The cumulative effect of aging and environmental exposures (ie, ultraviolet, infrared, and visible light radiation and pollution) leads to wrinkles, discoloration, laxity, and roughness of sun exposed skin. The rapid restoration of soft tissue augmentation is commonly achieved by the use of dermal fillers. HArmonyCa Lidocaine injectable gel is a dermal filler intended for facial soft tissue augmentation. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and effectiveness of HArmonyCa Lidocaine injectable gel compared to Restylane® Perlane® Lidocaine (Perlane) in adults seeking restoration and/or correction of moderate to severe mid-face volume deficit. HArmonyCa Lidocaine Injectable Gel is an investigational device being developed for soft tissue augmentation in the mid face. Participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. There is a 1 in 3 chance that participants will be assigned to the receive active comparator, Perlane. Around 252 adult participants seeking restoration and/or creation of mid-face volume will be enrolled in the study at approximately 9 sites in China. Participants will receive HArmonyCa Lidocaine injectable gel or Perlane at Day 1 with an option touch-up treatment on Day 31. Participants will be followed for up to 12 Months after last treatment. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
Phase 3 trials are pivotal studies with large patient populations (hundreds to thousands) designed to prove efficacy and safety for FDA submission. A successful Phase 3 readout is typically the last major hurdle before a New Drug Application (NDA) or BLA filing.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
AbbVie Inc (ABBV) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (58/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
