| NCT00444626 | A Study to Compare the Safety and Effectiveness of a Non-FDA Approved Device Dermal Gel Extra (DGE) and an FDA Approved Device for the Correction of Nasolabial Folds (NLFs) | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 140 | — | — | May 1, 2007 | Jul 1, 2008 | Apr 22, 2015 | 6 | United States |
This was a comparison of the mean change between Baseline and the Week 24 score (baseline minus week 24 scores) in the blinded evaluators' assessments of NLF wrinkle severity. A positive value for the mean change indicates an improvement. Genzyme 6-Point Grading Scale (GGS) for NLF was used for the assessment. A GGS score of zero indicates no wrinkles and a score of 5 indicates very deep wrinkles with redundant folds.
| Arm | Type | Description |

| DGE | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants received DGE in one nasolabial fold (NLF) of one side of their face (blinded, split-face study design) in the Initial Treatment period. Participants who continued into the Repeat Treatment period were treated with DGE as an open-label treatment. |
| Restylane | ACTIVE_COMPARATOR | Participants received Restylane in one nasolabial fold (NLF) of one side of their face (blinded, split-face study design) in the Initial Treatment period. |

| Dermal Gel Extra (DGE) | DEVICE | Dermal Gel Extra (DGE) Injectable Gel contains hyaluronic acid with lidocaine. DGE was administered to nasolabial folds via the intradermal route. The Principal Investigator was instructed to inject a sufficient amount of DGE to ensure full correction of the NLF wrinkles (i.e., to the optimal level of correction achievable). Up to 2 touch-up treatments were allowed in the Initial Treatment period. |
| Restylane | DEVICE | Restylane was administered to nasolabial folds via the intradermal route. The Principal Investigator was instructed to inject a sufficient amount of Restylane to ensure full correction of the NLF wrinkles (i.e., to the optimal level of correction achievable). Up to 2 touch-up treatments were allowed in the Initial Treatment period. |
| EMLA Cream | DRUG | EMLA Cream (Eutectic Mixture of Local Anesthetics) is an FDA-approved topical anesthetic comprised of 2.5% each of lidocaine/prilocaine. EMLA Cream was applied in approximately equal amounts prior to all injections of DGE and Restylane. |
Inclusion Criteria (abbreviated list): * Bilateral nasolabial folds (NLF) with severity score of 3 or 4 on the 6 point scale. Exclusion Criteria (abbreviated list): * Pregnant/lactating women. * Subjects who have an allergy to lidocaine, prilocaine or other amide-type anesthetic. * Had a chemical...
