Brief summary
This study will be conducted in Phase Ⅲ clinical trials. In Phase Ⅲ, subjects with moderate to severe glabellar lines are enrolled and those who are judged to be eligible for this study will be injected with the PROTOXIN at a total of 20U(4U/0.1mL each) in five sites of the glabellar lines. The investigational product is administered once, maintaining double-blind for a total of 16 weeks of observation. Thereafter, efficacy and safety are assessed by comparing with BOTOX® after regular visits conducted at 4,8,12 and 16 weeks.
