About this study

CCH-aaes is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women. Since bruising may be bothersome, this study will investigate treatments that may mitigate bruising after treatment of cellulite in the buttocks.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have both buttocks with:
  • Clinician Reported Photonumeric Cellulite Severity Scale (CR-PCSS) score of 3 (moderate) as reported by the Investigator, and
  • Hexsel Cellulite Severity Scale (CSS) Subsection D "Grade of laxity, flaccidity, or sagging skin" score of 0 (absence of laxity, flaccidity, or sagging skin) or 1 (slightly draped appearance).
  • Have a body mass index between ≥18 and ≤30 kilograms (kg)/square meter (m^2).
  • Be willing to apply sunscreen before each exposure to the sun while participating in the study (that is, Baseline through end of study).
  • Be judged to be in good health.
  • Be willing and able to cooperate with the requirements of the study.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has a coagulation disorder including but not limited to a Factor II, V, VII, or X deficiency.

  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) and naproxen (Aleve®) 7 days before the study.
  • Any medications or food that have or have been reported to have anticoagulant effects within 14 days of treatment.
  • Antibiotics, such as penicillin and cephalosporin within 48 hours of treatment.
  • Has used or intends to use any of the local applications/therapies/injections/procedures that restricts study participation.
  • Is pregnant and/or is presently nursing or providing breast milk or plans to become pregnant during the study.
  • Intends to initiate an intensive sport or exercise program during the study.
  • Tanning or use of tanning agents.
  • Intends to engage in strenuous activity within 48 hours after the first injection of CCH-aaes.
  • Has received an investigational drug or treatment within 30 days prior to injection of CCH-aaes.
  • Has a history of hypersensitivity or allergy to collagenase or any other excipient of CCH-aaes.
  • Has a known systemic allergy or local sensitivity to any of the mitigation treatments or including excipients (that is, arnica patches, INhance Post-injection Serum).
  • Has received any collagenase treatments at any time prior to treatment in this study and/or has received EN3835 or CCH-aaes in a previous investigational study for cellulite.
  • For participants allocated to PDL treatment Participants will be excluded from PDL treatment if they have any contraindications to PDL a. exposure to Accutane® (isotretinoin) within 6 months of CCH-aaes treatment.

Treatment and study plan

CCH-aaes

Drug

Participants were administered CCH-aaes by subcutaneous injection to both buttocks.

Other names: QWO™

compression

Other

Participants used a compression garment on both buttocks following subcutaneous CCH-aaes injections.

Cold Packs

Other

Participants used cold packs applied to the right buttock for 5-10 minutes immediately after subcutaneous CCH-aaes injections.

Arnica Gel

Drug

Participants used Arnica Gel Patches (Arnica montana 50% and Ledum palustre) immediately after the CCH-aaes injection to the right buttock.

INhance®

Drug

Participants used INhance Post-injection Serum topically immediately after the CCH-aaes injection to the right buttock.

PDL

Other

Investigators applied one treatment with PDL to the right buttock between days 1-7 after injection.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants by Buttock at Each Level of Bruising on the Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale at Day 4

    Time frame: Day 4 (3 days after CCH-aaes injection)

    Participants were assessed by the investigator using the Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale. The Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale is a 5-point photonumeric scale ranging from 0 to 4, with "0" indicating no bruising or almost none, and "4" indicating very severe bruising. Higher scores indicated worse outcome.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants for Whom The Investigator Reported an Improvement of Bruising on the Mitigation-treated Buttock as Measured on the Investigator-Bruising Improvement Scores (I-BIS)

    Time frame: Days 4 and 7

    The investigator assessed improvement of bruising using the I-BIS, a 3-point Likert scale that compares bruising on the mitigated side to the bruising on the non-mitigated side as either worse (1), the same (2), or improved (3). I-BIS Rating was directly obtained from the investigator's assessment rating comparing the bruising of the mitigation-treated buttock to the untreated (with mitigation treatment) buttock.

  2. Number of Participants With an Improvement of Bruising on the Mitigation Treated Buttock on the Subject-Bruising Improvement Scale (S-BIS)

    Time frame: Days 4 and 7

    The investigator assessed improvement of bruising using the S-BIS, a 3-point Likert scale that compares bruising on the mitigated side to the bruising on the non-mitigated side as either worse (1), the same (2), or improved (3). S-BIS Rating was directly obtained from the participant's assessment rating comparing the bruising of the mitigation-treated buttock to the untreated (with mitigation treatment) buttock. The S-BIS assessment was not completed for participants that did not receive mitigation treatment (Cohort 1) or participants that received bilateral mitigation treatment (Cohort 2), as these participants did not have an untreated buttock as a comparator.

  3. Number of Participants Bothered by the Appearance of Bruising as Assessed by the Patient Bother by Bruising Scale at Day 4

    Time frame: Day 4

    The Patient Bother by Bruising Scale is a 4-point scale, with a score of 1 indicating not bothered at all, and a score of 4, indicating extremely bothered. A lower score indicates a better outcome.

  4. Number of Participants With an Improved (+1 or Better) Score on the Investigator-Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (I-GAIS) at Day 71

    Time frame: Day 71

    Improvement was defined as +1 or better score on the I-GAIS for either buttock on Day 71 compared to Baseline. The I-GAIS is a 7-level scale ranging from +3 (very much improved) to -3 (very much worse). A higher score indicated a better outcome.

  5. Number of Participants by Buttock at Each Level of Bruising on the Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale at Day 7

    Time frame: Day 7

    Participants were assessed by the investigator using the Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale. The Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale is a 5-level scale ranging from 0 to 4, with "0" indicating no bruising or almost none, and "4" indicating very severe bruising. Higher scores indicated worse outcome.

  6. The Number of Participants by Buttock at Each Level of Bruising on the Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale at Day 14

    Time frame: Day 14

    Participants were assessed by the investigator using the Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale. The Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale is a 5-level scale ranging from 0 to 4, with "0" indicating no bruising or almost none, and "4" indicating very severe bruising. Higher scores indicated worse outcome.

  7. The Number of Participants by Buttock at Each Level of Bruising on the Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale at Day 22

    Time frame: Day 22

    Participants were assessed by the investigator using the Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale. The Investigator Assessment of Bruising Severity Scale is a 5-level scale ranging from 0 to 4, with "0" indicating no bruising or almost none, and "4" indicating very severe bruising. Higher scores indicated worse outcome.
