Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with moderate to severe glabellar lines at maximum f urrow who are healthy enough for injectable botulinum toxin therapy and have no history of botulinum toxin allergy.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with severe resting glabellar lines, certain health risks, or prior botulinum toxin immunization may not benefit or could be excluded from benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2, interventional trial examines the safety and efficacy of a single treatment using a co-reconstituted mix of trenibotulinumtoxinE and onabotulinumtoxinA for adults with moderate to severe glabellar and upper facial lines. It has two parts, with Part 1 focusing on glabellar lines. Participants are randomized to receive the toxin combination, onabotulinumtoxinA alone, or placebo, to compare outcomes. Eligibility requires measurable glabellar line severity, good overall health, and no contraindicating conditions. Exclusion criteria include severe resting glabellar lines and prior botulinum toxin immunization.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience greater or longer-lasting reduction of upper facial lines from a single treatment.

How similar studies have gone: Prior botulinum toxin studies show benefit for facial lines, but this specific combination approach is investigational and novel.

* For glabellar lines (GL) indication: participant must have moderate or severe GL at maximum furrow as assessed by both the investigator and participant using the AGLSS at Screening and Baseline (Day 1) visits.
* Participant must be in good health as per investigator's judgment based on medical history, physical examination, vital sign measurements, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, clinical laboratory evaluations, and neurological assessment.
* In the investigator's opinion, participant must not have a condition or be in a situation that may put the participant at significant risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere significantly with the participant's participation in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* For GL Indication: Severe GL at rest as assessed by the investigator using the AGLSS at Screening or Baseline (Day 1).
* History of immunization to any botulinum neurotoxin serotype or hypersensitivity to any botulinum neurotoxin serotype or any other constituents of the study drug or its excipients
* Active infection or dermatological condition at the treatment injection sites.
