Clinical trial NCT05456971: Evaluation of the Long Term Efficacy and Tolerability of ART FILLER® Volume and Lips
Official title: Evaluation of the Long Term Efficacy and Tolerability of ART FILLER® Volume and Lips, 2 Fillers Containing Hyaluronic Acid. Study ART FILLER 2
Study type: INTERVENTIONAL
Overall status: COMPLETED
Phase: NA
Conditions: Aging
Lead sponsor: Laboratoires FILLMED
Sponsor class: INDUSTRY

Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Intervention model description: Throughout the study period (18 months), only two products will be used for the aesthetic procedures (Art Filler® Volume and Art Filler® Lips). 100 subjects will be injected in order to have at least 100 midface regions and 100 lips treated and assessed at 3 or 6 weeks for the primary end point.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The function of injectable fillers for the treatment of dermal contour deformities is to smooth dermal depressions formed by the loss of volume. These fillers (also known as soft tissue augmentation devices) can restore the age-related volume loss of the face, balance the disproportions or correct topographical anomalies. Art Filler® Volume and Art Filler Lips are two hyaluronic-based fillers. Both contain 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride for its anaesthetic properties. The difference between the two devices lies in their viscosity, which must be adapted for the regions being treated and to restoring facial volumes. Midface for Art Filler® Volume and Lips for Art filler® Lips. On this background, a study is conducted to evaluate the long term efficacy and tolerability of Art Filler® Volume and Art Filler® Lips. It is a prospective, non-comparative, multicentre study with long term evaluation (18 months) of the tolerability and assessment of the efficacy of two devices containing hyaluronic acid intended for filling of lines and restoring volume to the face and lips.

Primary objective:

* Art Filler® Volume: To confirm the capacity of Art Filler® Volume to restore a midface volume 3 weeks after the first injection or after 6 weeks if a touch-up was performed at 3 weeks. For a given target area (right or left) volume restoration will be deemed to be satisfactory if the Medicis Midface Volume Scale (MMVS) score falls by at least 1 moint compared to the baseline score.
* Art Filler® Lips: To confirm the capacity of Art Filler® Lips to restore volume of the treated lip 3 weeks after the first injection or after 6 weeks if a touch-up was performed at 3 weeks. For each lip treated (upper or lower) volume restoration will be deemed to be satisfactory if the Medicis Lip Fullness Scale (MLFS) score falls by at least 1 point compared to the baseline score.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adult subjects not under legal protection who have given their written agreement to take part.
2. Men or women, 19 years old or older with no upper limit.
3. Fitzpatrick phototype, I, II, III or IV.
4. Middle 1/3 of the face (cheeks/cheek pads): Score 3 or 4 (moderate to substantial loss of volume in the middle 1/3 of the face) on Medicis Midface Volume Scale (MMVS) AND/OR Lips: Score of 1 to 2 (very thin to thin lips) on the Medicis Lip Fullness Scale (MLFS)
5. Subjects seen at least 12 months after any aesthetic surgery procedure to the face.
6. Subjects at least 12 months from any corrective aesthetic facial injection (botulin in toxin or any filling agent) in the study regions, i.e. 1/3 of the midface and peri-oral/lip region.
7. Subjects who are members of a social security system.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects who do not meet the selection criteria.

4. Subjects with skin support devices (tension wires, gold wires or weave) in their face.
5. Subjects who have received laser or ultrasound medical treatment, deep chemical peeling or dermabrasion to the face during the previous 3 months or intending to undergo such a treatment to the face during the study.
