Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Increase (Improvement) in the 4-Point Global Eyebrow Assessment (GEBA) ScaleBaseline, Month 7The physician evaluated eyebrow fullness using the 4-point GEBA Scale where: 1=very sparse, 2=sparse, 3=full and 4=very full. The percentage of participants with at least a 1-grade increase from Baseline is reported.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Eyebrow Fullness as Measured Using Digital Monitoring System Image Analysis (DMSIA)Baseline, Month 7Photographs were taken of the eyebrows. Eyebrow fullness was measured by DMSIA for both eyes and averaged. Eyebrow fullness was reported in millimeters squared (mm\^2). A positive change from Baseline indicated fuller eyebrows (improvement).
Change From Baseline in Eyebrow Darkness as Measured Using DMSIABaseline, Month 7Photographs were taken of the eyebrows. Eyebrow darkness (intensity) was measured by DMSIA for both eyes and averaged. Eyebrow darkness was reported in intensity units. A negative change from Baseline indicated darker eyebrows (improvement).
Percentage of Participants With 'Very Satisfied' or 'Mostly Satisfied' in Eyebrow Satisfaction Scale (ESS) Item #6Month 7ESS Item #6 measured the participant's satisfaction with eyebrow treatment: Overall, how satisfied are you with the way the eyebrow treatment makes your eyebrows look right now? using a 5-point scale where: 1=very satisfied, 2=mostly satisfied, 3=neither dissatisfied nor satisfied, 4=mostly dissatisfied and 5=very dissatisfied. The percentage of participants 'very satisfied' or 'mostly satisfied' is reported.
