What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of HU-045 compared to Xeomin® in patients with moderate to severe glabellar lines. It is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel, active-controlled Phase III trial. Participants will be evaluated based on their facial wrinkle severity and will receive either HU-045 or Xeomin® to determine which treatment is more effective in reducing frown lines.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 19 to 65 with moderate to severe frown lines as assessed by a facial wrinkle scale.

Not a fit: Patients with certain neurological disorders, facial asymmetry, or a history of specific medical conditions may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters
