Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study of the Safety and Efficacy of ATX-101 (Sodium Deoxycholate for Injection) Intralipomal Injections for the Treatment of Superficial Lipomas


The purpose of this research is to compare the safety and effectiveness of three different
concentrations (amount of study drug in a liquid preparation) of an investigational drug
(sodium deoxycholate for injection) solution against a placebo (a solution that looks
similar but does not have any active drug in it) in the treatment of superficial lipomas.
Sodium deoxycholate for injection is a chemical similar to the one produced by the body. A
lipoma is a fatty lump typically located on the trunk, shoulder, arms and legs. For the
purposes of this study, only lipomas on the trunk, arms, legs or neck will be treated.
(Lipomas on the face, wrists, hands, lower portion of the spine, genitals, ankles or feet
will not be treated.)


Inclusion Criteria:



- One or more lipomas, based on clinical diagnosis, which are accessible for treatment
and assessment, are quantifiable along at least two perpendicular diameters, and have
the following characteristics:

- History of slow growth followed by dormancy, and stable for at least six months.

- Greatest length by greatest perpendicular width between 1 and 16 square
centimeters

- Discrete, oval tor rounded in shape, not hard or attached to underlying tissue.

- Located on the trunk, arms, legs, or neck.

- Signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Absence of significant medical conditions that could affect safety.

- History of treatment for lipomas.

- Treatment with an investigational agent within 30 days before ATX-101 treatment.
