Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the safety and duration of effect following different doses of Botulinum Toxin A (NT 201) in the treatment of glabellar frown lines (GFL).

Detailed description

This prospective, randomized, double-blind, multi-Center clinical study consists of a two stage experimental main period comparing different dose groups, followed by an optional open-label extension period (20 Units follow-up treatment).

Study was conducted at 9 sites in Germany and the United States from 23 January 2019 to 8 October 2020. Out of 256 participants, 15 participants were screen failures and 241 participants were enrolled and randomized in the study. Study had 2 periods: Main Period (MP) and an optional Open-label Extension (OLEX) Period. As planned, combined safety data for MP and OLEX Period was reported.

Pre-assignment details

In MP, Stage 1, participants received NT 201: 20 unit (U), 50 U or 75 U. Based on safety data of Stage 1, Stage 2 was started, and participants received NT 201 20 U or 100 U. After completion of MP, participants had the opportunity to receive an optional follow-up treatment with NT 201 20 U in OLEX period. As planned, 20 U group data from Stages 1 and 2 were pooled.

Duration of Effect Defined as Time Between Treatment and Relapse to Baseline Status Assessed by the Investigator on the FWS

Duration of effect: time between treatment and first occurrence of relapse to baseline status. If no effect was observed, duration of effect was set to 0. Effect: any improvement (at least 1 point) at maximum frown as assessed by investigator on FWS. Investigator's FWS assessed status of GFL according to 4-point severity grades at maximum frown as: 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe). Descriptors of each severity grade for investigator's FWS assessment at maximum frown were as: 0 (no muscle action at all), 1 (some even slight muscle action possible \[that is, visible furrows\]), 2 (moderately strong muscle action possible \[that is, visible muscle bulges\]), 3 (strong muscle action possible which may cause local pallor). Duration of effect was analyzed using Kaplan-meier analysis, and 95 percent (%) confidence interval (CI) were calculated using log-log transformation.

Time frame: From the time of first treatment up to Day 360

Population: The FAS was subset of participants exposed to study medication for whom any efficacy variable was available.
