Official Title: Open Label, Multicenter, Single Arm Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of Polyacrylamide Hydrogel Injection in the Management of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Related Facial Lipoatrophy : THE LIPOPHILL T
Brief Summary:
Combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) is associated with facial lipoatrophy, which is potentially stigmatizing for HIV-positive patients. Eutrophill is a 2.5% polyacrylamide hydrogel obtained by polymerization of acrylamide monomers with an official half-life of 5 years.
Preliminary encouraging results with the use of polyacrylamide hydrogel for reconstruction of facial lipoatrophy in HIV-infected patients have been previously reported.
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of subcutaneous facial injections of Eutrophill in HIV-infected patients with severe facial lipoatrophy as assessed by facial ultrasonography at screening , after 6, 12 and 24 months
