Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Males and females, 65 to 75 years of age
  • Stable Body Weight
  • Dissatisfaction with the submental area expressed by participants
  • Acceptable volume of submental fat graded by clinician
  • BMI of ≤40.0 kg/m^2
  • Signed informed consent (ICF)
  • SMF rating of 2 or 3 by clinician and patient

Exclusion criteria

  • No prior intervention for submental fat (SMF) (eg liposuction, surgery or lipolytic agents)
  • Absence of clinically significant health problems
  • Anatomical features for which reduction in SMF may result in aesthetically unacceptable outcome, judged by clinician
  • History of trauma associated with the chin or neck areas that in the judgment of the investigator may affect evaluation of safety or efficacy
  • Body mass index of ≥40.0 kg/m^2

Treatment and study plan

ATX-101

Drug

Formulated as an injectable solution containing deoxycholic acid at a concentration of 10 mg/mL.

Other names: deoxycholic acid

Placebo

Drug

Phosphate buffered saline placebo for injection

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on Both the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS) and Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS) Assessments

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

    The investigator evaluated the participant's chin and neck area using the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (a 5-point scale) where: 0=absent submental convexity (best) to 4= extreme submental convexity (worst).

    The participant evaluated their chin and neck area using the Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (a 5-point scale) where: 0=no chin fat at all (best) to 4= a very large amount of chin fat (worst).

  2. Percentage of Participants With at Least a 2-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on Both the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS) and Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS) Assessments

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

    The investigator evaluated the participant's chin and neck area using the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (a 5-point scale) where: 0=absent submental convexity (best) to 4= extreme submental convexity (worst).

    The participant evaluated their chin and neck area using the Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (a 5-point scale) where: 0=no chin fat at all (best) to 4= a very large amount of chin fat (worst).

  3. Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS)

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

    The investigator evaluated the participant's chin and neck area using the CR-SMFRS 5-point scale where: 0=absent submental convexity (best) to 4= extreme submental convexity (worst).

  4. Percentage of Participants With at Least a 2-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS)

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

    The investigator evaluated the participant's chin and neck area using the CR-SMFRS 5-point scale where: 0=absent submental convexity (best) to 4= extreme submental convexity (worst).

  5. Percentage of Participants With at Least a 1-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on the Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS)

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

    The participant evaluated their chin and neck area using the PR-SMFRS 5-point scale where: 0=no chin fat at all (best) to 4= a very large amount of chin fat (worst).

  6. Percentage of Participants With at Least a 2-Grade Reduction (Improvement) at 12 Weeks From Last Treatment Based on the Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS)

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

    The participant evaluated their chin and neck area using the PR-SMFRS 5-point scale where: 0=no chin fat at all (best) to 4= a very large amount of chin fat (worst).

  7. Change From Baseline in Submental Skin Laxity Grade Scale (SMSLG)

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Week 32 (12 weeks after last treatment)

    The SMSLG is an integration of three features: skin wrinkling, adherence to underlying neck structures (bone and muscle) and redundancy (horizontal and vertical folds). Each grade (1=none, 2=mild, 3=moderate and 4=severe) defines the maximal allowed limit for skin wrinkling, adherence to underlying structures and redundancy.
