THORNHILL, ON, Aug. 14, 2018 /CNW/ - Galderma Canada, an emerging leader in Aesthetics, is pleased to announce that Health Canada has approved DYSPORT AESTHETIC™ (abobotulinumtoxinA) for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe lateral canthal lines (crow's feet) in adult patients. DYSPORT AESTHETIC is also approved for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines) in adult patients younger than 65 years of age.
An injectable treatment, the new application of DYSPORT AESTHETIC temporarily blocks the nerve activity in the muscles that cause crow's feet, or wrinkles, around the outer edges of the eyes.1
"The new indication for DYSPORT AESTHETIC adds to the strong body of clinical data that has supported the brand for the past 25 years," said Wendy Adams, General Manager of Galderma Canada. "As a leader in the aesthetic market, Galderma Canada is pleased to demonstrate our investment and commitment to building on our portfolio and continuing to provide innovative products with natural-looking results."
DATA THAT SUPPORTS APPROVAL1
The approval of DYSPORT AESTHETIC by Health Canada is based on the results of a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study that involved 335 subjects. The temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe LCLs was assessed by investigators using a validated 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe). In addition, subject satisfaction with the appearance of their lateral canthal lines (LCLs) was assessed as a secondary endpoint using a 4-level rating (very satisfied, satisfied, dissatisfied, very dissatisfied). Treatment success was defined as the proportion of responders at Week 4 on the severity of LCLs as none or mild at maximum smile. Duration of effect, compared with placebo, was assessed up to week 16. Results demonstrated that at week 4, DYSPORT AESTHETIC significantly reduced the severity of LCLs) compared with placebo at maximum smile. Duration of effect with DYSPORT AESTHETIC was seen for up to 12 weeks, the time-point when subjects were offered a re-treatment.
