Low Dose

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AZX100 Drug Product

Intervention Type DRUG

Subjects were administered AZX100 0.3 mg per linear centimeter (low dose) intradermally at the site of the keloid scar removal. The first dose was given 19-23 days following surgery, and the second dose was given 40-44 days following surgery.

High Dose

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AZX100 Drug Product

Intervention Type DRUG

Subjects were administered AZX100 10 mg per linear centimeter (high dose) intradermally at the site of the keloid scar removal. The first dose was given 19-23 days following surgery, and the second dose was given 40-44 days following surgery.

Placebo

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Subjects were administered placebo (0.9% saline) per linear centimeter intradermally at the site of the keloid scar removal. The first dose was given 19-23 days following surgery, and the second dose was given 40-44 days following surgery.
