Date:1/26/2012

MALVERN, Pa., Jan. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AUXL), a specialty biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the first cohort of patients has been dosed in its phase Ib trial of XIAFLEX® (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) for the treatment of edematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy (EFP), commonly known as cellulite.  Cellulite has been reported to occur in 85-98% of post-pubertal females and rarely in men.  The condition is prevalent in women of all races.

Cellulite is described as a localized metabolic disorder of tissue under the skin, which can involve the loss of elasticity or shrinking of collagen cords, called septae, that attach the skin to lower layers of muscle. When fat in cellulite prone areas swells and expands, the septae tether the skin, which causes surface dimpling characteristic of cellulite.  XIAFLEX treatment is intended to target and lyse, or break, those collagen tethers with the goal of releasing the skin dimpling and potentially resulting in smoothing of the skin.  

"For many women, cellulite can be a source of considerable embarrassment or self-consciousness," said Dr. James Tursi, Chief Medical Officer at Auxilium. "Current treatments of cellulite with creams, light-based procedures or liposuction provide limited or no effectiveness. The clinical development of XIAFLEX, if successful, could lead to the first FDA-approved, office-based medical treatment option that is supported by scientific results."

The phase Ib study is a single site, open-label dose-escalation study that is targeted to enroll 63 women between 21 and 60 years of age. The objectives of the study are to assess the safety, effectivene
