Study Overview

Brief Summary

The objectives of this study are to explore the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous injections of Deoxycholic Acid relative to placebo, in the submental area in patients with mild or extreme fullness of the submental fat and ratings of 1 or 4.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male and female subjects, 18 to 65 years old
  • Stable Body weight
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) of ≤40.0 kg/m^2
  • Acceptable volume of submental fat graded by clinician
  • Dissatisfaction with the submental area expressed by the subject

Arms & Interventions

Placebo - Grade 1

Placebo Comparator

Participants received placebo administered in 0.2 mL subcutaneous (SC) injections, up to 10 mL per treatment session at intervals of approximately 1 month for up to a maximum of 6 treatments. Participants With CR SMFRS Grade 1 (mild).

Intervention: Placebo (Drug)

ATX-101 deoxycholic acid injection - Grade 1

Experimental

Participants received deoxycholic acid 2 mg/cm^2 administered in 0.2 mL SC injections, up to 10 mL per treatment session at intervals of approximately 1 month for up to a maximum of 6 treatments. Participants With Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR SMFRS) Grade 1 (mild).

Intervention: Deoxycholic Acid (Drug)

Placebo - Grade 4

Placebo Comparator

Participants received placebo administered in 0.2 mL SC injections, up to 10 mL per treatment session at intervals of approximately 1 month for up to a maximum of 6 treatments. Participants With CR SMFRS Grade 4 (extreme).

Intervention: Placebo (Drug)

ATX-101 deoxycholic acid injection - Grade 4

Experimental

Participants received deoxycholic acid 2 mg/cm^2 administered in 0.2 mL SC injections, up to 10 mL per treatment session at intervals of approximately 1 month for up to a maximum of 6 treatments. Participants with CR SMFRS Grade 4 (extreme).

Intervention: Deoxycholic Acid (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on Both the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS) and Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS) Assessments

Time Frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

The investigator evaluated the participant's chin and neck area using the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (a 5-point scale) where: 0=absent submental convexity (best) to 4= extreme submental convexity (worst). The participant evaluated their chin and neck area using the Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (a 5-point scale) where: 0=no chin fat at all (best) to 4= a very large amount of chin fat (worst).

Percentage of Participants With at Least a 2-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on Both the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS) and Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS) Assessments

Time Frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

The investigator evaluated the participant's chin and neck area using the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (a 5-point scale) where: 0=absent submental convexity (best) to 4= extreme submental convexity (worst). The participant evaluated their chin and neck area using the Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (a 5-point scale) where: 0=no chin fat at all (best) to 4= a very large amount of chin fat (worst).

Percentage of Participants With at Least a 2-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS)

Time Frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

The investigator evaluated the participant's chin and neck area using the CR-SMFRS 5-point scale where: 0=absent submental convexity (best) to 4= extreme submental convexity (worst).

Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS)

Time Frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

The participant evaluated their chin and neck area using the PR-SMFRS 5-point scale where: 0=no chin fat at all (best) to 4= a very large amount of chin fat (worst).

Percentage of Participants With at Least a 2-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS)

Time Frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

The participant evaluated their chin and neck area using the PR-SMFRS 5-point scale where: 0=no chin fat at all (best) to 4= a very large amount of chin fat (worst).

Change From Baseline in Submental Skin Laxity Grade Scale (SMSLG)

Time Frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

The SMSLG is an integration of three features: skin wrinkling, adherence to underlying neck structures (bone and muscle) and redundancy (horizontal and vertical folds). Each grade (1=none, 2=mild, 3=moderate and 4=severe) defines the maximal allowed limit for skin wrinkling, adherence to underlying structures and redundancy.

Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS)

Time Frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

The investigator evaluated the participant's chin and neck area using the CR-SMFRS 5-point scale where: 0=absent submental convexity (best) to 4= extreme submental convexity (worst).
