The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of concurrent administration of two injections of Xiaflex into the same hand of subjects with at least two of Dupuytren’s contractures caused by palpable cords.

Safety assessments include immunogenicity testing, while efficacy assessments include measuring finger goniometry and range of motion of the treated joints on days 1, 8, 30, and 60, following the first cycle of two injections.

The findings from the study are anticipated in the second half of 2012.
