Intrinsic Aging of Skin Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Double Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial to Compare the Efficacy, Time to Onset, and Duration of Two Botulinum Type A Exotoxins (Onabotulinum Toxin A and Abobotulinum Toxin A) in the Treatment of "Crow's Feet."
The objective of the study is to compare the time to onset of Dysport® versus Botox® in the
treatment of lateral orbital rhytids ("crow's feet"). Thirty subjects were enrolled in the
study; specifically 30 male or female patients 18 years or older with moderate to severe
lateral orbital rhytids at maximum contracture. Each patient were randomized to be treated
with Dysport® on one side and Botox® on the other side. Both the injector and patient were
blinded to the injected toxin.
The efficacy endpoints were determined by investigator and subject live assessment of
"crow's feet" at rest and maximum contraction at each visit (every other day for 6 days
post-injection, every month for 9 months following) using a validated 5 point photographic
scale(no wrinkles [0], very fine wrinkles [1], fine wrinkles [2], moderate wrinkles [3] or
severe wrinkles [4]) used in previous studies. A written description of each photograph was
included to help standardize the application of the Photographic Scale.
INTRODUCTION:
Dysport® (Medicis, Scottsdale, AZ) is the formulation (previously known as 52120 and
Reloxin®) of Clostridium botulinum type A (BoNT-A) toxin-hemagglutinin complex to be used in
the United States (US) cosmetic clinical program. It is identical to the Ipsen product
marketed outside the United States and under clinical studies in the United States for
cosmetic and non-cosmetic use. Dysport® injections are used to relax the musculature of the
upper face, reducing the appearance of dynamic rhytids. Previously FDA-approved Botulinum
type A toxins have been utilized in the upper face to treat glabellar rhytids for nearly two
decades. Botox® Cosmetic (Allergan, Irvine, CA), is the first FDA-approved Botulinum toxin
type A to be approved in the United States for the treatment of glabellar rhytids. Its
efficacy and safety have been proven in multiple studies. However, no comparison to onset of
action exists amongst the different BoNT-A products. This study seeks to compare the onset
of action between two BoNT-A products, Dysport® and Botox® Cosmetic.
BACKGROUND:
Relaxation of facial musculature is routinely accomplished for cosmetic use by the use of
Clostridium botulinum type A. Clostridium botulinum type A toxin reduces the recruitment of
specific muscle groups. Many studies have been published in peer-reviewed medical journals
regarding the cosmetic use of this biologic.2-11 Clostridium botulinum in the form of Botox®
Cosmetic is FDA-approved for cosmetic use in the treatment of rhytids in the glabellar
region. Dysport®, the brand name of the Ipsen product marketed outside the United States and
under clinical studies in the United States for cosmetic and non-cosmetic use, and the
current name now used under FDA-approval.
Many studies have demonstrated the effect of botulinum toxin on facial rhytids produced by
underlying coordinated muscle groups. Those of the glabellar area, upper forehead, lower
forehead, periocular and perinasal area are particularly well-documented. Previous reports
of Dysport® and Botox® Cosmetic medications show effective relaxation of glabellar rhytids
after injection.12-17
The most common adverse event (AE) seen following the use of Dysport® or Botox® Cosmetic for
the treatment of blepharospasm is ptosis. Some patients have reported diplopia or symptoms
resulting from the spread of effect to mid-facial muscles. Other AEs reported were injection
site reaction, skin rashes, influenza-like symptoms, dry eyes, tearing, bruising, and eyelid
swelling. Reversible ophthalmoplegia has been reported after excessive dosing.
Multiple Phase II and III clinical studies have been conducted in North America to determine
the optimal dosing of Dysport® for cosmetic use in the glabellar area, and 50 units of
Dysport® is generally recognized as the optimal dosage for treatment of the glabellar
region. Dysport® to Botox® Cosmetic dosing is generally a 2.5:1 or 3:1 unit for unit
conversion. For the crows feet area, 10 units of Botox® Cosmetic at 4 injection points is
used in a similar fashion, producing comparable results to 25 units of Dysport® at the same
four injection points. What is not clear is whether one of these BoNT-A provide a quicker
onset to action. This study intends to compare onset of action of both of these BoNT-A by
daily live assessments of patients in the week following injection of either Dysport® or
Botox® Cosmetic.
INVESTIGATIONAL AGENTS:
Dysport® is the formulation (previously known as 52120 and Reloxin®) of Clostridium
botulinum type A toxin-hemagglutinin complex to be used in the United States (US) cosmetic
clinical program. Reloxin® is identical to Dysport, the brand name of the Ipsen product
marketed outside the United States and under clinical studies in the United States for
cosmetic and non-cosmetic use.
