E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
A prospective randomized open label trial comparing the treatment results following injections of Clostridium Histolyticum with that of needle aponeurotomy for patients that have not been treated on the involved hand. With focus on the functional results and risks for complications and recurrence of the contracture. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Relapse of the symptoms represents a secondary endpoint and is defined by return to least 30 degrees recontracture of the treated MCP joint or more than 20 degrees of the adjacent PIP joint. In addition, we will evaluate hand function and patient satisfaction using quick DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand), brief MHQ (Michigan Hand outcomes Questionnaire), EQ5D, URAM and a VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) pain scale. Strength is measured at follow-up by a Jamar dynamometer |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
We will also conduct a treatment-cost analysis. By recording the cost of each treatment, need of sick leaves, cost of additional doctor’s appointments and repeated surgery due to recurrence or complications, we will be able to evaluate the cost effectiveness and not only the functional results. This provides the necessary economic frame of reference from which to resolve treatment recommendations |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• 30 ° or more contracture of one MCP-joint (3. -5. Finger) • Less than 20 ° contracture of adjacent PIP joint • Single hand involvement • Primary contracture (not operated or treated hand earlier for this condition) • Patients 18 years or older.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Patients with under 30 ° MCP joint contracture or • 20 ° or more contracture of the adjacent PIP • Ongoing treatment with platelet inhibitors • Prior treatment with tetracycline, 2 weeks earlier to treatment • Patients who are pregnant • Patients with known allergic reaction to local anesthetic or Clostridium Histolyticum • Patients that have been treated for Dupuytren´s earlier on involved hand • Involvement with “need to treat” of both hands
|
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Correction of the contracture in degrees constitutes the primary endpoint and will be measured by a manual finger goniometer at follow-up |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
1,4 week and 1,2 and 5 years |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Relapse of the symptoms represents a secondary endpoint and is defined by return to least 30 degrees recontracture of the treated MCP joint or more than 20 degrees of the adjacent PIP joint. In addition, we will evaluate hand function and patient satisfaction using quick DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand), brief MHQ (Michigan Hand outcomes Questionnaire), EQ5D, URAM and a VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) pain scale.
