An interventional study of VENUS AIME (RoboCor) in Skin Tightening and Healthy Volunteers, sponsored by Venus Concept. Recruiting at 3 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 30 Years to 70 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-02-14.
Sponsored by Venus Concept · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mechanical coring for directional skin tightening. This study is a prospective, up to 3 center, multiple skin treatment area study of the safety and efficacy of mechanical coring with directional closure to achieve directional skin tightening.
The study will evaluate the progress of up to 70 subjects after one treatment at up to 6 treatment areas on the body chosen from 2 on the neck (each treatment area approximately 1x3 cm), 2 on each underarm, 1 on each cheek, 2 on the abdomen, one on each thigh and 2 on the forehead area above the eyebrows (all approximately 6x4 cm). Subjects will be followed at 2, 5, 14, 28, 60, and 90 days after treatment.
611 studies on the registry are indexed under Cicatrix; 114 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 70 is above the median of 40 across 512 interventional studies indexed under Cicatrix.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Device: VENUS AIME (RoboCor)
VENUS AIME is a micro-coring device of the skin that can potentially help to reduce visible skin scarring, improve skin laxity and reduce wrinkles.
Percentage of Cores Successfully Removed by Coring Device
Percentage of cores successfully removed by the coring device without manual removal.
Time frame: 1 day
Downtime, as evaluated using the Subject Questionnaire
Made of 8 questions asking if subject felt self-conscious, covered up the treatment area, avoided people, unable to perform normal activities, felt pain, discomfort or itchiness. For each, the subject may answer 1) Not at all, 2) Some of the time, or 3) Most of the time. A lower score indicates a better result.
Time frame: Up to Day 90 (end of study)
Treatment pain
Subject's assessment of discomfort and pain after treatments as measured by a VAS Pain Scale on 10 cm line. 0 cm being no pain/no discomfort and 10 cm being excruciating and unbearable pain.
Time frame: Day 1

Started Feb 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2025, 54 months after the start.
Of 33 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Cicatrix, half reached primary completion within 9 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 20. This study's planned 54 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 206 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 36.
