Primary Endpoint
The primary objective of the study is to investigate changes in gene expression patterns that occur during the aging process. A significant fold change in differential gene expression will be >1.5 and an adjusted p-value of <0.05.

Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study is a blinded, prospective, single-center, clinical study conducted in Japanese female subjects between the ages of 20-75 years. This design uses skin biopsy samples from environmentally exposed areas and unexposed (control) areas within the same subjects to assess the gene expression profile from three different age groups.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of the skin aging study is to investigate changes in gene expression patterns that occur during the aging process.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The primary objective of the study is to investigate changes in gene expression patterns that occur during the aging process. A significant fold change in differential gene expression will be >1.5 and an adjusted p-value of <0.05.

Time Frame: 1 year

Secondary Outcomes

  • Secondary outcome measures are the evaluation of genetic expression changes in sun-protected and sun-exposed skin and an investigation of their biological pathways.(1 year)
