MALVERN, Pa., Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Endo, Inc. ("Endo") (OTCQX: NDOI) announced today that data related to the use of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) for the treatment of plantar fibromatosis will be presented during the American Society of Podiatric Surgeons (ASPS) Surgical Conference, taking place October 18-19, 2024.

Two presentations cover data from the Phase 2 clinical study of CCH in patients with plantar fibromatosis, and the third presentation includes data from a Phase 1 study.

"We're pleased to share data with healthcare providers about our plantar fibromatosis clinical trials to help improve patient care and discuss our clinical development program," said James P. Tursi, M.D., Executive Vice President, Global Research & Development at Endo. "These presentations also demonstrate our growth strategy to develop a musculoskeletal pipeline serving those suffering from this and other burdensome conditions."

CCH is not approved for use in treating patients with plantar fibromatosis. Endo is currently enrolling patients in the pivotal Phase 3 program.

About Phase 1 Clinical Study

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.

About Phase 2 Clinical Study

The results of the Phase 2 plantar fibromatosis study demonstrated a trend in CCH treatment effect over placebo for reducing pain associated with the condition as measured by the Foot Function Index Total Pain subscale score, as well as nominally significant improvements of CCH versus placebo in the investigator assessment of improvement, nodular hardness (durometer), and nodule consistency (firmness by investigator palpation) scales. In addition, the CCH safety profile was consistent with the known CCH safety profile from other clinical studies and indications. Most adverse events were rated as mild to moderate, and there were no reported treatment-related serious adverse events.

About Plantar Fibromatosis

Plantar fibromatosis (PFI) or Ledderhose disease 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.
