| Description | Collagenase clostridium histolyticum is an enzyme produced by the bacterium Clostridium histolyticum. It is beneficial in the breakdown of collagen plaques for the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture and Peyronie's disease.[L14882] The topical formulation is used for the debridement of necrotic tissue due to burns or chronic ulcers.[L14912] On July 6, 2020 a combination of injectable bacterial collagenases was approved by the FDA for the treatment of cellulite in adult women.[L14872] Also known as Qwo, this injection is the first approved injectable treatment for cellulite and was developed by Endo International.[L14892] |
| Indication/Disease | Collagenase clostridium histolyticum is indicated for the treatment of adults with Dupuytren's contracture with a palpable cord. Additionally, it is used to treat men with Peyronie's disease diagnosed with a penile curvature deformity of at least a 30-degree angle at the beginning of therapy in addition to palpable plaques.[L14882] Collagenase ointment is used for the tissue debridement of chronic dermal ulcers and severely burned tissues.[L14952] The combination collagenase product, also known as Qwo, is used for the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women.[L14872] |
| Pharmacodynamics | Collagenase digests collagen, treating conditions such as Peyronie's disease, cellulite, chronic ulcers, burns, and contractures.[L14872,L14882,L14912] |
| Mechanism of Action | Peyronie's disease is a fibrous lesion of the tunica albuginea in the penile tissues.[A215067] Cellulite is a multifactorial condition resulting in the accumulation of fibrotic dermal septae and the expansion of subcutaneous fat.[A215062] Dupuytren's contracture is a fibroproliferative disease that results in the fibrous deposition of collagen in the hands, limiting mobility and functionality of the hands.[A215072] The collagen deposition in the abovementioned conditions is the target of collagenase enzyme therapy.[A215157,A215167] These enzymes are proteinases acting to hydrolyze collagen's triple-helical conformation, resulting in the lysis of collagen deposits and relief from the necrotic tissue and plaques associated with several conditions.[L14882,L14912] On a molecular level, collagenases cleave polypeptide chains that make up the collagen triple helix structure at various loci, leading to solubilization from the collagen fibril.[A215197] |
| Toxicity | No clinical reaction has been attributed to an overdose of collagenase in clinical trials.[L14912] If required, the collagenase enzymes can be inactivated with a povidone-iodine wash.[L14912] |
| Metabolism | No formal systemic metabolism studies have been performed with collagenase histolyticum.[A215277] |
| Absorption | There is currently limited readily available regarding the absorption of collagenase through the skin.[L14912] In a pharmacokinetic study, the serum concentrations of clostridium type I collagenase (AUX-I) and clostridium type II collagenase (AUX-II) were measured. Both were detected under the lower limit of quantitation of 5 ng/mL and 25 ng/mL, respectively, in volunteers administered one dose of the collagenase histolyticum combination product, Qwo, at a dose of up to 3.36 mg in a maximum of 4 body areas.[L14872] |
