Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7292   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    Main objective of the trial

    There were five screening failures in this study: nasolabial folds not assessed as mild/moderate (n=3); signs/symptoms of eyelid ptosis/compensatory frontalis muscle activity (n=1); and active skin disease, inflammation or related conditions near/on areas to be treated (n=1).

    Yes

    Arm title
    Group A - Azzalure/Dysport as single treatment
    Arm description
    Subjects in Group a received treatment with ≤125 s.U Azzalure/Dysport as single treatment in upper facial lines (at least two of glabellar lines, crow’s feet, and/or forehead lines). At month 6 and 12, both groups received combined treatment consisting of ≤125 s.U Azzalure/Dysport in upper facial lines, ≤2 mL hyaluronic acid filler in nasolabial folds/cheeks and ≤1 mL Restylane Skinbooster. An additional Skinbooster treatment was given at Month 7.

    Routes of administration
    Intramuscular use
    Dosage and administration details
    Azzalure was used at the European sites and Dysport at the Brazilian site. Each vial with 125 s.U of Azzalure powder was reconstituted in 0.63 mL of NaCl 0.9% before injection (10 s.U per 0.05 mL of reconstituted solution). Each vial with 300 s.U of Dysport powder was reconstituted in 1.5 mL of NaCl 0.9% before injection (10 s.U per 0.05 mL of reconstituted solution). Group A received Azzalure/Dysport injection of at least two of the following upper facial lines: glabellar lines, crow’s feet, and/or forehead lines (maximum dose was 125 s.U). Touch-up treatment was allowed after 2 weeks, with a maximum of 125 s.U Azzalure/Dysport based on Investigator expertise and subject expectations.

    Arm title
    Group B - hyaluronic acid filler as single treatment
    Arm description
    Subjects in Group B received ≤1 mL hyaluronic acid filler in nasolabial folds/cheeks as single treatment. At month 6 and 12, both groups received combined treatment consisting of ≤125 s.U Azzalure/Dysport in upper facial lines, ≤2 mL hyaluronic acid filler in nasolabial folds/cheeks and ≤1 mL Restylane Skinbooster. An additional Skinbooster treatment was given at Month 7.

    Dosage and administration details
    A maximum of 1 mL (one syringe) of Restylane or Emervel filler was administered to nasolabial folds and/or cheeks at initial baseline treatment and a maximum of 2 mL was injected at Month 6 and Month 12.

    Notes
    [1] - The roles blinded appear inconsistent with a simple blinded trial.
    Justification: An open study designed served the study objectives adequately, but to strengthen the results, independent evaluators (assessors) remained blinded to the treatment arm and to the sequence of subject photographs, i.e. they did not know whether a given photograph was taken after the single or combined treatments.

    Global facial aesthetic appearance was analyzed using a 95% CI for the proportion of subjects for whom the photographs taken 1 month after first combined treatment showed superior global facial aesthetic appearance than the photographs taken after single treatment. This endpoint was considered as a primary endpoint at the Brazilian and French sites; the primary objective was to show that the 95% CI was above 50%. The Swedish amendment of the protocol did not define a primary endpoint.
