Biological: AA4500
Biological: Placebo
Phase II

Drug Information available for: Collagenase

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: A Phase 2b, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of AA4500 Administered Two Times a Week for Up to Three Treatment Cycles (2 x 3) in Subjects With Peyronie's Disease

Further study details as provided by Auxilium Pharmaceuticals:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Total scores and change from baseline total scores for each of the four scales of the Peyronie's PRO questionnaire [ Time Frame: Week 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Estimated Enrollment: 120
Study Start Date: August 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2009

Arms Assigned Interventions
AA4500: Experimental
Clostridial collagenase for injection
Biological: AA4500
2 single injections of study drug per each treatment series up to three treatment series total in study. Each treatment series is separated by 6 weeks.
Placebo: Placebo Comparator Biological: Placebo
2 single injections of study drug per each treatment series up to three treatment series total in study. Each treatment series is separated by 6 weeks.

Detailed Description:

A Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of AA4500 in the treatment of subjects with Peyronie's disease.

During the screening period, subjects will have a physical examination including body weight and height, vital sign measurements, a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory testing. Medical history, prior and concomitant medications, and demographic data will be recorded.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have functional difficulty related to Peyronie's disease (eg, difficulty with intromission or erectile dysfunction)
  • Be judged to be in good health based upon the results of medical history, physical examination and laboratory profile
  • Voluntarily sign an informed consent agreement approved by the Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC)
  • Be able to complete and understand the various rating instruments

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have had an average of three successive blood pressure readings ≥ 160/100 mmHg during screening or the Day 1 assessments
  • Severe pain during penile palpation
  • Any of the following conditions:

    • Chordee in the presence or absence of hypospadias
    • Thrombosis of the dorsal penile artery
    • Infiltration by a benign or malignant mass resulting in penile curvature
    • Infiltration by an infectious agent, such as lymphogranuloma venereum
    • Ventral curvature from any cause
    • Presence of sexually transmitted disease
    • Known Hepatitis B or C
    • Known immune deficiency disease or be positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
  • Previously undergone surgery for Peyronie's disease
  • Penile curvature of less than 30° or greater than 90°
  • Received alternative medical therapies for Peyronie's disease administered by the intralesional route (including, but not limited to, steroids, verapamil, and the naturally occurring low molecular weight protein, interferon-α2b) within 3 months before the first dose of study drug or plans to use any of these medical therapies at any time during the study
  • Received alternative medical therapies for Peyronie's disease administered by the oral (including, but not limited to, vitamin E (>500IU), potassium aminobenzoate [Potaba], tamoxifen, colchicine, pentoxifylline, over-the-counter erectile dysfunction medications, or steroidal anti inflammatory drugs) or topical routes (including, but not limited to, verapamil applied as a cream) within 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug or plans to use any of these medical therapies at any time during the study
  • Used any mechanical type device for correction of Peyronie's disease within the 2-week period before screening or plans to use any these devices at any time during the study
  • Used a mechanical device to induce a passive erection within the 2-week period before screening or plans to use any of these devices at any time during the study
  • Significant erectile dysfunction that has failed to respond to oral treatment with phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors
  • Recent history of stroke, bleeding, or other medical condition, which in the investigator's opinion would make the subject unsuitable for enrollment in the study
  • Unwilling or unable to cooperate with the requirements of the study including completion of all scheduled study visits
  • Received an investigational drug or treatment within 30 days before the first dose of study drug
  • Allergy to collagenase or any other excipient of AA4500
  • Allergy to any concomitant medication required as per the protocol
  • Received anticoagulant medication (except for ≤ 165 mg aspirin daily or ≤ 800 mg of over-the-counter NSAIDS daily) during the 7 days before each dose of study drug
  • Received doxycycline or a tetracycline derivative during the 7 days before each dose of study drug or plans to use these drugs within 2 days after the injection of study drug
  • Received any collagenase treatments within 30 days of the first dose of study drug
