Endo (OTCQX: NDOI) gab drei Präsentationen auf der Jahrestagung der American Podiatric Medical Association vom 24. bis 27. Juli 2025 bekannt, die sich auf die Forschung zu plantarer Fibromatose (PFI) und Plantarfasziitis (PFA) konzentrieren. Die Präsentationen umfassen Ergebnisse aus Phase-1- und Phase-2-Studien zur Kollagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) sowie eine retrospektive Patientenanalyse.
Das Unternehmen führt derzeit eine Phase-3-Studie durch, die CCH als potenzielle nicht-chirurgische Behandlung für PFI-Patienten untersucht. Die Forschungspräsentationen umfassen klinische Studiendaten, Patientenerfahrungen und Dosiseskalationsstudien, was Endos Engagement bei der Entwicklung von Therapien für herausfordernde Erkrankungen unterstreicht.
- None.
- CCH is not yet approved for PFI or PFA treatment
The first two presentations cover findings from Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) in patients with PFA and PFI, respectively, while a third presentation features a retrospective analysis of insights from patients with PFI.
"We're pleased to share clinical trial data with healthcare providers as part of our ongoing efforts to help improve patient care and highlight our clinical development strategy," said James P. Tursi, M.D., Executive Vice President, Global Research & Development at Endo. "We are advancing a Phase 3 study aimed at exploring a potential nonsurgical treatment option for patients with PFI, further demonstrating our commitment to developing medicines that address challenging and burdensome conditions."
The three Endo-supported presentations are below:
- Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum (CCH) in Patients With Plantar Fibromatosis (PFI): Post hoc Analysis of a Phase 2, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study

CCH is not approved for use in treating patients with PFI or PFA. Endo is currently enrolling patients in the pivotal Phase 3 program for PFI.
About the Phase 2 PFI Study
A post hoc analysis of Phase 2 data identified a subgroup of PFI patients who appeared to respond well to CCH treatment. After excluding certain patients, those treated with CCH showed improvements in pain, nodule hardness, and overall condition compared to placebo. The subgroup also demonstrated greater treatment benefits than the original study population. A Phase 3 trial is currently underway with this refined population.
About the PFI Retrospective Analysis
The retrospective analysis of 91 patients synthesizes three patient voice studies, revealing that individuals with PFI are experiencing varying degrees of pain—those reporting moderate to severe pain face greater physical, emotional, and daily life burdens. Participants expressed dissatisfaction with current treatments and a strong interest in nonsurgical options like collagenase clostridium histolyticum, highlighting a need for therapies that reduce or halt nodule growth.
About the Phase 1 PFA Study
A Phase 1 proof-of-concept study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of a single CCH dose for PFA. The safety profile aligned with known adverse events (AE) and were mostly rated mild to moderate. Higher CCH doses had more frequent and severe AEs. CCH treatment showed improvements across all effectiveness measures compared to placebo, though significance was not assessed. These results supported further investigation in a Phase 2 trial.
About Plantar Fibromatosis
PFI or Ledderhose disease is a hyperproliferative fibrous tissue disorder resulting in the formation of collagen nodules along the plantar fascia, the thick connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot, which is often painful. There is no cure for PFI. Symptom management options include custom insoles (orthotics), topical treatments, over-the-counter pain and anti-inflammatory medications, radiation therapy and steroid injections, and ultimately, surgery may be required to remove the nodules.
About Plantar Fasciitis
PFA causes foot discomfort due to inflammation and degeneration of the tissue connecting the heel to the toes, resulting in prominent heel pain. It is especially noticeable when starting to walk in the morning or after prolonged sitting or standing. There is no cure for PFA. Symptom management options include conservative options such as orthotics, icing, stretching, bracing, over the counter pain and anti-inflammatory medications with surgery reserved for more chronic presentations to relieve the tension in the plantar fascia.
