A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety and Efficacy of AA4500 in the Treatment of Subjects With Dupuytren's Contracture

This was a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted in the
United States. Subjects with a diagnosis of Dupuytren's contracture in a metacarpophalangeal
(MP) or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint that resulted in a fixed flexion deformity of at
least one finger, other than the thumb, that was at least 20° as measured by finger
goniometry and was suitable for injection were randomized 2:1 to receive AA4500 0.58 mg or
placebo.

This study was designed to be part of the larger clinical program, for adult patients with
Dupuytren's contracture with a palpable cord, where the data from 2 pivotal
Placebo-Controlled studies (AUX-CC-857 (NCT00528606) and AUX-CC-859 (NCT00533273)) and 7
non-pivotal studies were evaluated.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Subjects with a diagnosis of Dupuytren's contracture, with a fixed flexion deformity
of at least one finger, other than the thumb, that had a contracture at least 20°, but
not greater than 100°, for MP (80° for PIP) joints, caused by a palpable cord that had
never been treated with AA4500.

- Had a positive "table top test," defined as the inability to simultaneously place the
affected finger(s) and palm flat against a table top.

- Judged to be in good health.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Had a chronic muscular, neurological, or neuromuscular disorder that affected the
hands.

- Had received a treatment for Dupuytren's contracture, including surgery (fasciectomy
or surgical fasciotomy), needle aponeurotomy/fasciotomy, or injection of verapamil
and/or interferon on the selected primary joint within 90 days before the first dose
of study drug.

- Had a known recent history of stroke, bleeding, a disease process that affected the
hands, or other medical condition, which in the investigator's opinion, would make the
subject unsuitable for enrollment in the study.
