Background

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. The topical formulation is used for the debridement of necrotic tissue due to burns or chronic ulcers.

On July 6, 2020 a combination of injectable bacterial collagenases was approved by the FDA for the treatment of cellulite in adult women. Also known as Qwo, this injection is the first approved injectable treatment for cellulite and was developed by Endo International.

Indication

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. Collagenase ointment is used for the tissue debridement of chronic dermal ulcers and severely burned tissues.

The combination collagenase product, also known as Qwo, is used for the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women.
