About this trial
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of 9MW3811 in patients with pathological scar.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥18 years
Pathological scar with no spontaneous regression over the prior 6 months
At least one scar with modified Vancouver Scar Scale (mVSS) score ≥9
Willing to use effective contraception for 6 months after last dose (if of childbearing potential)
Disqualifiers
Contracture scar causing deformity
All eligible scars either >10 cm in length and >5 cm in width, or located exclusively on sun-exposed areas (head, face, hands)
Evidence of scar infection or active systemic infection requiring treatment
Use of anti-scar medications (e.g., corticosteroids, immunosuppressants) or anti-scar procedures (surgery, laser, radiation, etc.) within 4 weeks prior to first dose
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change from baseline in modified Vancouver Scar Scale (mVSS) score
There are 6 items in the mVSS scale (modified Vancouver Scar Scale), pigmentation, vascularity, pliability, thickness, pain, and itching. A total of 18 points, with minimum 0 indicating normal skin and maximum 18 indicating the most scarring and worst appearance. Change from baseline will be evaluated.
Assessment of adverse events (AE) / serious adverse events (SAEs)
Adverse Events occurring from ICF to last visit will be assessed and graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 6.0.
Number of participants with abnormal vital signs
Vital signs: include pulse, respiration, body temperature and blood pressure
Number of participants with abnormal Physical examination findings
Physical examination: include height, weight, head and neck, mouth, chest, abdomen, lymph nodes, nerves and mind, limbs and other sites
Secondary outcomes
Change from baseline in Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) score
POSAS includes observer scale (vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, surface area) and patient scale (pain, itching, color, stiffness, thickness, irregularity). Lower scores indicate improvement.
Change from baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score
DLQI measures impact of skin disease on quality of life. Total score ranges 0-30; lower scores indicate better quality of life.
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
To determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) of 9MW3811 following multiple intravenous infusions.
Time to reach Cmax (Tmax)
To determine the PK of 9MW3811 following multiple intravenous infusions.
Other outcomes
Change in pharmacodynamic biomarkers
Change from baseline in blood levels of interleukin-11; Collect skin biopsy samples from the same scar lesion in patients before baseline assessment and on Day 85 to evaluate changes from baseline in: total collagen content and arrangement pattern, extracellular matrix components such as type I and type III collagen. and expression levels of fibroblast activation markers such as α-smooth muscle actin in the lesional tissue.
Change from baseline in superficial vascularity distribution score in scar tissue
Assessed using a 3D skin imaging device. The scar region is selected as the ROI (region of interest), and the device's built-in red area analysis function is used to quantify vascular distribution via feature count points and a derived score. One normal skin area adjacent to the scar serves as a control.
Change from baseline in red pigment (hemoglobin) and black pigment (melanin) index in scar tissue
Measured by a skin colorimeter under resting conditions. Depending on scar size, 1-4 measurement points are taken within the scar, and 2 points on adjacent normal skin. The mean value of each region is reported as the black pigment index (unit: arbitrary scale from the device).
Change from baseline in skin viscoelasticity (R2 value) in scar tissue
Assessed using a skin viscoelasticity meter. R2 = Ua/Uf, where Ua is the elastic-plastic deformation during retraction and Uf is the elastic-plastic deformation during stretching. R2 closer to 1 indicates better skin elasticity. Depending on scar size, 1-4 measurement points are taken within the scar and 1 point on adjacent normal skin. The mean R2 value of the scar region is reported (unit: ratio, dimensionless).
