En­do adds to a pile­up of bad news as lead drug flunks PhII study

En­do In­ter­na­tion­al is adding some clin­i­cal woes to­day on top of its tox­ic pile­up of opi­oid lit­i­ga­tions.

The Dublin-based phar­ma put out word Fri­day that its Phase II study of col­la­ge­nase clostrid­i­um his­tolyticum — sold as Xi­aflex — failed the pri­ma­ry end­point in treat­ing ad­he­sive cap­suli­tis, bet­ter known as “frozen shoul­der.”

We don’t have the da­ta, but En­do said that while there was some im­prove­ment in the change from base­line in the adapt­ed Amer­i­can Shoul­der and El­bow Sur­geons Stan­dard­ized Shoul­der Form com­pos­ite score for the af­fect­ed shoul­der at the Day 95 vis­it, it didn’t change sig­nif­i­cant­ly from what the place­bo arm record­ed.
