Abstract
BACKGROUND
ATX-101 is indicated for submental fat treatment.
OBJECTIVE
Evaluate ATX-101 versus placebo for reducing submental fat.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Adults with unwanted submental fat across 6 global sites were randomized to ATX-101 (0.5%, 1.0%, or 2.0%) or placebo for ≤4 treatments every 28 days. Outcomes included safety (adverse events and pain visual analog scale) throughout the study and efficacy (submental fat rating, patient satisfaction, and submental fat improvements) at Week 16.
RESULTS
Eighty-four of 85 enrolled patients received ≥1 ATX-101 treatment (0.5% [n = 20], 1.0% [n = 20], 2.0% [n = 22] or placebo [n = 22]). Most patients (n = 82) experienced adverse events, which were mostly mild/moderate, seemed to be dose-related, and led to no study discontinuations. The mean pain scores were highest in the ATX-101 1.0% and 2.0% groups. Week-16 change from baseline in the submental fat rating scale was significantly greater for ATX-101 0.5% and 1.0% versus placebo (p ≤ .05). At Week 16, 71%, 74%, 53%, and 40% of patients in the ATX-101 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, and placebo groups, respectively, achieved a ≥1-grade reduction in submental fat from baseline. Satisfaction with appearance and patient-assessed global improvement ratings increased in all ATX-101 treatment groups versus placebo.
CONCLUSION
All ATX-101 concentrations were safe and efficacious for moderate/severe submental fat reduction.
