Dupuytren Contracture - Pipeline Review, H1 2017

Summary

Global Markets Direct's latest Pharmaceutical and Healthcare disease pipeline guide Dupuytren Contracture - Pipeline Review, H1 2017, provides an overview of the Dupuytren Contracture (Musculoskeletal Disorders) pipeline landscape.

Dupuytren contracture is a hand deformity that usually develops slowly, over decades. Dupuytren contracture affects the connective tissue under the skin of the palm. It is a localized formation of scar tissue beneath the skin of the palm of the hand. The scarring accumulates in a tissue that normally covers the tendons that pull the fingers to grip. As Dupuytren contracture progresses, more of the fascia becomes thickened and shortened. Dimpling and puckering of the skin over the area eventually occurs. Dupuytren contracture varies in its rate of progression from minor skin puckering for many years to rapid contracture (fixed flexed position) of fingers. Dupuytren contracture can lead to an inability to fully extend the affected finger from the flexed position. This can result in a loss of normal grasping. Dupuytren contracture is seldom associated with much, if any, pain unless the affected fingers are inadvertently forcefully hyperextended. Dupuytren contracture is a fibroproliferative disorder. It involves the tissue beneath the palm of the hand that leads to finger contracture and may result in significant deformity and disability. Factors contributing to the disease include ethnicity, genetic predisposition, sex and age. Risk factors (environmental) include alcohol consumption, smoking, trauma, epilepsy and diabetes. Dupuytren contracture is usually treated by an operation to straighten the fingers followed by therapy if the angle that the fingers are bent at is large enough. Surgical treatment requires extensive postoperative therapy and there are chances that symptoms often re-occur. The molecular pathophysiology of Dupuytren contracture is complex. Extensive exploration of the molecular basis of Dupuytren contracture has led to the development of new treatment modalities such as by Clostridium histolyticum collagenase injection. There still remains a long way in the development of more promising therapies for Dupuytren contracture.
