Dupuytren’s Contracture Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Dupuytren’s contracture is a hand condition where the tissue under the skin in the palm thickens and forms lumps and cords, making it hard to straighten the fingers.

Treatment options include surgeries and injections.

We are currently conducting a research study for a new investigational treatment for people with Dupuytren’s Contracture.

To take part in this study, participants must meet the following criteria:

  • Adults aged 18 to 75 years.
  • You need to have Dupuytren’s contracture, where at least one finger (except the thumb) is bent between 20 and 100 degrees because of a thickened cord in your palm.
  • Be in general good health.

Exclusion criteria to participate in this study may include:

  • People who have used Xiaflex or similar treatments before.
  • Those with a history of Dupuytren’s disease returning after treatment, or who have had other treatments like surgery or injections in the past.
  • People who have had injections of certain medications in the affected joint in the last 90 days.

Other exclusion criteria may apply.

This study will be conducted at our Wellers Hill site in Brisbane.

The total duration of the study is up to 52 weeks and participants will be reimbursed for study visits and reasonable study-related travel expenses.
