 Suneva tests Artefill for Acne Scar Treatment

San Diego — Suneva Medical has launched a multicenter phase 3 study to investigate the efficacy of the dermal filler Artefill (polymethylmethacrylate) for treatment of acne scars.
The 150-patient prospective study will be conducted at 10 centers throughout the United States and will enroll its first patient by February, the company says. 

The Food and Drug Administration approved Artefill for correction of nasolabial folds in 2006.
In a company statement, Suneva Chairman and CEO Nicholas Teti said, “We believe Artefill’s unique composition may provide (acne) patients a real solution for what many thought would be a lifelong problem. We are pleased to be working with a strong and prominent group of investigators on this trial as we look to expand the indications for Artefill.”
