What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether a brand of dissolvable PDO lifting threads, Noble Lift, works as well as an existing brand, Croquis, for lifting the eyebrows, mid-face, and jawline. In this split-face study, 65 adults receive one brand on one side of the face and the other brand on the other side, so each person acts as their own comparison. Doctors rate how much the face improves using a 5-point scale, and they track jowl laxity, patient satisfaction, and photographs for 12 months. The study also monitors safety and side effects of the threads and the procedure.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Noble Lift PDO lifting threads, a resorbable suture device used for nonsurgical face lifting
What this could lead to
If the threads perform as well as the comparator, they could offer another nonsurgical option for people seeking a temporary lift of the eyebrows, mid-face, or jawline.
What could go wrong
This is a small, 65-person study of a cosmetic device, so results may not reflect how the threads perform in a wider range of skin types and faces. Thread lifts can cause bruising, swelling, dimpling, or asymmetry, and the lifting effect fades as the threads dissolve.
