Inclusion criteria

* At least 20 years old when written informed consent is obtained. * Having a diagnosis of Dupuytren's contracture and flexion contracture due to palpable cord in at least 1 non-thumb finger (20° to 100° in MP joint and 20° to 80° in PIP joint). * Positive tabletop test result (i.e., cannot simultaneously place affected finger and palm on a table). * Voluntary written informed consent is obtained.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

104 patients were enrolled, and 102 received AK160. This study proceeded stepwise from Step1 through Step3. First, 6 patients were enrolled in Step1 at the selected study centers, thereafter, 71 and 25 patients were enrolled in Steps2 and3 respectively at all centers. The primary endpoint was determined in 77 participants enrolled in Steps1 and 2.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
AK160 0.58 mg Step 1
This arm consisting of participants enrolled in step 1 was used to confirm the efficacy and satety of the drug 30 days after the first dose before starting step 2. And also this arm was used to determine the efficacy of the drug with participants enrolled in step 2 and to determine the safety with participants enrolled in steps 2 and 3. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum 0.58mg injected into metacarpophalangeal (MP) and/or proximal interphalangeal(PIP) joints. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum 0.58mg injected into metacarpophalangeal (MP) and/or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints.
6
AK160 0.58 mg Step 2
This arm consisting of participants enrolled in step 2 was used to determine the efficacy of the drug with participants enrolled in step 1 and to determine the safety with participants enrolled in steps 1 and 3. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum 0.58mg injected into metacarpophalangeal (MP) and/or proximal interphalangeal(PIP) joints. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum 0.58mg injected into metacarpophalangeal (MP) and/or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints.
71
AK160 0.58 mg Step3
The participants in step 3 were added until the number of injected joints by joint type became up to 50 or more in steps1 through 3. This arm was mainly used to determine the safety of the drug with participants enrolled in steps 1 and 2. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum 0.58mg injected into metacarpophalangeal (MP) and/or proximal interphalangeal(PIP) joints. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum 0.58mg injected into metacarpophalangeal (MP) and/or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints.

The Percentage of Participants That Were Successfully Treated With a Successful Reduction in Contracture to 5°or Less

The Primary Outcome Measure for participants who were enrolled at Step1 through Step2 and treated with AK160 is the percentage of 77 participants that were successfully treated where successfully treated was defined as reduction in the contracture of the first treated joint to 5° or less. The injection was allowed up to 3 times.

Time frame: 30 days after the last injection

Population: The primary efficacy analysis population was the full analysis set (FAS) comprising subjects treated with study drug in Steps 1 and 2.
