A Phase 2 interventional study of OnabotulinumtoxinA X and Placebo in Glabellar Lines, sponsored by Allergan. Completed at 18 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-09-09.
Sponsored by Allergan (part of AbbVie) · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a Phase 2, dose ranging study to evaluate the safety of OnabotulinumtoxinA X and to compare the efficacy of OnabotulinumtoxinA X and placebo for the treatment of Glabellar Lines in adult participants with moderate to severe GL.
Allergan is the lead sponsor of 505 studies on the registry; none are open to participants now.
Of its 93 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 91 (98%) have results posted.

Percentage of Participants With Achievement of ≥ 1-grade Improvement From Baseline as Rated by Investigator Using the Clinician Glabellar Lines Scale.
The Clinician Glabellar Lines Scale is a four point scale used to assess the severity of Glabellar Lines at maximum contraction ranging from 0 - None to 3 - Severe
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 30
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent adverse events/treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity on or after the first dose of study drug.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 270
Percentage of Participants With Achievement of None or Mild as Rated by Investigator Using the Clinician Glabellar Lines Scale.
The Clinician Glabellar Lines Scale is a four point scale used to assess the severity of Glabellar Lines at maximum contraction ranging from 0 - None to 3 - Severe
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 30
Percentage of Participants With Achievement of Improvement Per the Facial Lines Satisfaction Questionnaire Impact Domain, Among Subjects With Baseline Scores of 14 Points or Greater.
The Facial Line Satisfaction Questionnaire assesses treatment expectations, treatment satisfaction, and psychosocial impact of GL from the subject perspective. Domain scores are calculated as the mean of transformed item scores on a 0 (low impact) to 100 (highest negative impact) scale.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 30
Percentage of Participants With Achievement of Satisfaction With Treatment Per the Facial Line Satisfaction Questionnaire Item 5.
The Facial Line Satisfaction Questionnaire assesses treatment expectations, treatment satisfaction, and psychosocial impact of GL from the subject perspective. A score of 100 represents the best score (very satisfied) and a score of 0 represent the worst score (very dissatisfied) on the satisfaction domain or satisfaction single items.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 60
