Trial Outcomes & Findings for Gene Expression Study Between Two Dermal Injectables Hydroxylapatite Semi-permanent Filler (NCT NCT05620043)

NCT ID: NCT05620043

Last Updated: 2026-04-15

Results Overview

Summary of fold change using by relative quantification method at week 12. Gene expression analysis is performed via qPCR processing using a panel of biomarkers related to scar tissue formation, collagen, elastin, extracellular matrix integrity, epidermal barrier, anti-aging, antioxidant, cell renewal/regeneration, inflammation, growth factor, and hydration among others.

Measure
Poly L-Lactic Acid (PLLA)
Lyophilized PLLA with sodium carboxymethylcellulose, non-pyrogenic mannitol. Treatment needs to be reconstituted prior to injection, following product instruction. Sculptra: Biostimulator
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)
Opaque, sterile, non-pyrogenic, semi-solid, cohesive implant whose component is synthetic CaHA suspended in a gel carrier of glycerin, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride, and sterile water. Treatment injection follows product instruction. Radiesse Plus: Semi-permanent filler
