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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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

Design model

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
Up to Week 12
2

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.

Time frame
Up to Week 12
3

Number of participants with abnormal vital signs

Vital signs: include pulse, respiration, body temperature and blood pressure

Time frame
Up to Week 12
4

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

Time frame
Up to Week 12

Secondary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
Up to Week 12
2

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.

Time frame
Up to Week 12
3

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

To determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) of 9MW3811 following multiple intravenous infusions.

Time frame
Up to Day 85
4

Time to reach Cmax (Tmax)

To determine the PK of 9MW3811 following multiple intravenous infusions.

Time frame
Up to Day 85

Other outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
Up to Day 85
2

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.

Time frame
Up to Week 12
3

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).

Time frame
Up to Week 12
4

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).

Time frame
Up to Week 12
