DUBLIN, July 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Endo International
plc (OTC: ENDPQ) announced today that new data from a Phase 1 study
of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) in patients with
plantar fibromatosis will be presented during the American
Podiatric Medical Association's (APMA) annual scientific meeting.
The meeting is taking place now through July
16 in Nashville, Tenn.
Results from the Phase 1 clinical study showed improvement in
nodule hardness and in patient and physician satisfaction scores.
The CCH safety profile in the Phase 1 clinical study was consistent
with the known CCH safety profile from other clinical studies. Most
adverse events were rated as mild to moderate and there were no
treatment-related serious adverse events.
"We're pleased to present new data that explores a potential
nonsurgical option in patients with plantar fibromatosis in the
future," said James P. Tursi, M.D.,
Executive Vice President, Global Research & Development at
Endo.
The three new poster presentations are below:

CCH is not approved for use in treating patients with plantar
fibromatosis. Endo has completed Phase 2 and anticipates that the
pivotal Phase 3 program will begin later this year.
About Plantar Fibromatosis
Plantar fibromatosis (PFI)
or Ledderhose disease, sometimes termed "Dupuytren's disease of the
foot," is a hyperproliferative fibrous tissue disorder resulting in
the formation of nodules along the plantar fascia, the thick
connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot, which is
often painful. There is no cure for PFI. Symptom management options
include custom insoles, topical treatments, over-the-counter pain
and anti-inflammatory medications, radiation therapy and steroid
injections, and ultimately, surgery may be required to remove the
nodules.
