Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Responders Based on Composite Facial Wrinkle Scale Assessment of Crow's Feet Line Severity at Maximum SmileBaseline, Day 30The composite facial wrinkle scale assessment is based on both the Investigator and Subject Facial Wrinkle scales at Day 30. The Investigator assessed the severity of the patient's Crow's Feet Lines at maximum smile using the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe and the patient assessed the severity of their Crow's Feet Lines at maximum smile using the same 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale. A responder is defined as a participant with a ≥ 2-grade improvement from Baseline.

Lower scores indicate improvement.

Percentage of Responders Based on Composite Facial Wrinkle Scale Assessment of Crow's Feet Line Severity at Maximum Smile

The composite facial wrinkle scale assessment is based on both the Investigator and Subject Facial Wrinkle scales at Day 30. The Investigator assessed the severity of the patient's Crow's Feet Lines at maximum smile using the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe and the patient assessed the severity of their Crow's Feet Lines at maximum smile using the same 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale. A responder is defined as a participant with a ≥ 2-grade improvement from Baseline.

Time frame: Baseline, Day 30

Population: Intent-to-treat population included all randomized participants. Participants with missing values are considered non-responders.
