Temporal Hollowing

Brief summary

This is a randomized, no-treatment-controlled, evaluator-blinded, multi-center study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Restylane® Contour in correction of temple hollowing.

Interventions

a sterile, biodegradable, transparent gel of nonanimal cross-linked HA (20 mg/mL) with the addition of lidocaine hydrochloride (3 mg/mL)

Inclusion criteria

* Males or non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding females, 22 years of age or older * Intent to undergo treatment for correction of temple hollowing

Exclusion criteria

* Known/previous allergy or hypersensitivity to any injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gel or to gram positive bacterial proteins * Known/previous allergy or hypersensitivity to local anesthetics, e.g., lidocaine or other amide-type anesthetics or nerve blocking agents (if intended to be used for that subject) * Previous facial surgery (e.g., facelift) above the level of the horizontal line from subnasale that in the Treating Investigator´s opinion could interfere with the study safety and/or effectiveness assessments * Any previous aesthetic procedures or implants * Recurrent temporal headaches such as temporal tendinitis migraine. Have a history of migraines or frequent headaches, as determined by the (Treating) Investigator, that could interfere with the study safety and/or effectiveness assessments

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Responder Rate Based on the Blinded Evaluators' Live Assessment of the Galderma Temple Volume Deficit Scale (GTVDS)Baseline, Month 3Responder rate was defined as the percentage of participants with at least a 1-grade improvement from baseline based on the GTVDS in both temples concurrently, as assessed by the Blinded Evaluator. The GTVDS is a 4-grade (ranging from 0 to 3) photographically based clinical outcome instrument specifically designed to measure volume deficit in the temporal areas of the face, where 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe volume deficit. A higher score indicated a severe outcome. Here, 97.5% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using the normal approximation (Wald) method.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Responder Rate Based on GTVDS at Month 3 as Assessed by Blinded Evaluator Compared to a Reference Standard Responder Rate of 50%Baseline, Month 3Responder rate was defined as the percentage of participants with at least a 1-grade improvement from baseline based on the GTVDS in both temples concurrently, as assessed by the Blinded Evaluator. The GTVDS is a 4-grade (ranging from 0 to 3) photographically based clinical outcome instrument specifically designed to measure volume deficit in the temporal areas of the face, where 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe volume deficit. A higher score indicated a severe outcome. Here, 97.5% CI were calculated using the normal approximation (Wald) method. Responder rate based on the GTVDS, as assessed by blinded evaluator at Month 3, compared with a reference standard responder rate of 50%.
Responder Rate Based on GTVDS at Months 6, 9 and 12 as Assessed by Blinded EvaluatorMonths 6, 9 and 12Responder rate was defined as the percentage of participants with at least a 1-grade improvement from baseline based on the GTVDS in both temples concurrently, as assessed by the Blinded Evaluator. The GTVDS is a 4-grade (ranging from 0 to 3) photographically based clinical outcome instrument specifically designed to measure volume deficit in the temporal areas of the face, where 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe volume deficit. A higher score indicated a severe outcome. Here, 97.5% CI were calculated using the normal approximation (Wald) method. Responder rate based on the GTVDS, as assessed by a blinded evaluator at Months 6, 9 and 12 are reported here.
