Brief summary

The study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of different injection techniques of Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum (CCH) for the treatment of adult women with mild, moderate or severe Edematous Fibrosclerotic Panniculopathy (commonly known as Cellulite).

Interventions

Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Endo) is developing collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) for the treatment of EFP. Because CCH is a proteinase that can hydrolyze the triple-helical region of collagen under physiological conditions, CCH has the potential to be effective in lysing sub-dermal collagen, such as those observed in the dermal septa, which are the underlying cause of the skin dimpling in women with Edematous Fibrosclerotic Panniculopathy (EFP). CCH targets the collagenase structural matrix (for example, dermal septa) at the site of injection and does not require systemic exposure to be effective.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Aesthetic Appearance Improvement Likert Scores by Treatment Region at Day 71Day 71Aesthetic appearance improvement for each treatment area (buttocks or thighs) was assessed by a blinded central assessment, using a 5-point Likert scale with scores ranging from -1 to 3. Aesthetic improvement was scored as worse (-1), stayed the same (0), improved (1), much improved (2) and very much improved (3). The assessor evaluated the image at Day 71 in comparison with baseline and recorded the Likert score. Aesthetic appearance Likert scale scores were analyzed using linear mixed model with treatment arm, study visit, interaction of treatment arm and study visit as fixed effects. This model was fitted using the response for the average of left and right of treatment area (that is, average of left buttock and right buttock or average of left thigh and right thigh).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline of Dimple Volume by Treatment RegionBaseline, Day 22, Day 43, and Day 71For each treated buttock and thigh, 4 dimple parameters including the maximum length (largest straight line distance across the dimple), maximum width (largest straight line distance perpendicular to the maximum length measurement), surface are, and volume (between the base of the dimple and an interpolated surface) of the target dimple were assessed. A negative change from Day 1 indicated an improvement. Volume of Dimple from Day 1 pre-marking was analyzed using linear mixed model with treatment arm, study visit, interaction of treatment arm and study visit as fixed effects. This model was fitted using the measurement for the average of left and right of treatment areas (that is, average of left buttock posterior and right buttock posterior; average of left thigh lateral, left thigh oblique, left thigh posterior, right thigh lateral, right thigh oblique, and right thigh posterior).

Aesthetic Appearance Improvement Likert Scores by Treatment Region at Day 22

Aesthetic appearance improvement for each treatment area (buttocks or thighs) was assessed by a blinded central assessment, using a 5-point Likert scale with scores ranging from -1 to 3. Aesthetic improvement was scored as worse (-1), stayed the same (0), improved (1), much improved (2) and very much improved (3). The assessor evaluated the image at Day 22 in comparison with baseline and recorded the Likert score. Aesthetic appearance Likert scale scores were analyzed using linear mixed model with treatment arm, study visit, interaction of treatment arm and study visit as fixed effects. This model was fitted using the response for the average of left and right of treatment area (that is, average of left buttock and right buttock or average of left thigh and right thigh).

Time frame: Day 22

Population: Evaluable Population includes all participants in the Safety Population who had completed screening procedures and at least 1 baseline assessment of aesthetic appearance improvement Likert scale rating at specified timepoint. Here, Overall Number of Participants Analyzed signifies those participants who were evaluable for the assessment.

Aesthetic improvement was scored as worse (-1), stayed the same (0), improved (1), much improved (2) and very much improved (3). The assessor evaluated the image at Day 71 in comparison with baseline and recorded the Likert score. Aesthetic appearance Likert scale scores were analyzed using linear mixed model with treatment arm, study visit, interaction of treatment arm and study visit as fixed effects. This model was fitted using the response for the average of left and right of treatment area (that is, average of left buttock and right buttock or average of left thigh and right thigh).

Time frame: Day 71

Population: Evaluable Population includes all participants in the Safety Population who had completed screening procedures and at least 1 baseline assessment of aesthetic appearance improvement Likert scale rating at specified timepoint. Here, Overall Number of Participants Analyzed signifies those participants who were evaluable for the assessment.

Change From Baseline in Dimple Depth Depression (Hexsel CSS [B]) by Treatment Region at Day 22

Dimple depth depression for each treatment area was assessed by the Investigator using the Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale (B). Dimple Depth Depression of Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale (B) was assessed and graded as: no depression (0), superficial depressions (1), medium depth depressions (2) and deep depressions (3). A negative change in Hexsel CSS (B) from baseline indicated an improvement in depression depth. Change from Baseline in dimple depth depression of Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale (B) was analyzed using linear mixed model with treatment arm, study visits, interaction of treatment arm and study visit as fixed effect. This model was fitted using the response for the average of left and right of treatment areas (that is, average of left buttock and right buttock; average of left thigh and right thigh)

Change From Baseline of Dimple Volume by Treatment Region

For each treated buttock and thigh, 4 dimple parameters including the maximum length (largest straight line distance across the dimple), maximum width (largest straight line distance perpendicular to the maximum length measurement), surface are, and volume (between the base of the dimple and an interpolated surface) of the target dimple were assessed. A negative change from Day 1 indicated an improvement. Volume of Dimple from Day 1 pre-marking was analyzed using linear mixed model with treatment arm, study visit, interaction of treatment arm and study visit as fixed effects. This model was fitted using the measurement for the average of left and right of treatment areas (that is, average of left buttock posterior and right buttock posterior; average of left thigh lateral, left thigh oblique, left thigh posterior, right thigh lateral, right thigh oblique, and right thigh posterior).
