Intervention

Drug:
AZX100 Drug Product
Subjects were administered AZX100 3 mg per linear centimeter (low dose) intradermally at the site of the keloid scar removal. The first dose was given 19-23 days following surgery, and the second dose was given 40-44 days following surgery.
AZX100 Drug Product
Subjects were administered AZX100 10 mg per linear centimeter (high dose) intradermally at the site of the keloid scar removal. The first dose was given 19-23 days following surgery, and the second dose was given 40-44 days following surgery.
Placebo
Subjects were administered placebo (0.9% saline) per linear centimeter intradermally at the site of the keloid scar removal. The first dose was given 19-23 days following surgery, and the second dose was given 40-44 days following surgery.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Differences Among the 3 Dosage Groups in the Patient (PSAS) and Observer (OSAS) Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) Scores Efficacy was based on the difference between mean POSAS scores of placebo, 3 mg AZX100, and 10 mg AZX100 12 months after surgery. This gave four comparisons to placebo: patient or observer and 3 mg and 10 mg AZX100. PSAS included patients' ratings on a scale of 1-10 (1 was normal skin or no complaints and 10 was the worst imaginable scar or the worst difference) for the following: Is the scar painful? Is the scar itching? Is the color of the scar different? Is the scar more stiff? Is the thickness of the scar different? Is the scar irregular? The possible minimum score was 6 and the maximum (worst) score was 60. OSAS included observers' ratings on a scale of 1-10 (1 was normal skin and 10 was the worst scar imaginable) for vascularization, pigmentation, thickness, relief, and pliability. The possible minimum score was 5 and the possible maximum (worst) score was 50. 12 Months No
Secondary Between-group Mean Differences in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Scores by Independent Blinded Raters At 12 months, two independent dermatologists who were blinded to study treatment evaluated the scar images using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of 0-100 millimeters (mm), with 0 being normal skin and 100 being the worst scar imaginable. The scars were presented in longitudinal (chronological) order. Efficacy was based on the difference between VAS scores of placebo and 3 mg AZX100, and placebo and 10 mg AZX100 for each of the two raters separately. Data from the two raters was not combined. 12 months No
Secondary Between-group Mean Differences in Objective Measures Obtained Via 3D Photography (Elevation, Length, Width) This secondary outcome included scar measurements based on 3D photography of the scar surface at Month 12 and included maximum length, maximum width perpendicular to maximum length, and minimum, maximum and mean elevation. All elevation measurements were made relative to the interpolated smooth skin surface. A value closest to zero was preferred because zero was equal to the normal skin surface. The minimum elevation value was calculated as the lowest point of the scar below the interpolated smooth skin surface and was always a negative number. A more negative number was worse because it indicated a deeper measurement below the interpolated smooth skin surface. The maximum elevation value was calculated as the highest point of the scar above the interpolated smooth skin surface. A larger number was worse because it indicated a higher peak above the interpolated smooth skin surface. The mean elevation of the scar relative to the interpolated smooth skin surface was also calculated. 12 months No
Secondary Between-group Mean Differences in Objective Measures Obtained Via 3D Photography (Volume) This secondary outcome included measurements based on 3D photography of the scar surface at Month 12 and included positive volume, negative volume, and total volume. All volume measurements were made relative to the interpolated smooth skin surface. A value closer to zero was preferred, because zero was equal to the normal skin surface. Positive volume was calculated as the volume of the scar above the interpolated smooth skin surface. Negative volume was calculated as the volume of the scar below the smooth interpolated skin surface, and was always a negative number. Total volume was calculated as the sum of positive volume and the absolute value of negative volume. Smaller values were more desirable. 12 months No
