Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CBL-514 in Participants With EFP; Cellulite (Stage 2) (NCT NCT05836779)

NCT ID: NCT05836779

Last Updated: 2026-07-09

Results Overview

Change in total scores from baseline in the Modified Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale to 4 weeks after the final treatment. The Modified Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale is based on (A) number of evident depressions, (B) depression depth scale, and (C) morphological appearance of skin surface alterations.

Total Scores of the Modified Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale
6.5 scores
STANDARD_DEVIATION 1.0 • n=44 thighs

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to 4 weeks after the final treatment visit

Population: There were 23 participants with 46 thighs randomized at baseline. However, one of the participants was identified violating the exclusion criteria, and hence was removed from the efficacy analysis.

Change in total scores from baseline in the Modified Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale to 4 weeks after the final treatment. The Modified Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale is based on (A) number of evident depressions, (B) depression depth scale, and (C) morphological appearance of skin surface alterations.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to 4 weeks after the final treatment visit

Change in total scores from baseline in the Modified Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale to 4 weeks after the final treatment. The Modified Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale is based on (A) number of evident depressions, (B) depression depth scale, and (C) morphological appearance of skin surface alterations. The total score of (A), (B), and (C) will determine the cellulite severity level as follows : 0 = None 1-3 = Mild 4-6 = Moderate 7-9 = Severe

The Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) is a 5-point scale to assess aesthetic improvement in appearance compared to pre-treatment, as judged by the Investigator. The rating categories are 'worse', 'no change', 'improved', 'much improved', and 'very much improved'. Improvement in GAIS is defined as "improved", "much improved", and "very much improved".

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks after the final treatment visit

Population: There were 23 participants with 46 thighs randomized at baseline. However, one of the participants was identified violating the exclusion criteria, and hence was removed from the efficacy analysis. In addition, another one of the participants failed to report the GAIS score. As a result, a total of 21 participants with 42 thighs were included in this efficacy analysis.
