A Study to Assess the Adverse Events and Effectiveness of BOTOX Injections for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Forehead Lines in Chinese Adult Participants

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Forehead Lines
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT06174688
Lead Sponsor
AbbVie
Brief Summary

Facial lines (such as glabellar lines \[GL\], lateral canthal lines \[LCL\], and forehead lines \[FHL\]) are perhaps the most visible signs of aging. Hyperfunctional facial lines that develop from repeated facial expression may be treated by selectively weakening specific muscles with small quantities of botulinum toxin. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and effectiveness of BOTOX in Chinese adults with moderate to severe FHL.

Participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Around 140 adult participants with moderate to severe FHL will be enrolled in the study.

Participants in the treatment group will receive intramuscular injections on Day 1 and followed for up to 180 Days.

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 the study site. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants who Achieved 'None' or 'Mild' on FWS-A According to the Participant Assessment of FHL SeverityDay 30

The participant assesses FHL severity using the FWS-A 4-point scale ranging from 0=None to 3=Severe.

Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)Day 180

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.

Percentage of Participants who Achieved 'None' or 'Mild' on Facial Wrinkle Scale with Asian Photonumeric Guide (FWS-A) According to the Investigator Assessment of Forehead Lines (FHL) SeverityDay 30

The investigator assesses FHL severity using the FWS-A 4-point scale ranging from 0=None to 3=Severe.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants who Achieved at least 2-Grade Improvement from Baseline on FWS-A According to the Participant Assessment of FHL SeverityBaseline to Day 30

The participant assesses FHL severity using the FWS-A 4-point scale ranging from 0=None to 3=Severe.

Percentage of Participants with Responder Status of 'Very Satisfied' or 'Mostly Satisfied' on Satisfaction with Natural Look on the FLSQ follow up Item 4Day 30

The FLSQ consists of 13 questions that assess treatment satisfaction and psychosocial impact. Participants assessed their satisfaction with FHL using the FLSQ 5-point scale ranging from -2=Very dissatisfied to 2=Very satisfied.

Percentage of Participants who Achieved at least 1-Grade Improvement from Baseline on FWS-A According to the Investigator Assessment of FHL SeverityBaseline to Day 30

The investigator assesses FHL severity using the FWS-A 4-point scale ranging from 0=None to 3=Severe.

Percentage of Participants who Achieved at least 2-Grade Improvement from Baseline on FWS-A According to the Investigator Assessment of FHL SeverityBaseline to Day 30

The investigator assesses FHL severity using the FWS-A 4-point scale ranging from 0=None to 3=Severe.

Percentage of Participants with Responder Status of 'Very Satisfied' or 'Mostly Satisfied' on Satisfaction with Treatment on the Facial Line Satisfaction Questionnaire (FLSQ) follow up Item 5Day 60

The FLSQ consists of 13 questions that assess treatment satisfaction and psychosocial impact. Participants assessed their satisfaction with FHL using the FLSQ 5-point scale ranging from -2=Very dissatisfied to 2=Very satisfied.

Percentage of Participants who Achieved at Least a 20-Point Psychosocial Impact Improvement from Baseline on the FLSQ Impact DomainBaseline to Day 30

The FLSQ consists of 13 questions that assess treatment satisfaction and psychosocial impact. Participants assessed their satisfaction with FHL using the FLSQ 5-point scale ranging from -2=Very dissatisfied to 2=Very satisfied.
