A Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of IPN10200 in Adult Participants With Moderate to Severe Upper Facial Lines

Inclusion criteria

• Participant must be 18 to 65 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
• Moderate or severe (Grade 2 or 3) GL (Stage 1) at maximum contraction at Baseline, as assessed by the ILA using a validated 4-point photographic scale.
• Moderate or severe (Grade 2 or 3) GL (Stage 1) at maximum contraction at Baseline, as assessed by the SSA using a validated 4-point categorical scale.
• Moderate or severe (Grade 2 or 3) FHL (Stage 2) at maximum contraction and moderate to severe GL at maximum contraction at Baseline or moderate to severe (Grade 2 or 3) LCL (Stage 2) at maximum contraction (Stage as assessed by the ILA using a 4-point photographic scale).
• Moderate or severe (Grade 2 or 3) FHL (Stage 3) at maximum contraction and moderate to severe GL at maximum contraction at Baseline and moderate to severe (Grade 2 or 3) LCL (Stage 3) at maximum contraction (Stage as assessed by the ILA using a 4-point photographic scale).
• Moderate or severe (Grade 2 or 3) FHL (Stage 2) at maximum contraction and moderate to severe GL maximum contraction at Baseline or moderate to severe (Grade 2 or 3) LCL (Stage 2) at maximum contraction as assessed by the SSA using a 4-point photographic scale.
• Moderate or severe (Grade 2 or 3) FHL (Stage 3) at maximum contraction and moderate to severe GL maximum contraction at Baseline and moderate to severe (Grade 2 or 3) LCL (Stage 3) at maximum contraction, as assessed by the SSA using a 4-point photographic scale.
• Dissatisfied or very dissatisfied (Grade 2 or 3) with their lines (Stages 1 to 3) at Baseline, as assessed by the SLS.
• Male and female participants (only female for Stage 1/Step 1). Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies
• Capable of giving signed informed consent includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.
• Participant has both the time and the ability to complete the study and comply with study instructions.
• Does not reside in an institution by administrative or court order.
• Is not a sponsor employee or clinical research unit personnel directly affiliated with the study or is not an immediate family member. Immediate family is defined as a spouse, parent, child or sibling whether biological or legally adopted.

Exclusion criteria

• An active infection or other skin problems in the upper face including the GL, FHL, and LCL area (e.g. acute acne lesions or ulcers).
• A history of eyelid blepharoplasty or brow lift within the past 5 years
• A history of facial nerve palsy.
• Marked facial asymmetry, ptosis, excessive dermatochalasis, deep dermal scarring, or thick sebaceous skin.
• Any known medical condition that may put the participant at increased risk in regard to exposure to BoNT of any serotype (i.e. myasthenia gravis, Eaton-Lambert syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, etc.)
• Has COVID-19 illness or a known positive SARS-CoV-2 test (Stage 1), or the presence of any other condition (e.g. neuromuscular disorder or other disorder that could interfere with neuromuscular function)
• Previous treatment with any BoNT serotype for Stage 1 / Step 1 or any recent treatment (within the past 9 months prior to baseline) with any BoNT serotype for Stage 1 / Step 2, Stage 1/Step 3, Stages 2 and 3. Participants treated in earlier Stages/Steps of the study must not be included in any later Stages/Steps.
• Any prior treatment with permanent fillers in the upper face including the GL, FHL and LCL area.
• Any prior treatment with long lasting dermal fillers or any permanent procedures in the upper face inclusion the GL area within the past 3 years and/or skin abrasions/resurfacing (whatever the interventional technic used) within the past 5 years, or photo rejuvenation or skin/vascular laser intervention within the 12 months prior to Baseline.
• Any planned facial cosmetic surgery during the study.
• Use of concomitant therapy which, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with the evaluation of the safety or efficacy of the study intervention. Therapy considered necessary for the participant's welfare may be given at the discretion of the investigator.
• Use of medications that affect neuromuscular transmission, such as curare-like non depolarising agents, lincosamides, polymyxins, anticholinesterases, aminoglycoside antibiotics and systemic retinoids, within the past 30 days prior to baseline are prohibited or a longer washout period of at least five half-lives might be required, as deemed appropriate by the investigator for longer-acting medications. Topical use of for example aminoglycoside medications or topical retinoids on the face apart from the area of injection would be acceptable.
• Use of any experimental device within 30 days or use of any treatment with an experimental drug within five times the documented terminal half-life of the respective drug or its metabolites or if the halflife is unknown within 30 days prior to the start of the study (prior to Baseline) and during the conduct of the study.
• Known positive for hepatitis B antigen, or hepatitis C virus antibody, or for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or a diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
• Clinically diagnosed significant anxiety disorder, or any other significant psychiatric disorder (e.g. depression) that might interfere with the participant's participation in the study
• An inability to substantially lessen GL and/or horizontal forehead rhytids even by physically spreading them apart as determined by the investigator.
• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to BoNT or any excipients of IPN10200 or Dusport/Azzalure, or allergy to cow's milk protein.
• A history of drug or alcohol abuse
• Pregnant women, nursing women, premenopausal women or women of childbearing potential not willing to practice a highly effective form of contraception method
• Male participants who are not vasectomized and who have female partners of childbearing potential and are not willing to use condoms with spermicide throughout study participation.
• Any uncontrolled systemic disease or other significant medical condition which would be harmful for the participant to be entered into the study or continue participation.
