About this study

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the safety and efficacy of clostridial collagenase vs placebo in terms of improving the degree of flexion deformity, range of finger motion, and grip strength in patients with residual stage Dupuytren's disease.

II. Compare the overall clinical success rate, time to return to normal finger contracture to within 0-5 degrees of normal (zero degrees), and frequency of cord rupture in the joint of patients treated with these regimens.

III. Compare the baseline change in degree of finger flexion deformity, range of motion of the treated finger, and strength of hand grip (in pounds) in patients treated with these regimens.

IV. Compare the frequency distribution of the number of patients with reduction in finger contracture to within 0-5 degrees of normal (zero degrees) and the number who require re-treatment with open-label collagenase after treatment with these regimens.

Read the detailed description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, investigator-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms.

Arm I: Patients receive a single collagenase injection into the target finger cord on day 0.

Arm II: Patients receive a single placebo injection as in arm I.

Both arms: After the 1 month evaluation, patients who are unresponsive to treatment may receive monthly injections of collagenase for a maximum of 5 injections.

Beginning at 1 day after completion of treatment, patients use a joint nighttime extension splint for 4 months and perform finger flexion/extension exercises.

Patients are followed at 1, 7, and 14 days, monthly for 3 months, every 3 months for 9 months, and then annually for 4 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing collagenase in people with Dupuytren's Contracture, run by State University of New York.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 25 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

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 25 Mar 2015.
