To Assess the Effectiveness of Multiple Dose, Multiple Concentrations of Qwo, for the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Cellulite.

To Assess the Effectiveness of Multiple Dose, Multiple Concentrations of Clostridium Histolyticum-aases, Qwo, for the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Cellulite in Adult Females to the Buttocks and Thighs

This is a single center, off-label, multiple dose, multiple injection areas, Phase 4 study to assess the safety and efficacy of multi-dilution CCH in adult women with mild or moderate edematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy (EFP). 5 subjects will be screened and dosed in the buttock and thigh areas using a multi-dilution injection technique.

Qualified subjects (determined by investigator assessment) will receive a single vial of 0.84 mg of CCH to treatment areas (buttocks and thighs) for a total dose of 1.68 mg in both buttocks and both thighs per treatment session × 3 treatment sessions (Day 1, Day 22, and Day 43). Subjects will have follow-up visits at approximately 90 after Day 1.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Single-arm study; Using CCH-ases on bilateral buttocks and thigh injections. No placebo being used.

Drug: Qwo; Collagenase clostridium histolyticum-aaes is a combination of bacterial collagenases AUX-I and AUX-II, in an approximate 1:1 mass ratio, which are isolated and purified from the fermentation of Clostridium histolyticum bacteria. Collagenase AUX-I is a single polypeptide chain consisting of approximately 1000 amino acids. Collagenase AUX-II is a single polypeptide chain consisting of approximately 1000 amino acids.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Improved score iGAIS	The proportion of subjects with changed (+1 or better) score on the Investigator Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale. (I-GAIS) for buttock and thigh from Day 1(baseline) to Day 90(final visit).	Day 1/Baseline and Day 90

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
BODY-Q- APPRAISAL OF CELLULITE Copyright©2019 Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, USA. All rights reserved.	Mean change from Day 1/Baseline in Body-Q Appraisal of Cellulite to day 90/final visit. On a scale of 1-4, 1 being 'extremely bothered, 2 'moderately bothered, 3 'a little bothered' and 4, not at all bothered. Post treatment, it is anticipated that subjects will see a decrease in cellulite, therefore, scoring higher (3-4s) of little to not at all bothered.	Day1/Baseline to day 90/final visit
Dilution Matrix	To generate calculations to determine a matrix of buttock and thigh injections possible from a single 1.84 mg vial	Dilution matrix to be used at treatment visits - Day 1, Day 22 and Day 43.
