MeasureTime frameDescription
Physician Observer Scar Assessment Score at Week 12 and 24Part B: Week 12 and 24Physician observer assessment of scar was done using a valid published 10-point rating scale. Physician rated vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, surface area and overall opinion for a scar on a score of 1= normal skin to 10= worst scar imaginable, where higher scores indicate worse condition. Composite score was the sum of all the scores except the overall opinion score and range from 6 (best score) to 60 (worst score), where higher scores indicate worse condition.
Participant Observer Scar Assessment Score at Week 12 and 24Part B: Week 12 and 24Participants rated pain, itching, color, stiffness, thickness, irregularity, and overall opinion of scar on 10-point scale. For pain and itching associated with scar: range =1 (no, not at all) to 10 (yes, worst imaginable) and for other parameters associated with scar compared to normal skin: range =1 (no, same as normal skin) to 10 (yes, very different), where higher scores indicate worse condition. Composite score = sum of all scores except overall opinion, range 6 (best) to 60 (worst), where higher scores indicate worse condition. Scar appearance composite score = sum of all scores except overall opinion, pain and itching, range 4 (best) to 40 (worst), where higher scores indicate worse condition.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Participants who elected to revise appearance of bilateral scars from previous breast surgery, were recruited in this study. Study had 2 parts- Part A and B. Participants with negative skin sensitization in Part A (skin testing) were assigned to Part B (scar revision surgery) of the study.

Pre-assignment details

Safety assessment was not planned separately for EXC 001 (PF-0647387) and placebo. All participants acted as their own control receiving both EXC 001 and placebo on the same days during Part B of the study.

Physician Observer Scar Assessment Score at Week 12 and 24

Physician observer assessment of scar was done using a valid published 10-point rating scale. Physician rated vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, surface area and overall opinion for a scar on a score of 1= normal skin to 10= worst scar imaginable, where higher scores indicate worse condition. Composite score was the sum of all the scores except the overall opinion score and range from 6 (best score) to 60 (worst score), where higher scores indicate worse condition.

Time frame: Part B: Week 12 and 24

Population: Completer population included all participants who had missed not more than 1 dose of study drug, had the Week 12 assessment and non-missing data for VAS scar assessment score.
