Treatment Of Dupuytren's Contracture With Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum Injection (Xiapex) (POINT X)

TPED was defined as the sum of passive extension deficits (PED) in the MP, PIP and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints. PED was measured using finger goniometry. Passive extension=angle of the joint (MP or PIP or DIP) when the finger was passively extended as far possible toward the normal extension. PED=angle of deficit from normal extension. Baseline value for first injection was the TPED value taken closest and prior to the administration of first injection. Baseline value after first injection was also considered as baseline for follow-up on Day 90, 180 after last injection (follow-up baseline). 'Number of fingers/joints analyzed' signifies total number of fingers/joints that were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Participant global assessment questionnaire assessed severity of the contracture at baseline, post-injection and treatment satisfaction (TS), improvement from baseline in the treated contracture at post-injection only. Participants rated disease severity as normal (no contracture), mild, moderate or severe. Overall satisfaction was rated as very satisfied, satisfied, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. Participants rated their improvement in disease severity relative to baseline on a 11-point scale ranging from 0 percent (%) = no improvement to 100% = total recovery, with 10 % increment between each point. Results are reported for number of participants in each category for disease severity, TS and improvement.

Physician global assessment questionnaire assessed severity of the contracture at baseline, post-injection and TS, improvement from baseline in the treated contracture at post-injection only. Physician's rated disease severity as normal (no contracture), mild, moderate or severe. Overall satisfaction was rated as very satisfied, satisfied, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. Physicians rated participant's improvement in disease severity relative to baseline as very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse or very much worse.

Number of participants who took different types of analgesic medications, including acetylsalicylic acid, other analgesics (any other analgesic besides those mentioned, as approved by the investigator), aporex, codis, dihydrocodeine, fentanyl, galenic/paracetamol/codeine/, hot coldrex, metamizole, morphine, oxycodone, panadeine CO (combination of paracetamol and codeine phosphate), paracetamol, paramol-118, pregabalin, solpadeine, tramadol, ultracet, to manage pain symptoms were reported.

Dupuytren's daily diary questionnaire assessed number of days during a cycle when 1) participant was absent or sick due to treatment, 2) the work hours were reduced, 3) the job duties were modified, 4) participant was unable to participate in hobbies and 5) participant wore a splint (for participants who were fitted for a splint).

Time to recovery of normal activities was defined as median number of days between the initial injection date and the date on which participant recovered to normal activities, assessed after first, second and third injection for joints that received 1 through 3 injections. If a participant did not achieve recovery to normal activities, the participant's time to recovery was defined as the median number of days between the initial injection date and the date of the participant's the last daily diary recording within the cycle.

URAM:9-item questionnaire used to assess daily hand functionality.Participants rated their ability to perform following hand functionalities on 0 to 5 scale(0=without difficulty,5=impossible):1)washing themselves with flannel, keeping hand flat,2)washing face,3)holding bottle in one hand,4)shaking someone's hand,5)stroking/caressing someone,6)clapping,7)spreading out fingers, 8)leaning on hand,9)picking up small objects with thumb and index finger.URAM total score=sum of 9 items.Total score range=0 to 45,where higher score= higher difficulty in daily hand functionality.For each cycle, baseline value=pre-injection value reported at that cycle. For follow-up on Day 90,180 after last injection, baseline value (follow-up baseline)=pre-injection value reported at cycle 1. If response was provided to less than or equal to 4 items,URAM total score was considered missing. If response was provided to >=5 items, then average score of answered questions was imputed response to missing questions.

Dupuytren's HCRU is a questionnaire used to assess healthcare usage in participants. Participants answered whether or not since their last visit they 1) had seen any doctor, 2) used any services (including physical or hand therapy, occupational therapy, home health care therapy), 3) were treated in emergency room, 4) had outpatient/day-case surgery, 5) were hospitalized, 6) had diagnostic/therapeutic procedures or tests performed, 7) were admitted in nursing home, 8) required aids/devices to assist in their daily functioning.

Dupuytren's HCRU is a questionnaire used to assess healthcare usage in participants. Participants answered how many times since their last visit they 1) had seen any doctor, 2) used any services (including physical or hand therapy, occupational therapy, home health care therapy), 3) were treated in emergency room, 4) had outpatient/day-case surgery, 5) were hospitalized, 6) had diagnostic/therapeutic procedures or tests performed.
