33 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The study will be a prospective, randomized, multi-center, split-face, controlled, double-blind clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ELLANSÉ®-S for the treatment of NLFs. Subjects will be randomized to receive treatment (ELLANSÉ®-S) in one NLF and control (Radiesse®) in the contralateral NLF. A total of 126 subjects will be treated. The control and test articles will be supplied in sterile ready-to-use, pre-filled syringes. Initial treatment and any 4-week touch-up will be done consistent with initial randomization. Any retreatment(s) in either NLF will be with ELLANSÉ®-S. Subjects who meet Inclusion/Exclusion criteria will receive an initial treatment, an optional touch up at the 4-week visit, and may be eligible to receive retreatment at either 12 or 18 months after treatment (determined by when the fold has returned to baseline score, or the fold has lost at least 1 point on the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) from optimal improvement). Retreatment to one side is allowed if only one side qualifies, but the other side may not be retreated at a later visit. If retreatment occurs, the subject may also be eligible to receive an optional touch up at the 4-week follow up visit. If a touch up occurs after the initial or retreatment injection, the subject will return for an additional safety visit 2 weeks after each injection. A week 4 safety visit will occur after retreatment touch-up. Primary effectiveness will be assessed at 6 months. All subjects will be followed for a minimum of 24 months after the initial treatment phase. After each injection, subjects will be contacted by telephone call/email after 72 hours and will return for a safety visit 2 weeks after treatment. At the week 4 visit, subjects will be assessed for a touch up. If a touch up is indicated as determined by the investigator, the investigator will use the same material as that used for initial treatment for the respective side. In addition, subjects will be seen at 6 weeks 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months (from the end of the initial treatment phase). Subjects receiving a retreatment (at 12 or 18 months after treatment) will return for additional safety visits at 2 weeks and 3 and 6 months after this retreatment (the 6 month coincides with regularly scheduled visit). Subjects will have the option of a retreatment touch up injection at 4 weeks after retreatment, and if they do will have another call at 72hrs and a week 2 safety visit. The validated Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale will be used for assessment of the primary effectiveness endpoint (1). Assessment of the secondary effectiveness endpoints will include use of WSRS, the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), VAS pain assessment, the validated FACE-Q Appraisal of Nasolabial Folds Questionnaire, the FACE-Q Satisfaction with Treatment Outcome Scale and the FACE-Q Age Appraisal VAS. The study will last approximately 30 months. All subjects will be recruited within approximately 6 months after the recruitment of the first subject and followed for a minimum of 24 months after the initial treatment visit. Subjects receiving a retreatment (at 12 or 18 months) will receive a telephone call/email 72 hours after retreatment and they will return for an additional safety visit 2 weeks after retreatment. Subjects may receive a retreatment touch up at 4 weeks after retreatment, and if touched up, will have safety visits at 2 and 4 weeks. All retreated subjects will also be asked to attend month 3 and month 6 safety visits. The 6-month safety visit will correspond with the next study visit (e.g., 18 month or 24-month visit depending on when they are reinjected) 126 male and female subjects will be enrolled. This enrollment number accounts for a 20% attrition rate, to ensure an adequate safety population for long-term follow-up, and a Per Protocol Set (PPS) of at least 101 NLFs per treatment arm. At least 20% of treated subjects will have Fitzpatrick Skin Types IV, V, and VI. Of these, at least, 10% will be Type IV, 5% Type V and 5% Type VI. The investigative sites will be encouraged to enroll both male and female subjects. In addition, up to 2 non-randomized, non-split-face run-in subjects will be treated with ELLANSÉ®-S by each investigator to allow the investigator to become familiar with injection characteristics. This run-in cohort will be required to meet all study inclusion/exclusion criteria and will be followed in the same manner as the non-run-in cohort. Up to seven US sites will participate.
Adult subjects with a history of or currently taking glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medication and moderate-to-severe cheek wrinkles and midface contour deficiencies will be treated with Sculptra correction of fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek area and Restylane Lyft or Restylane Contour for cheek augmentation and correction of midface contour deficiencies.
