Evaluation of Patient and Physician Satisfaction With the Zift eLevatIon of Facial Tissue Clinical Study

Not Applicable

Terminated

• Conditions: Senile Ptosis
• Interventions: Device: Brow Lift

• Registration Number: NCT03055819
• Lead Sponsor: Zift, LLC

Brief Summary

The LIFT study will document the first clinical use of the ZiftLift Tissue Anchor in a browlift for patients with age-related brow ptosis. It is a single arm, open label multicenter study, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Zift Lift System. Up to 20 subjects in up to 3 sites will be enrolled in this study. Data from this trial will be used to confirm the device safety and efficacy and provide inputs to further refine the device design and procedure technique for future device iterations

Detailed Description

The LIFT study will document the first clinical use of the ZiftLift Tissue Anchor in a browlift for patients with age-related brow ptosis. It is a single arm, open label multicenter study, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Zift Lift System. Up to 20 subjects in up to 3 sites will be enrolled in this study. Data from this trial will be used to confirm the device safety and efficacy and provide inputs to further refine the device design and procedure technique for future device iterations Subjects with signed informed consents and who meet all the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria and are treated with the device will be considered enrolled in the study. An interim report will be created after the first 20 patients has completed their 90 follow up and the data monitored. The 20 patients, 90 day report may be submitted to FDA and other agencies for product clearance and registrations. After FDA clearance has been obtained, the study may be converted to a post-market study for the long term follow up.
