A Post Approval, Multicenter, Open-Label, Longitudinal, Uncontrolled Safety Study of Cosmetic Tissue Augmentation Product (ELEVESS™) in the Treatment of Nasolabial Folds in People of Color
Elevess is intended for all skin types. However, further study of all soft tissue fillers is
needed in people of color because of the increasing use of cosmetic dermal filler products.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety of an injectable hyaluronic acid based dermal
filler Elevess (Anika Therapeutics, Inc., Bedford, MA). Safety will be evaluated by incidence
and severity of keloid formation and pigmentation changes, and other potential adverse events
in people with Fitzpatrick skin types IV, V and VI who have elected to undergo nasolabial
fold (NLF) treatment with Elevess.
1. Fitzpatrick Classification of Skin Type as: IV - Burns minimally, always tans well
(moderate/light brown skin; Mediterranean, Asian, Hispanic. V - Rarely burns, tans profusely
(dark brown/brown skin: Middle eastern, Latin, light skinned Black, Indian) VI - Never burns,
(deeply pigmented dark brown to black skin;Black)

(deeply pigmented dark brown to black skin;Black)
This study is designed to be an open-label, longitudinal, uncontrolled study in a minimum of
100 subjects with Fitzpatrick scale skin type of IV, V or VI at 10 or more U.S. centers who
have elected to undergo NLF treatment with intradermal (deep dermal) injection of Elevess.
Subjects will be followed for a minimum of 24 weeks with visit assessments at 2, 6, 12 and 24
weeks after the last injection.
Safety: Primary Safety Endpoint assessments will be: 1) keloid formation at the site of
injection at 2, 6, 12 and 24 weeks, 2) pigmentation changes at the site of injection compared
to adjacent skin at 2, 6, 12 and 24 weeks, and 3) overall adverse events. A subject diary
will also be collected.
Effectiveness: No formal effectiveness evaluation will be performed.