Dysport® will be supplied as a white, lyophilized powder containing 500 units of Clostridium
botulinum type A toxin-hemagglutinin complex, 125 μg human serum albumin, and 2.5 mg of
lactose. Study medication will be reconstituted at the investigational center with sterile
physiological saline for injection without preservative.
Botox® Cosmetic is supplied as a 100 unit vial of Clostridium botulinum type A exotoxin,
sterilely prepared and vacuum-dried without preservatives. The vial also contains 0.5mg of
albumin (human) and 0.9 mg of sodium chloride.
DOSE RATIONAL AND RISKS/BENEFITS:
Eligible patients will receive Dysport® (25 units) divided among 4 injection points (0.05 mL
[6.25 units] per injection point) in the lateral orbital rhytid on one side and Botox®
Cosmetic (10 units) divided among 4 injection points (0.05mL [2.5 units]) in the lateral
orbital rhytid region on the contralateral side on Day 0 of the study.
For Study Purposes:
• For study purposes, only one injection session will be performed at Day 0 of the study.
Subsequent follow-up visits will only monitor the effects of the single injection session at
time 0.
Packaging, Labeling, and Storage Active drug (Dysport®) vials, bearing a unique lot number,
will be sent from Ipsen Biopharm Ltd. or Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation. Each vial will
be labeled with a batch/lot number and unique sequential pack number. Beaufour Ipsen
Industrie SAS will perform packaging and labeling of study medication vials in compliance
with all regulatory requirements.
Unused vials will be returned to Almedical or Medicis for final accounting and destruction.

Inc, Irvine CA. Each vial will be labeled with a batch/lot number and unique sequential pack
number.
Study medications must be maintained during transit and storage within a temperature range
of 2o to 8oC. Until dispensed to the patients, study medication will be stored refrigerated
in a secure location, separated from normal hospital/practice stocks, and accessible only to
authorized personnel.
Reconstitution Techniques Following the dilution instructions below, the investigator (or
trained designee) can prepare the individual patient's study dose for injection.
Each patient's dose will be prepared as an isovolumic (0.2 mL of normal saline) of
BotoxCosmetic or Dysport injection for administration by the investigator.
Drug accountability The investigator will be supplied with a sufficient amount of study
medications and confirm receipt of all batches of study medication in writing.
The investigator will administer study medication only to patients included in this study
and following the procedures set out in this study protocol. Each dispensing will be
documented in the CRFs and the study medication dispensing log.
Concomitant Medications and Treatments Any medication the patient takes other than the study
medication specified in the protocol is considered a concomitant medication. This applies to
prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, and to herbal supplements, whether taken
systemically or applied topically. In addition, any treatment the patient receives other
than the study medication is considered a concomitant treatment. This applies to cosmetic
treatments of the face and neck area. All concomitant medications and concomitant treatments
must be reco0rded in the CRFs.
Prohibited medication classes and treatments are described under "Exclusion Criteria". In
the event that a prohibited treatment (e.g. microdermabrasion, Intense Pulse Light,
light-emitting diodes, or radio-frequency) is received, it must be documented on the CRFs.

STUDY PROCEDURES:
Visit 1 (Initial Visit and treatment day 0) This visit will serve as both screening and
baseline. During this visit, the subject will receive the ICF and be consented in accordance
to this site's consenting SOP. After consenting, inclusion and exclusion criteria will be
obtained. If the subject meets these, then demographic data will be taken as well as
clinical history and concomitant medications. The P.I. will then decide if the subject is to
be included or excluded using the inclusion exclusion criteria, clinical history, visual
examination of the head and neck, and concomitant medications. If the patient has the need
for a pregnancy test, a urine pregnancy test will be performed in office. Assignment of
patient # will occur as will randomization to receive Dysport® and Botox® Cosmetic in each
lateral orbital area. The subject will then be photographed using the Canfield Digital
photography system. The subject will provide a self-assessment of lateral orbital rhytids at
rest using a static 5-point categorical scale. The investigator will assess in person
lateral orbital rhytids at maximal contraction and at rest and lateral orbital rhytids
according to a static 5-point Photographic scale validated in prior studies. Following the
rating scales, the patient will be administered Dysport® to the lateral orbital area on one
side and Botox® Cosmetic to the contralateral lateral orbital area (as described in Appendix
1 and Section 5.4). The patient is to remain for 30 minutes after injection to monitor for
