August 24, 2021 updated by: Pfizer

A PHASE 2, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, WITHIN-SUBJECT CONTROLLED, DOSE-RANGING STUDY TO EVALUATE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF EXC 001 FOR THE TREATMENT OF INCISION SCARS IN THE PANNUS OF SUBJECTS UNDERGOING AN ELECTIVE ABDOMINOPLASTY

This study will compare how well EXC 001 works versus placebo in reducing the appearance of scars in subjects undergoing elective abdominoplasty. The study will also evaluate the safety of EXC 001 in healthy adult subjects.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects must have sufficient excess abdominal tissue to qualify for a standard elective abdominoplasty

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Part B: Expert Panel Scar Assessment Score
Time Frame: Week 13 of Part B
Scar assessment by an expert panel was done on blinded photographs using 100 millimeter (mm) visual analog scale (VAS) where a score of 0 mm = best possible scar and a score of 100 mm = worst possible scar, where higher scores indicate worse condition. The difference was calculated for scars at Week 13 as EXC 001 score minus placebo score, thus a negative difference would indicate that the EXC 001-treated scars had lower scar severity. The score was defined as the within participant average difference between EXC 001- and Placebo-treated scars at Week 13.
Week 13 of Part B

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Part B: Physician Observer Global Assessment Scar Score
Time Frame: Week 13 of Part B
Physician observer global assessment of scar score was done using a valid published 10-point rating scale. Physicians rated severity of each scar on a scale of 1 = normal skin to 10 = worst scar imaginable. Each scar was given a single score and the differences in scores between the matched pairs of scars were calculated. There were 4 differences within each dose level that were averaged to create a single score for each participant at each dose level. The score was defined as the within participant average difference between EXC 001 and Placebo.
Week 13 of Part B
Part B: Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Vital Signs
Time Frame: Part B: Day 1 up to Week 14
Following vital sign parameters were assessed: diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, respiration rate, pulse rate, temperature and weight. Number of participants with clinically significant change in any vital sign parameter compared to Baseline were reported. Criteria for clinically significant change in any vital sign parameter compared to baseline was based on investigator's discretion.
Part B: Day 1 up to Week 14
Part B: Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Physical Examination Findings
Time Frame: Part B: Day 1 up to Week 14
Physical examination included the assessment of skin; head, ears, eyes, nose, and throat; respiratory; cardiovascular; abdomen; musculoskeletal; neurological; gastrointestinal; genitourinary; endocrine and lymph nodes. Criteria for clinically significant findings in physical examination was based on investigator's discretion.
Part B: Day 1 up to Week 14
Part B: Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings
Time Frame: Week 13 of Part B
Following parameters were analyzed for ECG abnormality: PR interval, QRS interval, QT interval, QT interval corrected using the Fridericia's correction (QTc), heart rate (HR). A standard, single 12-lead ECG was taken and results was classified as normal, having a clinically insignificant abnormality, or having a clinically significant abnormality. Number of participants with clinically significant abnormality in ECG compared to baseline were reported. Criteria for clinically significant abnormality in ECG compared to baseline was based on investigator's discretion.
Week 13 of Part B
Part B: Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormal Laboratory Findings
Time Frame: Part B: Day 1 up to Week 13
Laboratory analysis included hematology, biochemistry and urinalysis. Hematology range: basophils (bas) 0-0.2, eosinophils (eos) 0-0.4, leukocytes (leu) 4-10.5, lymphocytes (lym) 0.7-4.5, neutrophils (neu) 1.8-7.8, platelet 140-415, monocytes (mon) 0.1-1 in 10^9 per liter; bas/leu 0-3, eos/leu 0-7, lym/leu 14-46, mon/leu 4-13, neu/leu and neu/leu 40-74 in percentage, erythrocytes 3.8-5.1 10^12/L, hematocrit 0.34-0.44 L/L, hemoglobin 115-150 gram per liter (g/L). Biochemistry range: creatine kinase 24-173, alkaline phosphatase 25-150, alanine aminotransferase (AT) and aspartate AT 0-40 in International units per liter; creatinine 50-88, urate 89-399, bilirubin 2-21 in micromole per liter, glucose 3.6-5.5, potassium 3.5-5.5, sodium 135-148, blood urea nitrogen 1.8-9.3 in millimole/L, albumin 35-55 g/L. Urinalysis parameters: pH (5-7.5), specific gravity (1.005-1.03). Participants with clinically significant abnormal change in any laboratory parameter compared to baseline were reported.
Part B: Day 1 up to Week 13
Part A and B: Number of Participants With Positive Skin Sensitivity Reaction
Time Frame: From Day 21 of Part A up to Week 2 of Part B
The skin sensitivity reaction was assessed only at the skin sensitivity reaction testing sites. Erythematous, raised (indurated) and edematous reactions were considered as positive skin sensitivity reactions. The number of participants that experienced any positive skin sensitivity reactions were reported.
From Day 21 of Part A up to Week 2 of Part B
