What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Subjects Achieving None or Mild on the Investigator's Assessment of the Severity of Crow's Feet Lines (CFL) at Maximum Smile Using the Facial Wrinkle Scale-Asian (FWS-A)

    The Investigator assessed the severity of the subject's CFLs at maximum smile using the 4-point FWS-A where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe. The percentage of subjects with a score of none or mild at Day 30 is reported.

    Time frame: Day 30

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Subjects With a ≥ 1-grade Improvement on the Investigator's Assessment of CFL Severity at Rest Using the 4-point FWS-A

    The Investigator assessed the severity of the subject's CFLs at rest using the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe among subjects rated as at least mild at baseline by the Investigator. The percentages of subjects with at least a 1-grade improvement are noted.

    Time frame: Day 30

  2. Percentage of Subjects With a ≥ 1-grade Improvement on the Investigator's Assessment of CFL Severity at Maximum Smile on the 4-point FWS-A

    The Investigator assessed the severity of the subject's CFLs at maximum smile using the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe. The percentages of subjects with at least a 1-grade improvement are noted.

    Time frame: Day 30

  3. Percentage of Subjects Reporting Their Global Change in Appearance as Very Much Improved or Much Improved Using the 7-point Subject's Global Assessment of Change in CFL (SGA-CFL)

    Subjects assessed their global change in appearance using the 7-point SGA-CFL scale where 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, and 7=very much worse. The percentage of subjects reporting very much improved or much improved are noted.

    Time frame: Day 30

  4. Percentage of Subjects Assessing Their Age-related Facial Appearance as Looking Younger on the Self-Perception of Age (SPA) Questionnaire

    Subjects assessed their age-related appearance according to the following on the SPA questionnaire: look my current age, look younger, and look older when compared to their baseline assessment. The percentages of subjects who reported looking younger amongst subjects who rated themselves as looking their current age or older at baseline are noted.

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 30

  5. Percentage of Subjects Achieving None or Mild on the Subject's Assessment of the Severity of Crow's Feet Lines (CFL) at Maximum Smile Using the Facial Wrinkle Scale-Asian (FWS-A)

    The subject assessed the severity of their CFLs at maximum smile using the 4-point FWS-A where 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe. The percentage of subjects with a score of none or mild at Day 30 is reported.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
Not marked actual or estimatedDates not marked actual or estimated

The record gives a start of Sep 2014, a primary completion of Feb 2015 and a completion of Jun 2015. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Mar 2016, 1 year 1 month after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 14, 2016, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
