Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Responders With At Least "Improved" on the Wrinkle Assessment Scale (WAS)

    The WAS is a validated photograph-based outcome instrument that is designed specifically for quantifying facial folds. Scoring of fold severity is based on visual assessment of the length and apparent depth of the wrinkle at a certain time-point. Scoring of the upper perioral rhytids and oral commissures was based on visual live assessment by the investigator at defined time points; by using respective categorical scale ranging from Grade 0 to 5 where: grade 0 or 'No wrinkles', (1) 'Just perceptible wrinkle', (2) 'Shallow wrinkles', (3) 'Moderately deep wrinkle', (4) 'Deep wrinkle, well-defined edges', (5) 'Very deep wrinkle, redundant fold', higher grade represented higher fold severity. Responder was defined as a participant with at least a 1-point improvement from baseline.

    Measured: At Weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48

  2. Percentage of Participants With At Least "Improved" on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) as Assessed by Treating Investigator at Weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48

    The GAIS is a 7-point categorical scale ranging from -3 (Very Much Worse) to +3 (very much improved), used by the Treating Investigator to assess changes in the appearance of participants' lips following treatment by responding to the question: "With respect to the appearance of the participant's lips, how would you describe the result of the lip treatment compared to the photos taken before treatment?" by using the respective categorical scale as follows: Very Much Improved, Much Improved, Improved, No Change, Worse, Much Worse, Very Much Worse. In this outcome measure, percentage of participants who achieved at least 'Improved' on the GAIS assessed by treating investigator at Weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48 were reported.

    Measured: At Weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Restylane Kysse in people with Lip Augmentation, run by Galderma R&D 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 2025. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Dec 2025). 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 Assessed as At Least 1-point Improvement From Baseline on Medicis Lip Fullness Scale (MLFS) (time frame: At Week 8). The study lists 12 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 22 Dec 2025.
