A Parallel, Randomized, Double Blind, Multi-center, Active Drug Controlled, Phase III Clinical Trial to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of MT10109L Versus BOTOX® in Treatment of Glabella Line(Including a Preliminary Study to Evaluate Safety of MT10109L)
A Parallel, Randomized, Double Blind, Multi-center, Active Drug Controlled, Phase III Clinical Trial to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of MT10109L Versus BOTOX® in Treatment of Glabella Line(Including a Preliminary Study to Evaluate Safety of MT10109L)
This study design is multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, active controlled, phase 3 clinical trial(Including randomized, double-blind, parallel group, active controlled, preliminary study). Subjects who voluntarily signed the informed consent and are judged to be eligible for this study will be intramuscularly injected with the study drug or the comparator at a total of 20U(4U/0.1ml each)in five sites of the glabella line. Thereafter, follow-up visits will be made 4 weeks, 10weeks, 16weeks and efficacy and safety assessments will be conducted for total 16 weeks.
Inclusion Criteria:
Main inclusion criteria
1. Patients attaining ≥grade 2(moderate) in the investigator's rating of the severity of glabella line at maximum frown
Other inclusion criteria
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with general neuromuscular synaptic disorder(e.g. Myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
Patients who have bleeding tendency or taking anti-coagulant
Patients suffering from acute diseases

Patients with skin damage or infection at the injection site.
Patients who have received or have a plan to receive other procedures which may affect glabella and forehead lines within 6 months
* These treatments include soft tissue augmentation in the range of glabella (e.g. hyaluronic acid or collagen-type implants), medium depth peels, facial lifting, dermal photorejuvenation et cetera.
Patients whose glabella lines cannot be satisfactorily improved with physical method since the lines are not flattened even using hands
Patients who are participating in other clinical trials or have participated in other clinical trials within 30days of the screening date.
Patients who are unable to communicate or follow the instructions
Patients who are not eligible for this study at the discretion of the investigator
