"Efficacy and Safety of OnabotulinumtoxinA for the Treatment of Platysma Prominence: A Randomized Phase 2 Dose-Ranging Study".
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 2024 April 20
BACKGROUND: With aging, repetitive contraction of the platysma leads to an increase in platysma prominence (PP) characterized by the accentuation of vertical neck bands and blunting of the jawline's contour.
METHODS: This multicenter, double-blind, phase 2 study evaluated onabotulinumtoxinA (onabotA) treatment in adults with Moderate to Severe PP. Participants were randomized to receive 1 treatment of onabotA low dose (LD), onabotA high dose (HD), or placebo, and were followed for 4 months. Efficacy endpoints were the achievement of a ≥ 1-grade improvement on both the left and right sides at Day 14 at maximum contraction as assessed by the investigator (primary) or by participants (secondary) using validated scales. Safety was evaluated throughout.
RESULTS: Participants in the modified intent-to-treat population (N = 164) had a mean age of 50 years; 95.1% were female and 93.9% were White. The primary endpoint was met for both onabotA groups, with investigator-assessed ≥ 1-grade improvement in 77.8% (LD) and 88.2% (HD) vs 12.0% (placebo) of participants on Day 14 (P < 0.0001 vs placebo). Based on participant self-assessment, 75.9% (LD) and 88.2% (HD) vs 18.0% (placebo) achieved ≥ 1-grade improvement on Day 14 (P < 0.0001 vs placebo). Most treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were procedure-related, transient, and mild in severity. The most frequent onabotA-related AE was neck muscle weakness, reported in the HD group.
CONCLUSIONS: OnabotA was effective in improving the appearance of PP based on both investigators' and participants' ratings. Treatment was well tolerated.
