To assess the safety and efficacy of IPN10200 compared with placebo in improving the appearance of moderate to severe lines (GL,FHL, LCL) as measured by the Investigator’s Live Assessment (ILA) and Subject’s Self-assessment (SSA) at maximum contraction at Day 29. |
|

Male and female participants (only female for dose escalation) Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. • Male participants: Male participants must agree that, if their partner is at risk of becoming pregnant, they will use an effective method of contraception. The participants must agree to use the contraception during the whole period of the study and for 12 weeks after the study intervention injection. • Female participants: o A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and one of the following conditions applies: -Is a woman of non-childbearing potential (WONCBP) as defined in Appendix 4 Contraception and Barrier Guidance. OR -Is a WOCBP and using an acceptable contraceptive method as described in Appendix 4: Contraceptive and Barrier Guidance during the study intervention period (at a minimum until after the last dose of study intervention). The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (e.g., noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study intervention o A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test at Baseline ([urine or serum]) as required by local regulations). Non-childbearing potential is defined as postmenopausal for at least 1 year; surgical sterilisation at 3 months before entering the study; or hysterectomy. -If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (e.g. an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive. o Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study intervention are located in Section 8.3.5. o The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy Informed Consent 10. Capable of giving signed informed consent as described in Appendix 1 which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol. Other Inclusions 11. Participant has both the time and the ability to complete the study and comply with study instructions. 12. Does not reside in an institution by administrative or court order. 13. Is not a sponsor employee or clinical research unit personnel directly affiliated with the study or is not an immediate family member. Immediate family is defined as a spouse, parent, child or sibling whether biological or legally adopted.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: Medical Conditions 1. An active infection or other skin problems in the upper face including the GL, FHL, and LCL area (e.g. acute acne lesions or ulcers). 2. A history of eyelid blepharoplasty or brow lift within the past 5 years 3. A history of facial nerve palsy. 4. Marked facial asymmetry, ptosis, excessive dermatochalasis, deep dermal scarring, or thick sebaceous skin. 5. Any known medical condition that may put the participant at increased risk in regard to exposure to BoNT of any serotype (i.e. myasthenia gravis, Eaton-Lambert syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, etc.) 6.a Has COVID-19 illness or a positive SARS-CoV-2 test, or the presence of any other condition (e.g. neuromuscular disorder or other disorder that could interfere with neuromuscular function), laboratory finding or circumstance that, in the judgement of the investigator, might increase the risk to the participant or decrease the chance of obtaining satisfactory data to achieve the objectives of the study. Prior/concomitant Therapy 7. Previous treatment with any BoNT serotype (for dose-escalation only) or any recent treatment (within the past 6 months prior to Baseline) with any BoNT serotype. 8. Any prior treatment with permanent fillers in the upper face including the GL, FHL and LCL area. 9. Any prior treatment with long lasting dermal fillers in the upper face including the GL area within the past 3 years and/or skin abrasions/resurfacing (whatever the interventional technic used) within the past 5 years, or photo rejuvenation or skin/vascular laser intervention within the 12 months prior to Baseline. 10. Any planned facial cosmetic surgery during the study. 11. Use of concomitant therapy which, in the investigator’s opinion, would interfere with the evaluation of the safety or efficacy of the study intervention, including medications affecting bleeding disorders (e.g. antiplatelet agents and/or anticoagulants given for treatment or prevention of cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases). 12. Use of medications that affect neuromuscular transmission, such as curare-like non depolarising agents, lincosamides, polymyxins, anticholinesterases and aminoglycoside antibiotics, within the past 30 days prior to Baseline. Prior/concurrent Clinical Study Experience 13.
