About this study

Official title: A Phase 3b Open-label, Historically-controlled Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Two Concurrent Injections of AA4500 in Adult Subjects With Multiple Dupuytren's Contractures With Palpable Cords

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of two concurrent injections of AA4500 into the same hand in subjects with multiple Dupuytren's contractures with palpable cords followed 24 to 72 hours later by a finger extension procedure and compare the rate of occurrence of targeted serious adverse events (tendon rupture/ligament injury and anaphylaxis) to historical rates of the same in clinical studies and post-marketing commercial use.

The secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of two concurrent injections of AA4500.

Read the detailed description

Methodology/Study Design: After all pre-injection procedures are completed on Day 1, eligible men and women will receive two concurrent injections AA4500 (AA4500/AA4500) into cord(s) affecting MP and/or PIP joints on the same or different fingers in the selected hand. A finger extension procedure to facilitate cord disruption will be performed (after administration of local anesthesia, if needed) 24 to 72 hours after injection in those subjects who do not have spontaneous disruption of their cord(s).

Follow up visits for the evaluation of safety and efficacy will be required for all subjects 24 to 72 hours after injection, and on Days 15, 31, and 61.

Upon completion of the day 61 follow-up visit (end of study visit), subjects who require additional treatment in the treated hand may receive up to three additional injections of AA4500 according to the XIAFLEX package insert. Subjects may receive up to a total of five injections and individual cords may receive up to a total of three injections. Subjects who require additional treatment will be followed for safety.

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Total Fixed Flexion

    Percent change from baseline in total fixed flexion = 100 * (baseline total FFC - day 31 total FFC)/baseline total FFC, where total fixed flexion is defined as the sum of the fixed flexion contracture (FCC) of the 2 joints receiving treatment. Positive percent change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 31

  2. Change From Baseline in Total Range of Motion

    The total range of motion (ROM) is the sum of the range of motion measurements of the 2 treated joints. ROM is defined as difference between full flexion angle and full extension expressed in degrees. A positive change from baseline indicates increased (improved) ROM.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 31

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Clinical Success

    Clinical success is defined as reduction of FFC of a treated joint to within 0-5 degrees of normal within 30 days of injection

    Measured: Within 30 days

  2. Clinical Improvement

    Clinical improvement is defined as a reduction of FFC by 50% or greater of the baseline value within 30 days of injection

    Measured: Within 30 days

  3. Subject Assessment of Satisfaction With Treatment at Day 31

    Subject's were asked to rate satisfaction with treatment at the day 31 follow-up visit

    Measured: Day 31

  4. Subject Assessment of Satisfaction With Treatment at Day 61

    Subject's were asked to rate satisfaction with treatment at the day 61 follow-up visit

    Measured: Day 61

  5. Investigator Assessment of Improvement With Treatment at Day 31

    Investigator's determined the degree of improvement in the severity of the subject's treated finger(s) compared with screening at the day 31 follow-up visit.

    Measured: Day 31

  6. Investigator Assessment of Improvement With Treatment at Day 61

    Investigator's determined the degree of improvement in the severity of the subject's treated finger(s) compared with screening at the day 61 follow-up visit.

    Measured: Day 61

  7. Change From Baseline for Unité Rhumatologique Des Affections de la Main Scale at Day 31

    The Unité Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main (URAM) scale is a patient-reported functional 9-item scale (total score 0-45) developed and validated to assess functional outcome of patients suffering from Dupuytren's disease with higher scores indicating greater difficulty using the hand.The estimated clinically important change of the URAM scale is 2.9 points. A decrease in total URAM score indicates improvement in hand function.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 31

  8. Change From Baseline for Unité Rhumatologique Des Affections de la Main Scale at Day 61

    The URAM scale is a patient-reported functional 9-item scale (total score 0-45) developed and validated to assess functional outcome of patients suffering from Dupuytren's disease with higher scores indicating greater difficulty using the hand.The estimated clinically important change of the URAM scale is 2.9 points. A decrease in total URAM score indicates improvement in hand function.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 61

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing XIAFLEX / XIAPEX in people with Dupuytren's Contracture, run by Endo USA Inc., a Keenova Therapeutics Company at 25 sites in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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 5 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in United States. 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 20 Feb 2015). 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?

Percent Change From Baseline in Total Fixed Flexion (time frame: Baseline, Day 31). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Oct 2017.
