Trial to Confirm the Effect and Safety of Local Injection of Botulinum Toxin Type B Against Digital Ulcer in Systemic Sclerosis
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
To assess the efficacy and safety of local injection of botulinum toxin type B (BTX-B) against digital ulcers (DUs) and Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc).
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, investigator-initiated clinical trial (phase II), 10 patients with SSc and RP-related DUs were randomly and evenly assigned to a placebo control group or treatment group taking BTX-B injections. The degree of improvement in DU, change in size, number of new DUs, improvement in symptoms of RP, and adverse events were recorded.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients diagnosed with SSc in diagnostic criteria (Appendix 1) by the American-European Rheumatology Association
- Patients who have Raynaud's phenomenon from consultation, inquiries, etc. judged by Clinical responsibility (sharing) doctor
Patients with digital ulcer at acquiring consent The criteria for digital ulcers are as follows.
- It is a peripheral ulcer from the proximal interphalangeal joint and the thumb interphalangeal joint (including the interphalangeal joint).
- The continuity of coating by the epithelium has been lost and there is a depth that is visible to the eye. Incidentally, when exposed, cases covered with eschar or necrotic tissue are also included.
- If the exposure is not clearly recognized (crusted or covered with necrotic tissue), the investigational responsibility (shared) doctor can judge that the epidermis and the dermis are missing.
- It should not be the paronychia、crack、digital pitting scars.
- It should not be attached to the projection of the calcification.
- Size: The maximum diameter (major axis) is 0.5 cm or more.
- Bones, tendons and joints are not exposed.
- It is not accompanied by obvious infection findings.
- At the time of acquiring consent Patients over 18 years old
- Patients for whom consent has been obtained in writing on participation of this trial
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with Raynaud's phenomenon due to diseases other than SSc
- Patients with systemic neuromuscular junction disorder (myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis etc.)
- Patients with advanced respiratory dysfunction
- Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to components of botulinum toxin type B (botulinum toxin type B, human serum albumin, succinate buffer) or other botulinum toxin
- Patients who received botulinum toxin formulation within 4 months before study drug administration or who have continued efficacy of botulinum toxin at the time of administration of investigational drug even when administered more than 4 months ago
- Patients who received endothelin receptor antagonist within 60 days before study drug administration
Patients who received the following medications within 14 days prior to study drug administration
- Argatroban hydrate injection
- Prostaglandin E1 Injection (eg alprostadil injection)

Experimental: Botulinum toxin group

Total 2000 units(1.0mL)
(For both hands total 4000 units; 2.0 mL)
|
BTX-B (E2014, Eisai, NerBloc®) was injected subcutaneously from the palmar side into seven locations around interphalangeal metacarpophalangeal joints, targeting the neurovascular bundles just proximal to the A1 pulley (the radial and ulnar sides of the first finger, the radial side of second finger, the ulnar side of the fifth finger and between the second to fifth fingers).
Three locations between the second and third fingers, the third and fourth fingers, and the fourth and fifth fingers were injected with 400 U (0.2 ml) of BTX-B.
In addition, the radial and ulnar sides of the first finger, the radial side of the second finger, and the ulnar side of the fifth finger were injected with half a dose of BTX-B (200 units; 0.1 ml).
A total of 2000 U (1.0 ml) of BTX-B was injected into one hand.
Injections were performed using a 30-gauge needle.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Percentage of subjects who completely lost index ulcer 8 weeks after administration
Time Frame: 8 weeks after administration
|
The primary end point was the percentage of subjects with complete disappearance of index ulcer 8 weeks after administration.
The index ulcer was defined as the largest DUs in the hand.
The size of DU was measured as both the longest diameter of the ulcer and the diameter perpendicular to the center of the ulcer's diameter.
Complete disappearance is defined as the disappearance of the area of the ulcer that has become epithelialized and covered by the epidermis from the periphery of the ulcer and continued coverage of the ulcer surface area that has been restored.

|
the changes in RP severity were assessed using Raynaud's Condition Score [RCS].
RCS is a daily self-assessment of RP activity using a 0-10 ordinal scale.
RCS incorporates the cumulative daily frequency, duration, severity, and effect of RP attacks.
RCS was averaged over a 7-day period preceding the baseline and each subsequent visit.

|
Pain/numbness severity was assessed using the 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
Pain/numbness severity was assessed using the 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (range 0-100; 0 refers to no pain/numbness, and 100 refers to worst imaginable pain/numbness)
|
at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after administration
