Study summary

Cryotherapy is more and more used to improve skin appearance. Devices using difluoroethane, manufactured by CRYONOVE PHARMA, are already available on the local and international markets, e.g. CRYOBEAUTY MAINS and CRYOBEAUTY CORPS.

However, the cryogenic gas (conventional cryotherapy - liquid nitrogen) creates a dermabrasion of the skin surface and person receiving this kind of treatment presents an impaired skin during a few days following the treatment as temporary damage of stratum corneum, erythema, scars, burns.

Following the side effects occurring after conventional cryotherapy application, it seems interesting for the sponsor to select other sequences of a cryogenic spray (4 prototypes of devices) which could be used for lentigo treatment with a same benefit for the consumers without any safety outcomes.

This study will assess the use of different prototypes with a sequence of application of cryogenic gas which reaches a higher temperature than those which used with the reference device, in order to increase the acceptability of the device.

(CS4_3) proof of concept, interventional, monocentric, aims to evaluate the tolerance of cryotherapy treatments applied on healthy skin on the back of the hands.

The main objective of the study is to evaluate on phototype V and VI, the tolerance of 4 different conditions of cryotherapy treatments (4 prototypes) applied on healthy skin on the back of the hands.

Read the detailed description

Prototypes (812A-v1), (812C-v1), (812D-v1) and (812F-v1) will be applied on hands areas by the same order for all volunteers using a reposition mask. On each hand 2 devices will be attributed starting from the middle point of the hand toward to the lateral internal and lateral external edges of the hand. The distance between 2 treatment areas will be 2 cm.

Each area will be treated 1 time during the study at D0. The treatment will starts from right hand with prototypes (812A-v1) and (812C-v1), then left hands with the prototypes (812D-v1) and (812F-v1) .

Prior to any study device application, the dermatologist will assess the adverse events.

The dermatologist will verify that the skin has not been treated by cosmetic products (no presence of cream that could interfere with the treatment) and is dry.

The procedure will take place at the investigation site. An operator previously trained by the dermatologist will apply the study device to the patient's hand.

Subjects will lie down and the device will be administered upside down.

The prototypes will be applied 10 minutes apart so that pain can be measured without interference from application to application.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Informed consent

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.

Contraception

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline skin hyperpigmentation

    This outcome is a tolerance assessment criteria. Clinical evaluation of hyperpigmentation on each selected and treated area will be performed by a Dermatologist using the Investigator's Global Assessment likert 6 points scale ranged from 0 to 5: 0=Clear of hyperpigmentation, 1= Almost clear of hyperpigmentation, 2=mild, but noticeable hyperpigmentation, 3=moderate hyperpigmentation (medium brown in quality), 4=severe hyperpigmentation (dark brown in quality), 5= very severe hyperpigmentation (very dark brown, almost black in quality)

    Time frame: Day 0, Day 2, Day 7, Day 21, Day 56

  2. Change from baseline skin hypopigmentation

    This outcome is a tolerance assessment criteria. Clinical evaluation of hypopigmentation on each selected and treated area will be performed by a Dermatologist using a likert 5 points scale ranged from 0 to 4: 0=no hypopigmented lesion, 1= very slight area of hypopigmentation of very small size and very slightly fairer than the surrounding skin, 2= slight area of hypopigmentation of small size and slightly fairer than the surrounding skin, 3= moderate : area of hypopigmentation of moderate size and much fairer than the surrounding skin, 4= severe : area of hypopigmentation of large size and much fairer than the surrounding skin.

    Time frame: Day 0, Day 2, Day 7, Day 21, Day 56

  3. Change from baseline skin appearance (Edemas, blisters, bubbles, scars, erythema)

    his outcome is a tolerance assessment criteria. Clinical visual evaluation of selected area and surrounded spotless skin area around the spot skin will be performed. A likert scale in 5 points (0 to 4) will be used : 0=none; 1=very mild; 2=mild; 3=moderate; 4=severe.

    Time frame: Day 0, Day 2, Day 7, Day 21, Day 56

  4. Change from baseline skin sensation (itching, tingling, burning sensations)

    This outcome is a tolerance assessment criteria. Clinical visual evaluation of selected lentigo spots and around the spot skin will be performed. A likert scale in 5 points (0 to 4) will be used : 0=none; 1=very mild; 2=mild; 3=moderate; 4=severe.

    Time frame: Day 0, Day 2, Day 7, Day 21, Day 56

  5. Post treatment pain

    This outcome is a tolerance assessment criteria. The pain of the treatment will be assessed by the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). Pain intensity is measured in millimeters by the distance from the position of the mark to the "no pain" extremity.

    Time frame: Day 0

  6. Other unexpected events

    This outcome concerns the occurence of the adverse events

    Time frame: at Day0, Day2, Day7, Day21 and Day56

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 Aug 19, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
