Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The cumulative effect of aging and environmental exposures (ie, ultraviolet, infrared, and visible light radiation and pollution) leads to wrinkles, discoloration, laxity, and roughness of sun exposed skin. The rapid restoration of soft tissue augmentation is commonly achieved by the use of dermal fillers. HArmonyCa Lidocaine injectable gel is a dermal filler intended for facial soft tissue augmentation. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and effectiveness of HArmonyCa Lidocaine injectable gel in adults seeking mid face soft tissue augmentation.

HArmonyCa Lidocaine Injectable Gel is an investigational device being developed for soft tissue augmentation in the mid face. Participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. There is a 1 in 3 chance that participants will be assigned to the control group. Around 160 adult participants seeking soft tissue augmentation will be enrolled in the study at approximately 15 sites worldwide.

Participants in the treatment group will receive HArmonyCa Lidocaine injectable gel at Day 1 and followed for up to 25 Months. Participants will have the opportunity to receive optional touch-up and optional repeat treatment of HArmonyCa Lidocaine injectable gel during the follow-up duration period. Participants in the control group are followed for 3 months and then can opt to receive HArmonyCa Lidocaine Injectable Gel at the end of month 3. The control group will participate in the study for up to 25 months.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: HArmonyCa Lidocaine Injectable Gel

Participants will receive HArmonyCa Lidocaine Injectable Gel on Day 1 and followed for up to 25 months. Participants will have the opportunity to receive optional touch-up and optional repeat treatment of HArmonyCa Lidocaine injectable gel during the follow-up duration period.

Device: HArmonyCa Lidocaine Injectable Gel
Subdermal or deep dermal injection

Device: HArmonyCa Lidocaine Injectable Gel
Subdermal or deep dermal injection

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving "Responder" Status for Evaluating Investigator's (EI) live assessment of Mid Face Volume Deficit Scale (MFVDS) [Month 3]

    A "responder" is a participant with at least 1- grade improvement (reduction) of mid face soft tissue deficit using the MFVDS. MFVDS is a validated 6-point scale (0 = None, 5 = Severe).

  2. Number of Participants with Adverse Events [Up to 25 Months]

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study drug.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving "Responder" Status for EI's Live Assessment of Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). [Month 3]

    A "responder" is a participant who achieves improved or much improved on GAIS. GAIS is a 5-point scale used to assess global aesthetic improvement of the cheek area (2=Much Improved, -2=Much Worse).

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving "Responder" Status for Participant Assessment of Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). [Month 3]

    A "responder" is a participant who achieves improved or much improved on GAIS. GAIS is a 5-point scale used to assess global aesthetic improvement of the cheek area (2=Much Improved, -2=Much Worse).

  3. Change from baseline on overall score in FACE-Q Satisfaction with cheeks specific questionnaire [Month 3]

    In the FACE-Q Satisfaction with Cheeks questionnaire, the responses will be summed and converted to a Rasch-transformed score that ranges from 0 to 100.

  4. Change from baseline on overall score in FACE-Q Satisfaction with lower face and jawline specific questionnaire [Month 3]

    In the FACE-Q Satisfaction with lower face and jawline specific questionnaire, the responses will be summed and converted to a Rasch-transformed score that ranges from 0 to 100.

  5. Change from baseline on overall score in FACE-Q Satisfaction with appearance specific questionnaire [Month 3]

    In the FACE-Q Satisfaction with appearance specific questionnaire, the responses will be summed and converted to a Rasch-transformed score that ranges from 0 to 100.
