Experimental: Group 1: CCH Single Injection Technique
Participants were administered 0.07 milligrams (mg) CCH subcutaneously using a single injection technique. Each participant had 2 marked areas (Area 1 and Area 2) of the abdomen selected for injection. Area 1 was administered CCH on Days -43 and -22. Area 2 was administered CCH on Day -14. |
Drug: Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum Single Injection Technique
CCH was injected subcutaneously using a single injection technique. Dose per each administration was 0.07 mg.

- Number of Participants With a Histologic Change in a Tissue Specimen That Was Injected With CCH [ Time Frame: Up to collection of the excised abdominal tissue on Day 0 (day of abdominoplasty) ]Tissue specimens isolated from participants undergoing an abdominoplasty procedure were observed for histopathological structure changes of tissues post treatment with CCH. The number of participants with a histologic change (as determined by the pathologist) in tissue dosed with CCH relative to control tissue (tissue not dosed with CCH) is reported.
- Number of Participants With a Histologic Change in a Tissue Specimen After 2 CCH Dose Injections Relative to a Tissue Specimen After 1 CCH Dose Injection [ Time Frame: Up to collection of the excised abdominal tissue on Day 0 (day of abdominoplasty) ]Tissue specimens isolated from participants undergoing an abdominoplasty procedure were observed for histopathological structure changes of tissues post treatment with CCH. The number of participants with a histologic change (as determined by the pathologist) in a tissue specimen injected with 2 CCH dose injections (Treatment Area 1) relative to 1 CCH dose injection (Treatment Area 2) is reported.
- Number of Participants With Anti-AUX-I and Anti-AUX-II Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) After CCH Treatment [ Time Frame: End of Study (Day 28) ]Serum samples were analyzed for anti-AUX-I clostridial class I collagenase of ADAs and anti-AUX-II Clostridial class II collagenase of ADAs. The number of participants who developed anti-AUX-I and anti-AUX-II ADAs (positive ADA result) are reported.
- Number of Participants With Anti-AUX-I and Anti-AUX-II Neutralizing Antibodies (NAbs) After CCH Treatment [ Time Frame: End of Study (Day 28) ]Serum samples were analyzed for anti-AUX-I and Anti-AUX-II Nabs. The number of participants who developed anti-AUX-I and Anti-AUX-II NAbs (positive NAb results) are reported. Neutralizing antibodies were only tested from ADA positive participants.
