Clinical efficacy and safety of collagenase injections for Dupuytren's contracture
BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2017 Aug 30;18(1):374

76 patients with Dupuytren's contracture and a palpable nodule were randomized to one of four groups; 0.25mg collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) injection, 0.40mg CCH injection, 0.60mg CCH injection, or placebo injection. Patients were assessed over 8-week follow-up nodule size and hardness, pain, patient satisfaction, and investigator-rated improvement. After 8 weeks, reduction in nodule size was significantly greater in the 0.40mg and 0.60mg CCH groups compared to placebo, and reduction in nodule hardness was significantly greater in the 0.25mg, 0.40mg, and 0.60mg CCH groups compared to placebo. Composite responder rate for patient satisfaction and investigator-rated improvement was significantly greater in the 0.40mg and 0.60mg CCH group compared to the placbeo group, but not the 0.25mg CCH group compared to the placebo group.
