New wrinkle treatment aims to rival botox in Head-to-Head trial
NCT ID NCT07622004
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether a new botulinum toxin type A injection, called INI101, works as well as Botox for treating moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. About 292 adults aged 19 to 65 with at least moderate lines at maximum frown will receive a single dose of either INI101 or Botox. The main goal is to see how many people have improved wrinkle appearance after 4 weeks, as judged by a doctor using a standard scale.