To assess and compare tissue aggregation and visualization of two Hyaluronic Acid fillers via ultrasound
This study will determine if HA dermal filler late occurring (\> 4 weeks and \<2 years) nodules are associated with bacterial contamination (independent of filler type) and to characterize the histological response.
To demonstrate non-inferiority of Kysse versus a control in lip fullness augmentation
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Radiesse® Injectable Dermal Filler for hand treatment.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and performance in normal therapeutic use of the Artiste System in comparison to standard manual administration of dermal fillers. Subjects are recruited from the investigator's practice and randomized to receive treatment with the Artiste System on either the left or right nasolabial fold, the contralateral fold to be treated with standard manual injections. Treatments occur in a single session to achieve optimal cosmetic results (OCR) balanced on both sides. Investigators are encouraged to use a variety of types and brands of dermal fillers, recruiting subjects for the study as necessary. Safety and performance evaluations will be made through a combination of clinical observations, questionnaires for the subject and for the Treating Investigator, and spontaneous reports of adverse events. There are 6 required study visits: Screening, Day 1 (Treatment Day), Day 3, Day 8, Day 15, and Day 29.
The face is arguably the most critical aesthetic unit of the body. As humans begin to age, numerous changes occur to the face. Changes include the formation of wrinkles, soft-tissue atrophy, gravitational descent resulting in sagging skin, loss of skin and muscle tone, and changes in bony architecture. These changes are potentiated in our population secondary to sun exposure and smoking. To combat the effects of aging on the face, a multitude of products and procedures exist to attempt to reverse the effects of sun damage and aging to achieve a youthful and rejuvenated appearance. There has been a shift from invasive procedures such as a facelift to noninvasive means using filling agents to restore lost contour deformities. The investigators hypothesis is that the use of dermal filling agents effectively delays the need for invasive procedures such as facelifts, and that patient satisfaction has increased with the evolution of recent dermal filling agents.
Purpose of the study: The overall goal of this study is to better understand patient experience with injectable facial fillers so that the investigators may provide the best results for their patients. To do this, the investigators are administering surveys to approximately 50 patients who have been treated by Dr. Anthony P Sclafani, MD, FACS. Participation: Participants will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire regarding their most recent treatment by Dr. Sclafani with a facial injectable filler. All responses will be analyzed anonymously.
To assess pain during nasolabial fold treatment using Radiesse® Injectable Dermal Filler mixed with lidocaine.
Post marketing study to assess the likelihood of hypertropic scarring, keloid formation and hyper- or hypopigmentation in patients with Fitzpatrick Skin Types IV, V, and VI receiving nasolabial fold treatment with Radiesse® Injectable Dermal Filler
This study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of Belotero® Soft compared to active comparator in the correction of mild facial wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds.
This was a study to find out how an investigational product, Belotero, compares to a second product in people with facial wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds. Nasolabial folds are wrinkles on the face that go from the outside of the nostrils to the edges of the mouth. Additionally, this study determined Belotero is safe and tolerable and corrects facial wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds.
The purpose of this study was to assess PREVELLE Shape (CX002), with respect to safety and efficacy for one year following treatment, for correction of facial nasolabial folds and when applied as an intradermal implant for lip augmentation.
Pliaglis® Cream versus compounded topical anesthetic for pain management during Restylane® injections for the correction of nasolabial folds.
Lipoatrophy is a condition that affects certain individuals, most commonly those who are infected with the HIV virus. Lipoatrophy however can also affect individuals who suffer from recurrent systemic infections, those who have a weakened immune system, or certain patients who suffer from cancer or receive chemotherapeutics. In contrast, lipoatrophy can sometimes be present in individuals who are perfectly healthy but have genetically predisposing factors that can contribute to facial emaciation or lipoatrophy. The function of injectable fillers for the treatment of dermal contour deformities is to smooth dermal depressions formed by the loss of volume. These often elastic contour fillers (also known as soft tissue augmentation devices) can correct hollowness around the eyes, add fullness to thin lips, balance a disproportionate face or correct topographical anomalies. This study aims to: * Objectively measure the improvement of contour-deformities after Sculptra™ injection from baseline to study closure by utilizing the Primos™ photographic/topographical measuring system. * Evaluate the efficacy, longevity and duration of volume-correction in subjects which are both HIV positive and HIV negative. * Assess the safety of Scupltra™ dermal filler when used to correct volume deformities caused by lipoatrophy in subjects that are HIV negative.
