Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With ResponseBaseline and at 8 weeksAssessment of lip fullness augmentation after treatment with Restylane, as compared to no treatment, at week 8 as compared to baseline assessment. Response was determined by at least one grade improvement from baseline in the upper and lower lips using the Medicis Lip Fullness Scale (MLFS). The MLFS is a 5 number scale with grading: (1) Very Thin, (2) Thin (3) Medium (4) Full and (5)Very Full.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With a ResponseBaseline and at weeks 12, 16, 20 and 24Assessment of lip fullness augmentation after treatment with Restylane, as compared to no treatment, at post-baseline time points as compared to baseline assessment. Response was determined by at least one grade improvement from baseline in the upper and lower lips using the Medicis Lip Fullness Scale (MLFS). The MLFS is a 5 number scale with grading: (1) Very Thin, (2) Thin (3) Medium (4) Full and (5)Very Full.

Recruitment details

Date of first enrollment: July 20, 2009 Date last subject completed: June 1, 2010 180 subjects enrolled from 12 investigational centers

Pre-assignment details

Subjects with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I, II or III (lighter skin types) needed both lips to be assessed as very thin or thin to meet enrollment criteria. Subjects with Fitzpatrick Skin Types IV, V or VI (darker skin types) need at least one lip to be assessed as very thin or thin to meet enrollment criteria.

ArmCount
Treatment With Restylane
Restylane is composed of a clear, colorless and transparent gel in sterile 1.0 mL syringes. It is supplied with a sterilized 30G x ½ inch needle. The number of syringes used depends on the amount needed to achieve optimal lip augmentation. Optimal lip augmentation is defined as the best possible aesthetic result that can be obtained. Treatment will occur on day 1, with an optional 2 week touch-up at the investigator's and patient's discretion.

Outcome results

Primary

Percentage of Participants With Response

Assessment of lip fullness augmentation after treatment with Restylane, as compared to no treatment, at week 8 as compared to baseline assessment. Response was determined by at least one grade improvement from baseline in the upper and lower lips using the Medicis Lip Fullness Scale (MLFS). The MLFS is a 5 number scale with grading: (1) Very Thin, (2) Thin (3) Medium (4) Full and (5)Very Full.

Time frame: Baseline and at 8 weeks

Population: Analysis was ITT; Sample size based upon a one-sided Fisher's Exact test with alpha = 0.05; Subjects with a missing Blinded Evaluator assessment as Week 8 were imputed using the hot deck method

Percentage of Participants With a Response

Assessment of lip fullness augmentation after treatment with Restylane, as compared to no treatment, at post-baseline time points as compared to baseline assessment. Response was determined by at least one grade improvement from baseline in the upper and lower lips using the Medicis Lip Fullness Scale (MLFS). The MLFS is a 5 number scale with grading: (1) Very Thin, (2) Thin (3) Medium (4) Full and (5)Very Full.

Time frame: Baseline and at weeks 12, 16, 20 and 24

Population: For this secondary objective, the pool of participants analyzed was based on 135 from the Intent to Treat population. However the analysis was done with the number of subjects with non-missing data. This number varied for each timepoint.
