form complexes with water molecules increases the level of tissue hydration, turgidity and plasticity. These characteristics allow Jalucomplex® to be used as a temporary filler for subcutaneous areas to correct small defects in the dermal tissue due to lipodystrophies or the presence of fibrotic tissues as scars, caused by pathologies or trauma. Non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid generates a lower reactivity that crosslinked forms, biocompatibility of hyaluronic acid-based materials decreasing with an increase in the number of modifications to this polysaccharide

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Treatment satisfaction assessment by the patient

    To assess the patient satisfaction 4 and 8 weeks (28 and 56 days), providing their degree of satisfaction with the treatment on a four-point scale (very satisfied, satisfied, moderately satisfied, or not satisfied)

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Investigator Global Assessment of Safety (IGAS)

    To evaluate the global safety of product assessed by Investigator (IGAS), at week 8 (day 56), compared to Visit 1 (day 0), providing the safety on a four point scale from 4 meaning poor safety to 1 meaning very good safety.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Patient Global Assessment of Safety (PGAS).

    To evaluate the global safety of product assessed by the patient ( PGAS), at week 8 (day 56), compared to Visit 1 (day 0), providing the safety on a four point scale from 4 meaning poor safety to 1 meaning very good safety.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 2022. 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 Romania. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

POSAS score assessed by Investigator and patient (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05239351, which also lists 39 linked publications.

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.
