Study summary

Study of the effectiveness of the medical device "Intradermal implant, sterile ULTRACOL based on polydioxanone (ULTRA V Co., Ltd., Korea) in the correction of skin contour defects.

Read the detailed description

The investigational product is composed of a mixture of polydioxanone and sodium carboxymethylcellulose. The polydioxanone content is as follows: Ultracol 200: 150 mg ±10%, Ultracol 100: 75 mg ±10%. The key difference from the closest analogs (AestheFill® V200, Sculptra™, Ellagen PLLA+CMC 1000 mg) is the presence of polydioxanone in the investigational product.

Thus, the analyzed analogues are not fully interchangeable medical products. The combined composition of Ultracol has not been studied properly. Therefore, during the clinical study, it is necessary to check the safety and effectiveness of a medical product with a combined composition - polydioxanone and sodium carboxymethylcellulose.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

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.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

  • Experimental
    Experimental Group

    ULTRACOL Intradermal Implant (Polydioxanone-based). All 23 adult subjects (22 female, 3 male; mean age 51.1, range 37-70) received intradermal injections of ULTRACOL using linear-retrograde technique into the lower dermis or hypodermis. ULTRACOL 100 (100 mg/vial, reconstituted in 1 mL water for injection) used in all 23 patients; ULTRACOL 200 (200 mg/vial, reconstituted in 2 mL water for injection) used in 20 patients. Mean 1.87 injections per patient. Maximum dose: 3 mL per procedure. Treatment zones: nasolabial folds, cheeks, zygomatic area, perioral/periauricular regions, facial oval. Follow-up: Day 30, 60, 160.

    Device: Administration of the prepared solution - 1 time Post injection observation - 30, 60, 160 days from the date of the first injection.
