Analyze Previously Collected Biopsy Samples From Participants Who Completed the "SPLASH: Split-Body study of Poly-L-Lactic Acid for Adipogenesis and Volumization of the Hip Dell" Study
This study is active but not recruiting in the United States. It focuses on Lateral Gluteal Depression.
Key information made simple
What is this study testing?
This study is testing whether Poly-L-Lactic Acid may be useful for people experiencing depression.
What would participation involve?
Participants may receive Poly-L-Lactic Acid, complete questionnaires or follow-up assessments, provide blood samples or biological tests. The protocol may also involve randomization, placebo, or a comparison group. The registry lists locations in the United States.
Who is it mainly for?
This study appears to be mainly for people with depression.
What should you check before joining?
Ask about the dose, safety monitoring, and possible side effects, whether there is placebo, randomization, or a comparison group, how many visits or travel steps are needed, the exact eligibility criteria.
Your next step
The official record suggests in-person participation through a clinic, with sites including Cosmetic Laser Dermatology/West Dermatology Research Center in San Diego. Participation appears to center on assessments, scans, or samples rather than trying a new treatment. The main fit is usually meeting the main study requirements, while common reasons not to take part include other factors that could make participation unsuitable. The official record does not list a trial phase, which usually means the study is focused on observation rather than testing a staged treatment.
Questions to ask before joining
- What are the exact eligibility criteria, and what could exclude someone?
- How many visits, assessments, or follow-ups are expected, and over what period?
- What risks, side effects, practical burdens, or alternatives should be understood first?
- Who should be contacted to confirm locations, timing, compensation, and next steps?

Questions about this study
What is this study trying to understand?
This study is exploring observational follow-up for people with depression. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.
Does this study involve biological samples, imaging, or biomarkers?
This appears to be a biological / biomarker / imaging study. The phase is not clearly listed in the public registry. Phase is mostly relevant for medication studies and some device studies. For this study, it may be more useful to look at what is required, the duration, visits, and eligibility criteria.
Who might this study be for?
This study may concern people with depression. The criteria appear fairly broad, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.
What would I likely need to do?
You may need to provide biological samples, complete lab tests, or take part in imaging or measurement procedures. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.
What should I check about samples, imaging, data, and possible discomfort?
If the study involves samples, imaging, or biomarkers, ask what is collected, how it is stored, who can access results, whether there may be discomfort, and whether results are shared with you. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.
Will I need to travel or attend in-person visits?
The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.
Who is behind this study?
This study is sponsored by Goldman, Butterwick, Fitzpatrick and Groff, which appears to be unknown or unclear. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.
Can I still join this study?
The registry indicates that the study is active but not currently recruiting. This usually means participants may already be involved, but new participants may not be accepted.
