A Phase 2 interventional study of RZL-012 and Vehicle in Dercum's Disease Lipomas, sponsored by Raziel Therapeutics Ltd.. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-02-07.
Sponsored by Raziel Therapeutics Ltd. · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
Thirty-eight (38) subjects will be included in the study. Subjects will be randomized in a ration of 1:1 to be treated with RZL-012 or placebo. Subjects will be injected with a different doses of RZL-012 according to their lipomas sizes. The total of 38 subjects will be enrolled in 3 clinical sites.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial in DD subjects having lipomas. Subjects will be randomized, in a 1:1 ratio, into two groups injected with either RZL-012 or vehicle.
Once the study ends and codes are opened, 84 days after dosing, placebo-treated subjects will be offered the option of receiving treatment with RZL-012 and followed up for an additional 84 days.
At least 4 lipomas/nodules, preferably 6, and no more than 8, will be injected per subject, two of which will be medium (4-5.9 cm), large (6-7.9 cm) or extra-large (8-10 cm) in diameter. Dosing will be according to lipoma size, where the total injected dose will not exceed 240 mg per patient (48 injections at 5mg/injection).
22 studies on the registry are indexed under Lipoma; 6 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 38 is above the median of 30 across 17 interventional studies indexed under Lipoma.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
