MALVERN, Pa., March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --
Endo, Inc. (OTCQX: NDOI) announced today that data related to the use of XIAFLEX® (collagenase clostridium histolyticum, or CCH) for the treatment of recurrence of Dupuytren contracture following surgical correction will be presented during the Triennial Congress of the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (IFSSH) and International Federation of Societies for Hand Therapy (IFSHT), taking place March 24-28, 2025.
About Dupuytren Contracture
Dupuytren contracture is a progressive hand condition in which a collagen rope-like cord forms beneath the skin of the palm, pulling fingers inward toward the palm. It affects an estimated 17 million Americans.
"These findings may help healthcare providers manage Dupuytren contracture in patients experiencing a recurrent deformity following initially successful surgery," said Dr. Clayton A. Peimer, Adjunct Clinical Professor of Orthopedics at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, and lead author of the study.
"The use of collagenase in these cases provides an alternative to repeat surgery. I look forward to sharing this information with the medical community so that we can further enhance our understanding of treatment options for recurrent Dupuytren contracture and, ultimately, improve patient outcomes."
About the Study
This Phase 4, multicenter, noninterventional, retrospective study analyzed medical records collected from 10 clinical centers in the United States (U.S.). Patients were included who experienced recurrence of Dupuytren contracture ≥ 6 months after a previously successful surgical correction and were then treated with collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) between January 1, 2010 and August 15, 2020. Primary endpoints were the measured joint contracture change from baseline, at first and last clinical evaluation within 12 months of CCH treatment of metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joint contractures. Secondary endpoints were clinical success (percentage of joints with reduction in contracture to 0–5°) and adverse events.
Results from this Phase 4 retrospective study demonstrated that CCH was effective and well tolerated for the treatment of Dupuytren contracture recurrence in patients after surgery. Most adverse events were rated as mild in severity and there were no reported treatment-related serious adverse events.