The goal of this prospective study is to analyze volumetric changes in the lower face after hyaluronic acid filler injections over 90 days. The main question it aims to answer is: To quantify volume change of the lower face area over time after injection of filler * Participants will receive hyaluronic acid filler injections (Juvéderm Volux XC) for contouring of the jawline. Each patient will receive FDA approved dosages of filler to the lower face region to treat facial contour or asymmetry, as per FDA approved indications. * Prior to injection patients will be imaged with 3-dimensional photogrammetry. Subjects will return post-injection in 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months for re-imaging.
The goal of this clinical trial is to measure the facial volumetric changes over time in patients injected with hyaluronic acid dermal filler (Juvéderm Volbella XC) in the infraorbital (under eye) region. Participants will be injected with Juvéderm Volbella XC filler and asked to return for 3D photography at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months post-injection.
This is a randomized, controlled, double-blinded, within-subject (split-face), multicenter, prospective study to investigate whether RHA® Redensity with new anesthetic agent is non-inferior to RHA® Redensity with lidocaine in terms of injection site pain felt by the subject during injection. At screening, the Principal Investigator (PI) evaluated subjects' perioral rhytid severity (using the Perioral Rhytid Severity Rating Scale; PR-SRS) to confirm eligibility and to establish a pre-treatment score for assessing aesthetic improvement. At Visit 1, RHA® Redensity with new anesthetic agent was administered in a random sequence (first or second injection) and side of the mouth (left or right) and RHA® Redensity with lidocaine was administered to the other side. Study subjects and the PI injecting study devices were blinded. Immediately after injection of an upper perioral quadrant, subjects rated the injection site pain experienced during injection using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Injection site pain in each side of the mouth was also assessed at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after injection of the upper quadrant. Safety evaluation consisted of AE assessments, a 30-day CTR (Common Treatment Response) diary and a follow-up call performed by the study site at 72 hours after injection. Subjects attended Visit 2 (30 days post-injection) where effectiveness and safety assessments were conducted. Subjects who presented with an unresolved clinically significant device related AE at Visit 2 received a optional follow-up phone call no later than 30 days after Visit 2. If the clinically significant AE remained unresolved, the Investigator requested that the subject attended the optional in-clinic follow-up visit (i.e., Visit 3) within 5 working days. Follow-up of the clinically significant AE continued until the AE was resolved or the TI determines that additional follow-up was not necessary.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of the injection of dermal filler on the quality of the skin dermal extracellular matrix in persons between the ages of 30-50 years. The quality of the dermal extracellular matrix will be assessed following injection of dermal filler compared to injection of saline vehicle.
