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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and effects of onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX) for the temporary improvement in the appearance of platysma prominence. Study doctors randomized subjects into 1 of the 2 groups, called treatment arms. There was a 1 in 2 chance that a subject was assigned to placebo. Approximately 400 subjects were to be enrolled in the study across approximately 35 sites in USA, Belgium, Canada, Germany and the UK. Subjects received a single treatment of intramuscular injection of onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX) or placebo on Day 1 during this 4 month long study. Subjects attended regular monthly visits during the study at the study site.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 426 subjects were enrolled and randomized into the study (ITT Population); 209 to BOTOX and 217 to placebo. A total of 208 subjects were treated with BOTOX and 216 subjects were treated with placebo (Safety Analysis Set). A total of 381 subjects were included in the modified ITT (mITT) Population; 186 to BOTOX and 195 to placebo.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 The mITT Population (N=381) included all randomized subjects with a baseline summary score ≥ 19 on the ANLFQ: Impacts questionnaire and was used for the reported efficacy analyses. The Safety Analysis Set (N=424) included all subjects treated with at least 1 dose of study drug and was used for all safety analyses.
