Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
0.58mg of Clostridial collagenase (AA4500) will be injected directly into the Dupuytren's cord. 30 days after the first injection, if no response is seen or if the previously injected cord responds and the patient has an additional Dupuytren's cord to be treated, a second dose of AA4500 will be injected directly either into the initially injected Dupuytren's cord or into the second Dupuytren's cord as appropriate. A maximum of 5 injections will be given, 30 days apart, but if they only have 1 Dupuytren's cord to treat and respond to the first injection they will not proceed with any further injections and will enter the follow-up phase of the study.
Follow-up phase:
Subjects will be reviewed at 3, 6 and 9 months after the first injection. At these visits the study objectives will be reviewed.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 2572 0
To evaluate the safety of up to 5 injections of AA4500 0.58 mg (maximum 3 injections per joint) in reducing the degree of contracture (flexion deformity) in multiple joints of subjects with Dupuytren’s contracture.

Assessment of safety: adverse events; vital signs; grip strength of treated hand
Timepoint [1] 2572 0
At baseline, immediately before each injection and day 1, day 7 and day 30 after each injection of AA4500. Plus during the follow-up phase at 3 months, 6 months and 9 months after the initial injection of AA4500.
Primary outcome [2] 2573 0
To evaluate the safety of up to 5 injections of AA4500 0.58 mg (maximum 3 injections per joint) in reducing the degree of contracture (flexion deformity) in multiple joints of subjects with Dupuytren’s contracture.

Assessment of safety: clinical laboratory tests
Timepoint [2] 2573 0
At baseline and during the follow-up phase at 3 months, 6 months and 9 months after the initial injection of AA4500.
Primary outcome [3] 2574 0
To evaluate the safety of up to 5 injections of AA4500 0.58 mg (maximum 3 injections per joint) in reducing the degree of contracture (flexion deformity) in multiple joints of subjects with Dupuytren’s contracture.

Assessment of safety: level of antibodies against collagenase formed
Timepoint [3] 2574 0
Immediately before each injection and day 30 after each injection of AA4500. Plus during the follow-up phase at 3 months, 6 months and 9 months after the initial injection of AA4500
Primary outcome [4] 2575 0
To evaluate the efficacy of up to 5 injections of AA4500 0.58 mg (maximum 3 injections per joint) in reducing the degree of contracture (flexion deformity) in multiple joints of subjects with Dupuytren’s contracture.

Assessment of efficacy: The change in the degree of contracture of the joint affected by the treated Dupuytren's cord, measured by digital goniometry.
Timepoint [4] 2575 0
At baseline, immediately before each injection and day 1, day 7 and day 30 after each injection of AA4500. Plus during the follow-up phase at 3 months, 6 months and 9 months after the initial injection of AA4500.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Subjects must have a diagnosis of Dupuytren’s contracture with a fixed-flexion (ie, = 20º but = 80º for PIP joint; = 20º but = 100º for MP joint) deformity of the finger that is caused by a palpable cord 2. Subject must have a positive “table top test” defined as the inability to simultaneously place the affected finger(s) and palm flat against a table top. 3. Subject is judged to be in good health, based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination, and safety laboratory profile. 4. Subject voluntarily signs and dates an informed consent agreement approved by the Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC). 5. Female subjects of child bearing potential must use an acceptable method of birth control or be surgically sterilized or be a post menopausal female (ie, no menses for at least 1 year). A pregnancy test will be performed prior to enrollment in the study. A pregnancy test will be performed prior to enrollment in the study.

Key exclusion criteria
1. Female subjects who are nursing or pregnant, or plan to become pregnant during the treatment phase.2. Subject has received an investigational drug within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug.3. Subject has received treatment for Dupuytren’s contracture within 90 days of enrollment on the joint selected for the initial injection of AA4500. Treatment for Dupuytren’s contracture includes surgery (fasciectomy or surgical fasciotomy), needle aponeurotomy/fasciotomy, or injection of verapamil and/or interferon.4. Subject has a known allergy to collagenase or any other excipient of AA4500.5. Subject has received doxycycline or doxycycline derivative during the 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug.6. Subject has received any collagenase treatments within 30 days.7. Subject is receiving anticoagulant medication or has received anticoagulant medication (except for aspirin = 150 mg daily) within 7 days before the first injection.8. Subject has a known recent history of stroke, bleeding, or other medical condition which in the investigator’s opinion would make the subject unsuitable for enrollment in the study.
