Tolerability and Efficacy of Anti-Aging Treatment Regimen in Subjects With Photodamage
25 participantsStarted 2013-02
Plain-language summary
The subjects will use the test skincare products. This is a full face, twice daily application study, with digital photos and expert grader evaluations at Baseline, 4 and 8 week periods. If the subject meets the study criteria and is enrolled, they will be instructed at screening visit to discontinue the use of any facial products (except dry mineral foundation and eye make-up) for seven (7) days before beginning the study (referred to as the "washout" period). They will return to the site for the baseline visit 2 after the required 7 day washout period (visit can occur within 1 week after screening visit).

Inclusion criteria
. Subjects must be diagnosed by the investigator or expert grader to have moderate to severe lines/wrinkles (Grade 3 or higher, determined by the Glogau Scale).
. Subjects must be 35 - 65 years of age with no known medical conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with study participation.
. Sexually active females of childbearing potential participating in the study must agree to use a medically-acceptable method of contraception while receiving study product. A woman of childbearing potential is defined as one who is biologically capable of becoming pregnant; including perimenopausal women who are less than 2 years from their last menses. Exception: Sexually inactive females of childbearing potential are not required to practice a reliable method of contraception and may be enrolled at the investigator's discretion, provided that they understand the possible risks involved in getting pregnant during the study and are counseled to remain sexually inactive for the duration of the study or to practice a reliable method of contraception if becoming sexually active during the study.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Glogau Photodamage Scale: the change between the photodamage grade at Week 4 and Week 8 compared to the photodamage grade at the Baseline Visit.
. Any dermatologic disorder, which in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with the accurate evaluation of the subject's facial skin. Examples of such disorders include severe acne vulgaris, acne conglobata, acne fulminans, facial seborrheic dermatitis, and lupus erythematosus.
