What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Percentage of Participants That Were Successfully Treated With a "Successful Reduction in Contracture to 5°or Less"

    The Primary Outcome Measure for participants who were enrolled at Step1 through Step2 and treated with AK160 is the percentage of 77 participants that were successfully treated where "successfully treated" was defined as reduction in the contracture of the first treated joint to 5° or less. The injection was allowed up to 3 times.

    Measured: 30 days after the last injection

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Clinical Improvement After the Last Injection

    The Secondary Outcome Measure for participants who were enrolled at Step1 through Step2 and treated with AK160 is the percentage of 77 participants that were clinically improved where "clinically improved" was defined as reduction in the contracture of the first treated joint by 50% or more from the baseline. The injection was allowed up to 3 times.

    Measured: 30 days after the last injection

  2. Percent Reduction From Baseline Contracture After the Last Injection

    The Secondary Outcome Measure for participants who were enrolled at Step1 through Step2 and treated with AK160 is the mean percent decrease from baseline degree of contracture in primary joints after the last injection. The injection was allowed up to 3 times.

    Measured: 30 days after last treatment

  3. Change From Baseline Range of Motion After the Last Injection

    The Secondary Outcome Measure for participants who were enrolled at Step1 through Step2 and treated with AK160 is the change from baseline range of motion in primary joints after the last injection. The injection was allowed up to 3 times.

    Measured: 30 days after last treatment

  4. Time to First Achieve and Maintain Clinical Success After the Last Injection

    The Secondary Outcome Measure for participants who were enrolled at Step1 through Step2 and treated with AK160 is the time to first achieve and maintain clinical success after the last injection where "clinical success" was defined as reduction in the contracture of the first treated joint to 5° or less. The injection was allowed up to 3 times.

    Measured: First evaluation visit on which clinical success is achieved and maintained through the Day 30 evaluation of each injections, assessed up to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum in people with Dupuytren's Contracture, run by Asahi Kasei Therapeutics Corporation at 20 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Feb 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Percentage of Participants That Were Successfully Treated With a "Successful Reduction in Contracture to 5°or Less" (time frame: 30 days after the last injection). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01588353, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Mar 2017.
