What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of HG102, a botulinum toxin type A injection, in treating moderate to severe glabellar lines. The study will compare HG102 to Botox® to determine if it is non-inferior in effectiveness while also evaluating its safety profile. Participants will be adults aged 19 to 65 who exhibit significant glabellar lines and meet specific inclusion criteria. The trial will involve regular visits to monitor outcomes and any adverse effects.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 19 to 65 with moderate to severe glabellar lines.

Not a fit: Patients with facial infections, skin diseases, or those who have had similar treatments within the last 12 weeks may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide an effective alternative to Botox® for patients seeking to reduce glabellar lines.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with botulinum toxin treatments, suggesting that this approach is well-established.