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, blinded evaluator, multicenter, between subjects clinical study to identify whether RHA4 is non-inferior to a comparator device for treatment of midface volume deficiency 8 weeks after the last treatment (initial or touch-up). At Screening, the treating investigator (TI) and the Blinded Live Evaluator (BLE) will evaluate independently the subject's midface using the validated 5-grade Teoxane Midface Volume Deficit Scale (TMVDS) for eligibility of the subject for the study. The BLE will establish a pretreatment score for assessment of effectiveness. If the assessments of the TI and the BLE are the same or differ exactly by 1 point of the scale, the difference will be considered acceptable. The TI and the BLE need to agree that the subject meets the eligibility criterion (TMVDS grade 2 to 3). If the subject is eligible, the BLE's assessment will be used for the Baseline of the primary endpoint. Eligible subjects will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 3:1 ratio at Screening to receive RHA4 or comparator product. The TI will administer the fillers, and if necessary, subjects will receive a touch-up treatment with the same product that they received on Visit 1, 4 weeks after the initial treatment to optimize the results. If the touch-up treatment is administered, the subject will be asked to come to the site for an additional visit 4 weeks after the touch-up injection. Subjects will be followed for 52 weeks after their last treatment (initial treatment or touch-up), at which point, they will be offered re-treatment with RHA® 4, regardless of their original treatment, provided that the TI deems the treatment to be appropriate and the subject agrees. Reasons for not administering the re-treatment will be documented. The subject will then be followed for an additional 12 weeks before exiting the study. If the subject or the TI declines re-treatment, this visit (52 weeks after the last treatment) will be considered the study Exit visit. For subjects with re-treatment, the Exit visit will be 12 weeks after the re-treatment. The TI will conduct safety and effectiveness evaluations at each study visit, which will occur: at 4 weeks after the initial and touch-up treatment, 8, 24, and 52 weeks after the last treatment, and after re treatment or until all treatment-related ongoing adverse events (AEs) have resolved or resolved with sequelae as per TI judgment or if follow-up is no longer possible. A follow-up telephone call for safety will be performed 3 days after each treatment. Subjects will report their common treatment responses (CTRs) in a subject diary for 30 days after each injection. The diary will also include a list of selected AEs potentially associated with injection of dermal fillers for subjects to report if applicable. All efforts should be made by the TI to schedule the applicable visits to allow completion of the CTR diary. A BLE will conduct assessments of effectiveness during the study, including assessment of the primary endpoint 8 weeks after the last treatment. The BLE will be blinded to allocation to groups (RHA4 group or comparator product group). Furthermore, to ensure that they remain blinded and unbiased when making their assessments throughout the study, the BLE, TI, and subjects will not be allowed to refer to each other's effectiveness assessments. All subjects will be instructed to not discuss their study treatment, AEs, or CTRs with the BLE.
This is a randomized, controlled, single-blinded, within-subject (split-face), multicenter, prospective study to investigate whether RHA®4 injected in NLFs with a cannula is non-inferior to RHA®4 injected in NLFs with a sharp needle (27G x ½") for the correction of moderate to severe NLFs as determined by the Blinded Live Evaluator (BLE) using the Teoxyne NLF-WSRS (proprietary, validated NLF Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale) at 12 weeks from last treatment. At Visit 1 (Week 0), RHA®4 injected with cannula will be administered in a random sequence (first or second injection) and side of the face (left or right NLF) and RHA®4 injected with a sharp needle will be administered to the other side. The TI will administer study devices and will be unblinded to treatment allocation. Blinded assessments of effectiveness will be conducted by the BLE (Blinded Live Evaluator). 4 weeks following initial treatment, subjects will attend Visit 2 and receive, if necessary, touch-up treatments (using a needle or cannula as per the subject's initial treatment assignment). Subjects receiving touch-up treatments at Week 4 (Visit 2) will attend a new Visit 2b (4 weeks following touch-up treatment); subject not receiving touch-up treatment will not attend Visit 2b. After each injection (initial treatment or touch-up), subjects will receive a safety follow-up call from the study site within 3-day. Subjects will then attend scheduled in-office study visits at 8 (Visit 3) and 12 weeks (Visit 4) following last treatment (initial treatment or touch-up) where safety and effectiveness assessments will be conducted.
