Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Perfectha® Derm Lidocaine for the reduction of medium lines and depressions such as nasolabial folds (lines that form from the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines (lines that run vertically between the mouth and chin).

Who can participate?
Healthy people aged between 25 and 65 years with medium lines and depressions such as mild to moderate nasolabial folds and marionette lines

What does the study involve?
The Perfectha Derm Lidocaine dosage given depends on the participant and their wrinkle severity (up to 3 ml of products per area and per side of the face can be used). The product will be administered by subcutaneous injection (under the skin). One initial injection will be done on the first visit and a touch-up injection (not mandatory) can be done at the follow-up visit of Month 1. Several follow-up visits will be carried out on day 14, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months after the treatment to assess the safety and effectiveness of the injection.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The expected possible benefits are the aesthetic improvement of nasolabial folds and or marionette lines, and an aesthetic improvement of the face.

Where is the study run from?
Eurofins Dermscan Pharmascan (France)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
July 2022 to November 2023

Scientific titleClinical study for the safety and effectiveness of the use of Perfectha® Derm lidocaine in the treatment of medium lines and depressions
Study hypothesisThe proportion of subjects having an improvement on the Global Aesthetic Improvement scale (GAIS) on the primary treated area 3 months after treatment is statistically superior to 66%.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 03/11/2022, comité de protection des personnes Ile de France I (Hôpital Hôtel Dieu - 1, place du Parvis Notre Dame, 75004, Paris, France; +33 (0)142348052; cppidf1.htd@aphp.fr), ref: CPPIDF1-2022-DI-81 IC-Cas 4.1
ConditionMild to medium lines and depressions (mild to moderate nasolabial folds) and shallow to moderate marionette lines
Intervention1. 35 subjects minimum for group 1 with nasolabial fold (NLF) treatment
2. 35 subjects minimum for group 2 with marionette lines (ML) treatment
A subject can be included in both groups

The Perfectha Derm Lidocaine dosage given depends on the treated subject and their wrinkle severity (up to 3 ml of products per area and per side of the face can be used). The product will be administered by subcutaneous injection. One initial injection on the D0 visit will be done and a touch-up injection (not mandatory) can be done at the follow-up visit of Month 1. Follow-up will be done until Month 9 after the initial injection. No randomisation process.

PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Perfectha Derm Lidocaine
Primary outcome measureAesthetic Improvement is measured using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) evaluated by an independent live assessor 3 months after treatment (M3)
Secondary outcome measures1. Aesthetic improvement is measured using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) evaluated by a live assessor 1 month (M1), 6 (M6) and 9 months (M9) after treatment
2. Aesthetic improvement is measured using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) evaluated by the subjects at M1, M3, M6 and M9
3. Improvement of treated areas is measured using Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) and/or Marionette Lines Grading Scale (MLGS) scale evaluated by an independent live assessor at baseline, M1, M3, M6 and M9
4. Improvement of treated areas is measured using WSRS and/or MLGS scale evaluated by a blinded assessor on photographs at baseline, M1, M3, M6 and M9
5. Subject satisfaction is measured using an internal questionnaire at baseline, M1, M3, M6 and M9
6. Injector satisfaction is measured using an internal questionnaire after injection at D0 and M1
7. Procedural pain is measured using a 0 to 10 points pain scale at D0 and M1 after injection
8. Safety is measured using injection site reactions (ISR) rated by a live assessor and by the subjects and by collection of adverse events after treatment, at M1, M3, M6 and M9
