Investigating Age Dependence of Fibroblast and Extracellular Matrix Responses to Cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid Filler in Human Skin

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT06195605 is an interventional study for Photoaging that is recruiting. It started on May 9, 2024 with plans to enroll 15 participants. Led by University of Michigan, it is expected to complete by November 1, 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on July 8, 2025.
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of the injection of dermal filler on the quality of the skin dermal extracellular matrix in persons between the ages of 30-50 years. The quality of the dermal extracellular matrix will be assessed following injection of dermal filler compared to injection of saline vehicle.

ExperimentalPhotodamaged skin
Restylane-l
Using a small gauge metal hub needle, two injections of CL-HA dermal filler (Restylane-L) will be performed, each into a small area (approximately 2 x 2 cm) of the mid-dermis of a forearm of a subject. Each injection will be 0.5 cc in volume, and will be approximately 2 cm apart from each other
Vehicle
Two injections of vehicle will be performed in the same manner as Restylane-L and in the same forearm, totaling 4 injections. A plastic template will be used to track the location of the injections, relative to landmarks on the skin.
Primary Outcome Measures

Extracellular Matrix (ECM) deposition as measured using histological stain(s) of skin
Reported as a semi-quantitative grade. The grading scale is 1-4. The higher the number to increased ECM deposition.

  • Individuals with active inflammation or infection of the skin, including active herpes infection.

  • Have a significant medical history or concurrent condition which the investigator(s) feel is not safe for study participation, including history of frequent herpes infections, and subjects planning to be exposed to excessive sun, Ultraviolet lamps and extreme cold weather during the first week after injection.

  • History of allergies to gram positive bacterial proteins

  • Individuals with who have undergone therapy with thrombolytics, anticoagulants, or inhibitors of platelet aggregation in the preceding 3 weeks.

  • Have an active inflammation or infection of the skin near the site of injection

  • Are taking any medications that suppress your immune system

  • Have severe allergies to medications or other things that we believe might make participation unsafe for you

  • Have a history of connective tissue diseases, such as:

    • rheumatoid arthritis
