Sequential Treatment With BELKYRA® Then Juvéderm® VOLUMA™ With Lidocaine for Overall Improvement in Jawline Contour

This study has been designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of sequential treatment with BELKYRA® (for the treatment of convexity and fullness associated with submental fat) and VOLUMA™ (to restore volume along the mandibular border) to enhance the overall contour of the jawline.

  • Has current injection site inflammatory or infectious processes, abscess, an unhealed wound, or a known cancerous or precancerous lesion in chin, masseter, or submental region
  • Planned oral surgery or other dental procedures (e.g., tooth extraction, orthodontia, or implantation) within 2 weeks prior to and after VOLUMA™ treatment

Treatment and study plan

BELKYRA®

Drug

BELKYRA® was injected into preplatysma fat tissue in the submental area (at least 1 plus up to 5 optional treatments, for maximum of 6 treatments 8 weeks apart).

Juvéderm® VOLUMA™ with Lidocaine

Device

Juvéderm® VOLUMA™ with Lidocaine VOLUMA™ was injected along the mandibular border.

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Showed ≥ 1-point Jawline Improvement From Baseline on the Allergan Loss of Jawline Definition Scale (ALJDS), as Assessed by the Investigator

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

    The ALJDS was an investigator assessment of loss of jawline definition measured by a 5-point scale where: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=extreme. Data is reported for both sides of the face, right side of the face and left side of the face.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean Change From Baseline to Last BELKYRA® Treatment on the ALJDS

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Last Treatment (Up to Week 48)

    The ALJDS was an investigator and independent reviewer assessment of jawline contour measured by a 5-point scale where: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=extreme. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement. The data is reported for both sides of the face, right side of the face and left side of the face.

  2. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit in the FACE-Q™ Satisfaction With Lower Face and Jawline Score

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

    The participant assessed satisfaction using the 5 items on the Satisfaction of Lower Face and Jawline module of the FACE-Q™ questionnaire, measured on a 4-point scale where: 1=very dissatisfied, 2=somewhat dissatisfied, 3=somewhat satisfied, 4=very satisfied. The Rasch transformed scale total score was 0 (worst) to 100 (best). A positive change from baseline indicated improvement.

  3. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit in the FACE-Q™ Appraisal of Neck

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

    The participant assessed satisfaction using the 10 items on the Appraisal of Neck module of the FACE-Q™ questionnaire measured on a 4-point scale where: 1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=moderately, 4=extremely. The Rasch transformed scale total score was 0 (worst) to 100 (best). A positive change from baseline indicated improvement.

  4. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit for FACE-Q™ Appraisal of Area Under Chin

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

    The participant assessed satisfaction using the 5 items on the Appraisal of Area Under Chin module of the FACE-Q™ questionnaire measured on a 4-point scale where: 1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=moderately, 4=extremely. The Rasch transformed scale total score was 0 (worst) to 100 (best). A negative change from baseline indicated worsening.

  5. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit for Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS)

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

    The CR-SMFRS score was based on the investigator's clinical evaluation of the participant, where submental fullness was scored on a 5-point scale where: 0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, and 4=extreme. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

  6. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit for Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS)

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

    The PR-SMFRS was based on the participant's response to the question "How much fat do you have under your chin right now?" and answered on a 5-point ordinal scale where: 0=no chin fat at all, 1=a slight amount of chin fat, 2=a moderate amount of chin fat, 3=a large amount of chin fat, and 4=a very large amount of chin fat. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

  7. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit for Submental Skin Laxity Grade (SMSLG) Score

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

    The SMSLG scale integrated 3 skin features: skin wrinkling, adherence to underlying neck structures (bone and muscle), and redundancy (horizontal and vertical folds) assessed by the investigator using a 4-point scale where: 1=none, 2=mild, 3=moderate and 4=severe. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

  8. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Study Visit in Jawline Definition, Based on Independent Reviewer Assessment Using the ALJDS and Photographic Images

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 58

    The independent reviewer used photographic images collected at the time of the participant's live visit and the ALJDS to assess of loss of jawline definition using a 5-point scale where: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=extreme. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
