NCT ID NCT06481475

First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new injection called YY003, a recombinant botulinum neurotoxin type A, for treating moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. Participants receive a single set of small injections into five points between the brows. The trial measures how well the treatment reduces frown line severity and tracks any side effects, including immune responses.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

YY003 (recombinant botulinum neurotoxin type A)

What this could lead to

If successful, YY003 could offer a new option for temporarily smoothing frown lines, potentially with fewer side effects than current botulinum toxin products.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 study with only 149 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. As with any injection, risks include bruising, pain, or temporary muscle weakness.
