Study summary

This study design is multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, active controlled, phase 3 clinical trial(Including randomized, double-blind, parallel group, active controlled, preliminary study). Subjects who voluntarily signed the informed consent and are judged to be eligible for this study will be intramuscularly injected with the study drug or the comparator at a total of 20U(4U/0.1ml each)in five sites of the glabella line. Thereafter, follow-up visits will be made 4 weeks, 10weeks, 16weeks and efficacy and safety assessments will be conducted for total 16 weeks.