This is a multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, prospective, controlled clinical study to identify whether RHA® 3 is non-inferior to Restylane-L® for lip augmentation at Week 12 after the last treatment (initial or touch-up). At screening, the treating investigator (TI) will evaluate the subject's lip fullness using the validated Teoxane Lip Fullness Scale (5-grade) for eligibility of the subject for the study. At screening, the blinded live evaluator (BLE) will evaluate the subject's lip fullness using the TLFS to confirm eligibility and to establish a pre-treatment score for assessment of effectiveness. Enrolled subjects will be randomly assigned in a 3:1 ratio to either the RHA® 3 or the Restylane-L® treatment group. Subjects will be blinded to the study treatment. The TI will administer the fillers, and if necessary, subjects will receive a touch-up treatment 4 weeks after the initial treatment to optimize the results. If the touch-up treatment is administered, the subject will be asked to come to the site for an additional visit 4 weeks after the touch-up injection. The study duration was extended from 36 to 52 weeks once all subjects had already been enrolled. Nearly 60% of the subjects consented to extend the study to 52 weeks before being eligible for repeat treatment. All data are presented up to 52 weeks (as well as 4 more weeks follow-up after retreatment at 36 or 52 weeks). Subjects will be followed for 36 to 52 weeks after their last treatment (initial treatment or touch-up), at which point, they will be offered re-treatment with RHA® 3, regardless of their original treatment, provided that the TI deems the treatment to be appropriate and the subject agrees. Reasons for not administering the re-treatment will be documented. The subject will then be followed for an additional 4 weeks before exiting the study. If the subject or the TI declines re-treatment, this visit (36 or 52 weeks after the last treatment) will be considered the study Exit visit. For subjects with re-treatment, the Exit visit will be 4 weeks after the re-treatment. The TI will conduct safety and effectiveness evaluations at each study visit (up to 36 weeks or 52 (if applicable) weeks after the last treatment, and 4 weeks after re treatment) or until all treatment-related ongoing adverse events (AEs) have resolved or resolved with sequelae as per TI judgment or if follow-up is no longer possible.
Randomized, blinded, No-Treatment control, multi-center, prospective clinical study, to identify whether TEOSYAL RHA® Redensity is more effective than No-Treatment in the correction of moderate to severe dynamic perioral rhytids at Week 8 after last treatment (i.e., initial or touch-up treatment). The Treating Investigator (TI) at screening will evaluate the subject's perioral rhytids severity using the Perioral Rhytids Severity Rating Scale (PR-SRS) for eligibility of the subject for the study. The Blinded Live Evaluator (BLE) at screening will evaluate the subject's perioral rhytids severity using the PR-SRS in order to confirm eligibility and to establish a pre-treatment (Baseline) score for assessment of effectiveness. This is done independently of the TI, and exact concordance between the BLE and the TI is not necessary for eligibility of the subject in this study. Enrolled subjects will be randomized to either the TEOSYAL RHA® Redensity treatment group or the "No-Treatment" control group (ratio 3:1). The TI will administrate the study device, and if necessary, subjects will receive a touch-up treatment 14 days following the initial treatment to optimize the results. The TI will conduct safety and effectiveness evaluations at study visits, which occurred at Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 52 after the last treatment, (i.e., initial or touch-up treatment) and 4 weeks after a Repeat-Treatment. The Blinded Live Evaluator (BLE) will conduct assessments of effectiveness during the trial, including assessment of the primary endpoint at Week 8 after the last treatment (i.e., initial or touch-up treatment). The BLE will conduct effectiveness evaluations at Week 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 52 after the last treatment (i.e., initial or touch-up treatment). All subjects will be followed for 52 weeks after the last treatment (i.e., initial treatment or touch-up), at which point they will be offered Repeat-Treatment (provided that the TI deems the treatment to be appropriate and the subject agrees) and will be then followed for 4 weeks after Repeat-Treatment before exiting the study. If a subject returns to his pre-treatment PR-SRS score at Week 12 or Week 16 or Week 24 or Week 36 after initial treatment or touch up (as assessed by the TI), subjects are eligible for optional Early-Retreatment if necessary at 12 or 16 or 24 or 36 weeks after last treatment (provided that the TI deems the treatment appropriate, and the subject agrees). Subjects will be then followed for an additional 4 weeks after Repeat-Treatment. Subjects who will receive optional Early-Retreatment at Week 12 or Week 16 or Week 24 or Week 36 after the after initial treatment or touch-up, will be offered Repeat-Treatment at Week 52. Subjects randomized to the "No-Treatment" control group will receive their first treatment after the primary endpoint evaluation (Week 8 after randomization) and then will be followed the same schedule as the initial treatment group.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of Voluma and see what effects it has on HIV facial lipoatrophy. The hypothesis is that Voluma will be safe, efficacious and positively impact the quality-of-life in the treatment of facial lipoatrophy in patients with HIV.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of TEOSYAL® RHA Ultra Deep versus Perlane-L® in the treatment of moderate to severe nasolabial folds. This is a controlled, randomized, double-blinded, within subject (split-face), multicenter, prospective clinical study.
