Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Abnormalities in Physical ExaminationsDay 1 up to Week 24Physical examination included the assessment of skin, head, ears, eyes, nose, throat, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, abdomen (including liver and kidneys), musculoskeletal system, neurological system, gastrointestinal system, genitourinary system, endocrine system and lymph nodes. Abnormality in physical examination were based on investigator's discretion.
Number of Participants With Positive Skin Sensitivity ReactionDay 1 up to Week 24Participants were instructed to inform the investigator in case of any itching, redness, pain or any other symptom that appeared to be a rash at the injection sites. Erythematous, raised (indurated) and edematous reactions were considered as positive skin sensitivity reactions. In this outcome measure number of participants with any positive skin sensitivity reaction were reported.
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Findings in Laboratory ExaminationsDay 1 up to Week 24Following parameters were analyzed for laboratory examination: hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, platelet count, white blood cell count, total neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils, lymphocytes); Hepatobiliary biochemistry: Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Albumin, Alkaline Phosphatase, Total Bilirubin ; Renal Function Tests: Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Creatinine, Creatinine Kinase, Uric Acid ; Electrolytes: Sodium, Potassium; Glucose; Urine analysis: (decimal logarithm of reciprocal of hydrogen ion activity )\[pH\], Specific gravity. Clinically significant laboratory abnormality findings were based on investigator discretion.
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change in Vital SignsDay 1 up to Week 24Following vital sign parameters were assessed: diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, respiration rate, pulse rate, temperature and body weight. Number of participants with clinically significant change in any vital sign parameter compared to baseline were reported. Clinically significant change in vital signs criteria were based on investigator's discretion.
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Findings in Electrocardiogram (ECG) AbnormalitiesDay 1 up to Week 24Following parameters were analyzed: heart rate, PR interval, QT interval, QRS interval and QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF). Clinically significant findings in ECG were based on investigator's discretion.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Week 2 to Week 24An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. AEs included SAEs and all non-SAEs that occurred during the study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Participant Observer Scar Assessment Score: Individual Sub Scores, Composite Score, Scar Appearance Composite ScoreWeek 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). Composite score is the sum of all sub scores except overall opinion, range 6 (best) to 60 (worst). Scar appearance composite score is the sum of all sub scores except overall opinion, pain and itching, range 4 (best) to 40 (worst).
Number of Scars Classified According to Physician Photonumeric Guide Score Severity CategoryWeek 24Physician rated severity of each scar using a photonumeric guide on a scale range from 1 to 5 (where 1 = minimal, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe, 5 = very severe). Number of scars with different ratings of scar severity were reported. Participants may have received treatment for multiple scars (up to 5 scars), results are reported for all scars (individual scar) and most severe scar for all the participants.
Number of Scars Classified According to Subject Participant Photonumeric Guide Score Severity CategoryWeek 24Participants rated severity of each scar using a photonumeric guide on a scale range from 1 to 5 (where 1 = minimal, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe, 5 = very severe). Number of scars with different ratings of scar severity were reported. Participants may have received treatment for multiple scars (up to 5 scars), results are reported for all scars (individual scar) and most severe scar for all the participants.
Physician Observer Scar Assessment Score: Individual Sub Scores and Composite ScoreWeek 24Physician assessment of scar was done using a valid published 10-point rating scale. Assessment included following sub scores: vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, surface area and overall opinion for scar, on a score of 1 = normal skin to 10 = worst scar imaginable. Composite score was the sum of all the sub scores except the overall opinion score and range from 6 (best score) to 60 (worst score).
