Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With ≥ 1-grade Improvement From Baseline in the Validated Allergan Temple Hollowing Scale (ATHS) Based on Evaluating Investigator (EI) Assessment at Month 3Baseline, Month 3 (Control Period)The Evaluating Investigator assessed the participant's temple hollowing using the 5-point ATHS scale where 0=convex, rounded temple and 4=severe, deeply recessed, sunken appearance. A 1-point decrease from Baseline indicates improvement.
Number of Participants With Adverse EventsFrom the time of informed consent until the participant exited the study, up to 13 months after their initial/touch-up treatment, and up to 6 months after the maintenance treatmentAn adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant whether or not it is related to the investigational product. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of the investigational product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent adverse events/treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity on or after the first use of the investigational product.

The total score was transformed to a score of 0 (worst) to 100 (best) for comparison. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant whether or not it is related to the investigational product. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of the investigational product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent adverse events/treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity on or after the first use of the investigational product.
