Development of Collagenase Treatment for Dupuytren Disease.

Hand Clinics 2018 August
Proof-of-principle, basic-science studies, using a rat-tail tendon model and surgically removed Dupuytren cords, began collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) development. Clinical studies in humans were then conducted, where the primary endpoint was reduction in contracture to within 0° to 5° of extension. Phase 2 studies, which confirmed the optimal dose of collagenase as 0.58 mg, showed injectable CCH reduced contractures in MP and PIP joints to within 0° to 5° in many joints and was well tolerated. Clinical results from phase 3 studies confirmed the efficacy and safety of injectable CCH as a viable nonsurgical intervention.
