Inclusion criteria

Male or female aged 35 to 65 (inclusive) years of age with overall mid-face severity of Moderate, Significant, or Severe for both cheeks on the Mid-Face Volume Deficit Scale (MFVDS);

Exclusion criteria

* Has any facial procedures or trauma that may interfere with the study procedures and results; * Has a history of anaphylaxis or allergy to lidocaine (or any amide-based anesthetics), hyaluronic acid (HA) products, or Streptococcal protein, or is planning to undergo allergen desensitization therapy during the term of the study; * Has active autoimmune disease; * Has current cutaneous or mucosal inflammatory or infectious processes.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Mid-Face Volume Deficit Scale (MFVDS) ScoreBaseline (Screening) to Month 1The evaluating investigator (EI) assessed the participant's overall mid-face volume deficit for each cheek using a 6-point photonumeric scale, where: 0=None (moon face; fullness) \[best\] to 5=Severe (wasting) \[worst\]. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Point Improvement (Decrease From Baseline) in MFVDS ScoreBaseline (Screening) to Month 1The EI assessed the participant's overall mid-face volume deficit for each cheek using a 6-point photonumeric scale, where: 0=None (moon face; fullness) \[best\] to 5=Severe (wasting) \[worst\]. The percentage of participants who showed ≥1-point improvement (decrease in severity) from Baseline is reported.
Change From Baseline in FACE-Q Satisfaction With Cheeks Questionnaire ScoreBaseline (Screening) to Month 1The participant completed the 5-item Satisfaction with Cheeks module of the FACE-Q questionnaire that evaluated various aspects of the cheeks including symmetry, smoothness, attractiveness, contour, and fullness using a 4-point scale where: 1=very dissatisfied to 4=very satisfied. The total score was transformed to a 0 to 100 point scale, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement. The FACE-Q Satisfaction with Cheeks outcome was assessed by the participant overall and not by each cheek.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)Up to 3 monthsAn adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A TEAE is defined as an AE that initially occurred or increased in severity on or after the treatment start date.

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Mid-Face Volume Deficit Scale (MFVDS) Score

The evaluating investigator (EI) assessed the participant's overall mid-face volume deficit for each cheek using a 6-point photonumeric scale, where: 0=None (moon face; fullness) \[best\] to 5=Severe (wasting) \[worst\]. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Time frame: Baseline (Screening) to Month 1

Population: mITT population included all randomized participants who received treatment with cannula on 1 cheek and treatment with needle on the contralateral (other) cheek.

Change From Baseline in FACE-Q Satisfaction With Cheeks Questionnaire Score

The participant completed the 5-item Satisfaction with Cheeks module of the FACE-Q questionnaire that evaluated various aspects of the cheeks including symmetry, smoothness, attractiveness, contour, and fullness using a 4-point scale where: 1=very dissatisfied to 4=very satisfied. The total score was transformed to a 0 to 100 point scale, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement. The FACE-Q Satisfaction with Cheeks outcome was assessed by the participant overall and not by each cheek.

Time frame: Baseline (Screening) to Month 1

Population: mITT population included all randomized participants who received treatment with cannula on 1 cheek and treatment with needle on the contralateral (other) cheek. FACE-Q is a global assessment and was administered per participant.

A TEAE is defined as an AE that initially occurred or increased in severity on or after the treatment start date.

Time frame: Up to 3 months

Population: Safety population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 study treatment. The data for adverse events is reported by participant because both treatments were received at the same time and it included both treatment-related and non-treatment-related adverse events.
