Conditions

Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy

Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a range of doses of botulinum toxin Type A (BOTOX®) for the treatment of patients with bilateral Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy (MMH).

Botulinum toxin Type A (BOTOX®) administered intramuscularly to the bilateral masseter muscles on Day 1 and retreatment at Day 180 if applicable.

DRUGNormal saline

Normal saline (placebo) administered intramuscularly to the bilateral masseter muscles.

Inclusion criteria

-Participants with Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy

Exclusion criteria

* Diagnosis of Myasthenia gravis, Eaton-Lambert syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or any other condition that might interfere with neuromuscular function * Prior botulinum toxin treatment of any serotype to the masseter muscle or lower face * History of dental or surgical procedure for lower facial shaping or masseter muscle reduction * History of or current temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Lower Facial Volume Using VECTRA 3D ImagesBaseline (Day 1) to Day 90 of Treatment Cycle 1Lower facial volume was calculated from 3-dimensional (3D) images captured with the VECTRA M3 3D Stereophotogrammetry imaging system and was analyzed using computer assisted systems and predetermined facial landmarks. The difference in volume was measured between the select region of the baseline surface 3D model and the select region of the posttreatment surface 3D model. A negative change from Baseline (decrease in volume) indicates improvement.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Masseter Muscle Prominence Scale (MMPS) Grade ≤ 3 as Assessed by the InvestigatorDay 90 of Treatment Cycle 1The investigator used visual inspection and palpation to grade the prominence of the participant's masseter muscle on the left and right sides of the face using the MMPS where: 1=minimal prominence (best), 2=mild prominence, 3=moderate prominence, 4=marked prominence, 5=very marked prominence (worst). The percentage of participants with grade 3 or less is reported.

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Lower Facial Volume Using VECTRA 3D Images

Lower facial volume was calculated from 3-dimensional (3D) images captured with the VECTRA M3 3D Stereophotogrammetry imaging system and was analyzed using computer assisted systems and predetermined facial landmarks. The difference in volume was measured between the select region of the baseline surface 3D model and the select region of the posttreatment surface 3D model. A negative change from Baseline (decrease in volume) indicates improvement.

Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 90 of Treatment Cycle 1

Population: Participants from the mITT population, all randomized participants who received at least 1 injection of study treatment and had at least 1 follow-up visit, with data available for analysis at Day 90. Change in lower facial volume was quantified in cm\^3 using image subtraction techniques; as the Baseline is an image, no Baseline data are reported.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Masseter Muscle Prominence Scale (MMPS) Grade ≤ 3 as Assessed by the Investigator

The investigator used visual inspection and palpation to grade the prominence of the participant's masseter muscle on the left and right sides of the face using the MMPS where: 1=minimal prominence (best), 2=mild prominence, 3=moderate prominence, 4=marked prominence, 5=very marked prominence (worst). The percentage of participants with grade 3 or less is reported.

Time frame: Day 90 of Treatment Cycle 1

Population: Participants from the mITT population, all randomized participants who received at least 1 injection of study treatment and had at least 1 follow-up visit, with data available for analysis at Day 90. Missing data was imputed using last observation carried forward.
