Responder Rate for Décolleté Wrinkles According to the Merz Aesthetics Scale (MAS)-At Rest Scale as Assessed by the Blinded Live Rater Primary · 16 weeks after the last treatment on Week 16 (at Week 32)

The percentage of responders (responder rate) was defined as greater than or equal to (\>=) 1-point improvement on MAS décolleté wrinkles from baseline to 16 weeks after last treatment as assessed by the blinded live rater. Responder rate for décolleté wrinkles at rest was assessed using MAS-at rest scale. The MAS-at rest scale included five-point scale: 0 = no wrinkles, 1 = mild wrinkles, 2 = moderate wrinkles, 3 = severe wrinkles, 4 = very severe wrinkles. The higher score indicated the worst outcome.

GroupValue95% CI
Group A: MRZF111 (3 Injections)71.856.2 – 83.5
Group B: MRZF111 (2 Injections)83.771.0 – 91.5
Pooled Treatment Group (Group A: MRZF111 [3 Injections] + Group B: MRZF111 [2 Injections])73.562.8 – 82.5
Responder Rate for Décolleté Wrinkles According to the MAS-Dynamic Scale as Assessed by the Blinded Live Rater (Last Observation Carried Forward [LOCF]) Secondary · 16 weeks after the last treatment on Week 16 (at Week 32)

The percentage of responders (responder rate) was defined as \>= 1-point improvement on MAS décolleté wrinkles from baseline to 16 weeks after last treatment as assessed by the blinded live rater. Responder rate for décolleté wrinkles at dynamic was assessed using MAS-Dynamic Scale. The MAS-Dynamic Scale included five-point scale: 0 = no wrinkles, 1 = mild wrinkles, 2 = moderate wrinkles, 3 = severe wrinkles, 4 = very severe wrinkles. The higher score indicated the worst outcome.

GroupValue95% CI

Percentage of Participants With Aesthetic Improvement After the Décolleté Wrinkles Treatments Based on Investigator's Treatment Satisfaction Assessment Scale (LOCF) Secondary · 16 weeks after the last treatment on Week 16 (at Week 32)

Treatment satisfaction is defined as a rating of +3 (Very satisfied), +2 (Satisfied) or +1 (Somewhat satisfied). The treating investigators were asked to rate their level of satisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of the participant's décolleté after treatment. The investigator responded on a 7-point scale: - 3 = very dissatisfied, - 2 = dissatisfied, - 1 = somewhat dissatisfied, 0 = neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, + 1 = somewhat satisfied, + 2 = satisfied, + 3 = very satisfied. The higher score indicated aesthetic improvement.

Percentage of Participants With Aesthetic Improvement After the Décolleté Wrinkles Treatments Based on Participant's Treatment Satisfaction Assessment Scale (LOCF) Secondary · 16 weeks after the last treatment on Week 16 (at Week 32)

Treatment satisfaction is defined as a rating of +3 (Very satisfied), +2 (Satisfied) or +1 (Somewhat satisfied). The participants were asked to rate their level of satisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of their décolleté after treatment. The participants responded on a 7-point scale: - 3 = very dissatisfied, - 2 = dissatisfied, - 1 = somewhat dissatisfied, 0 = neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, + 1 = somewhat satisfied, + 2 = satisfied, + 3 = very satisfied. The higher score indicated aesthetic improvement.

Pooled Treatment Group (Group A: MRZF111 [3 Injections] + Group B: MRZF111 [2 Injections])70.161.3 – 77.6
Percentage of Participants With Global Aesthetic Improvement Based on the Investigator's Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale on Décolleté Wrinkles (iGAIS-Wrinkles) as Assessed by the Treating Investigator (LOCF) Secondary · 16 weeks after the last treatment on Week 16 (at Week 32)

Improvement is defined as a rating of +1 (Improved), +2 (Much improved) or +3 (Very much improved). Treating investigators used iGAIS-Wrinkles to assess aesthetic improvement in participants. The assessment was performed by treating investigator by live rating using standardized pre-treatment photographs for comparison. Treating investigator was asked based on their clinical experience to rate their overall impression of change of participant's décolleté wrinkles due to treatment. The investigator responded on a 7-point scale: - 3 = very much worse, - 2 = much worse, - 1 = worse, 0 = no change

Percentage of Participants With Global Aesthetic Improvement Based on the Subject's Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale on Décolleté Wrinkles (sGAIS-Wrinkles) as Assessed by the Participant (LOCF) Secondary · 16 weeks after the last treatment on Week 16 (at Week 32)

Improvement is defined as a rating of +1 (Improved), +2 (Much improved) or +3 (Very much improved). The sGAIS-wrinkles was used to assess aesthetic improvement in the participants. The assessment was performed by the participant by live rating using standardized pre-treatment photographs for comparison. The participant was asked to rate their overall impression of change of their décolleté wrinkles due to treatment. The participant responded on a 7-point scale: - 3 = very much worse, - 2 = much worse, - 1 = worse, 0 = no change, + 1 = improved, + 2 = much improved, + 3 = very much improved.
