Protocol summary

Study aim
A phase III, randomized, tow armed, double-blinded, parallel, active-controlled, non-inferiority clinical trial to compare efficacy and safety of Abobotulinum toxin A(Espad Pharmed) versus Abobotulinum toxin A(Dysport®, Ipsen Co.) for correction of moderate to severe glabellar line
Design
Two arm parallel group randomized double blind active controlled trial with 140 participants. Random Chain Generation performed using by R-CRAN version 4.2.1. We used randomized permutations, blocks (the size of each block is 4) for a total of 146 volunteers (1: 1 ratio).
Settings and conduct
This clinical study is conducted on volunteers at the Center for research and training in skin diseases and leprosy. Before the intervention skin photograph will be taken for full face and frown lines, as well as urine lab test for the participants, then according to randomization code, the subjects will be treated with the relative drug (test or control). 14, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days later the skin photography will be repeated
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Men and women 18 to 65 years with moderate-to-severe glabellar lines at maximum frown Exclusion criteria: Previous treatment in the glabellar area within 12 months prior to randomization History of facial plastic surgery, eyebrow lift and dermal resurfacing Allergies to botulinum neurotoxin
Intervention groups
Intervention group: botulinum toxin type A (product of Imen Vaccine Alborz CO) 500iu vial, intra muscular injection, 40-60iu in 2.5 cc normal saline in 3 to 5 point in frontal area in one visit Control group: Dysport (product of IPSEN) 500iu vial, intra muscular injection, 40-60iu in 2.5 cc normal saline in 3 to 5 point in frontal area in one visit
Main outcome variables
Percentage of subjects with improvement in Glabellar Lines at maximum frown

Randomization description
Random Chain Generation performed using by R-CRAN version 4.2.1. We used randomized permutations, blocks (the size of each block is 4) for a total of 146 volunteers (1: 1 ratio). The codes will be labeled on the drugs. After ensuring the volunteer's eligibility and signing the informed consent form, a nurse will receive a code from the study site which will be used for random allocation of the drug to the candidate. The related drug will be injected for the volunteer. In this way, the volunteers fall into one of the two intervention groups and the volunteers' group and the type of drug they receive will not be disclosed to researchers or the study team.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
All volunteers will be examined by a specialist physician at the site of the study and the injection will be done at 3-5 points of the face muscles after examining eligibility for entry. Due to availability of the drug in the study site and sticking the research label on the medications and injections by the doctor, volunteer and the doctor will not be aware of the type of drug. The ICF has also met the purpose of the study and the volunteer knows that it will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups
