Safety and Efficacy Study of PF-06473871 to Reduce Hypertrophic Scars From Recurring Post-Revision Surgery

Physician Scar Assessment Using Complete Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS)

Physician scar assessment was performed using 10-point POSAS scale. Physician rated each of the items (vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, surface area and overall opinion) for a scar on a score of 1 (normal skin) to 10 (worst scar imaginable). Within participant treatment difference was assessed between the treatment regimens each participant received. Data for overall opinion scale score at Week 24 was not presented in this outcome measure because the data was reported separately under primary outcome measure 1.

Time frame: Week 8, 11, 18, 24

Patient Global Assessment Using Overall Opinion of Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS)

Patient global assessment was performed using the overall opinion question of the POSAS scale. Participants were asked to rate the severity of their scar compared to normal skin. The overall opinion scale score ranged from 1 (normal skin) to 10 (very different from normal skin). Within participant treatment difference was assessed between the treatment regimens each participant received

Time frame: Week 8, 11, 18, 24

Patient-Reported Scar Evaluation Questionnaire (PR-SEQ) Symptoms and Appearance Domains Score

PR-SEQ questionnaire consisted of 30 different attributes of scars that included following four dimensions: appearance (5 attributes), symptoms (3 attributes), bothersomeness (8 attributes), and impacts on the quality of life (physical and emotional wellbeing \[14 attributes\]). Each question had 5 possible responses: not at all (0), slightly (1), moderately (2), very (3), and extremely (4). Participants completed an abbreviated version which included only the Symptoms and Appearance dimensions to evaluate treatment outcomes. Each of the item scores were transformed into a 0 to 100 scale. Each dimension score was calculated from averaging the transformed scores (0-100 scaled) for specified items. Each domain score ranged from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher severity. Within participant treatment difference was assessed between the treatment regimens each participant received.
