About

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of STYLAGE® XXL versus no treatment at 24 weeks after baseline for the creation or restoration of volume deficit in the mid-face.

Full description

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, no-treatment controlled post-market clinical follow-up of a class III medical device. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of STYLAGE® XXL in the restorationor creation of volume in the mid-face.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of STYLAGE® XXL versus no treatment at 24 weeks after baseline for the creation or restoration of volume deficit in the mid-face.

Assessment of superiority will be based on 3D analysis of the volumetric change, using a validated imaging system.

Effectiveness of STYLAGE® XXL will be demonstrated if the mean volumetric change at 24 weeks after baseline from pre-treatment in the treatment group is statistically superior to the mean change in the delayed treatment (control) group.

In total, approximately 90 subjects will be enrolled across three study centers in Switzerland, Austria, and France.

Subjects will be randomized to the treatment group or delayed treatment (control) group at a 5:1 ratio (i.e., there will be 5 more subjects treated with STYLAGE® XXL at baseline as compared to subjects who will be in the no-treatment (control) group and who will receive a delayed treatment with STYLAGE® XXL at 24 weeks after baseline).

The total duration of subject participation ranges from 18-19 months (treatment group) to 24-25 months (delayed treatment (control) group). Overall study duration including the enrolment period is expected to take approximately 30-31 months.
