"It's been five years since I was treated with XIAFLEX for my Dupuytren's contracture, and people still talk to me about my hand health and ask for advice about the condition," said the legendary NFL quarterback. "I don't partner with many companies and brands, but I believe in this procedure and want to share my personal perspective with more people."
Elway will speak to several media outlets on November 20, 2024 to detail his patient journey and provide an update on his current hand health. He believes he is feeling the beginning of Dupuytren's contracture in another finger, and he plans to request treatment with XIAFLEX again.
"We know that real patient stories are powerful in the Dupuytren's community, and John Elway is making a major impact today by sharing his journey," said Stephanie Wenstrup, executive director at Endo. "We're proud that he is partnering with Endo to educate people about the condition and empower patients to find a hand specialist and ask about XIAFLEX."
Elway partnered with Endo in 2019 on a disease education campaign about Dupuytren's contracture. The company routinely hears from hand surgeons that he successfully built awareness about the condition.
"I had plenty of surgeries throughout my career, and that led me to wait—too long, in retrospect—to finally do something about my Dupuytren's contracture. I'm glad that I was able to receive a nonsurgical medication, XIAFLEX."
About Dupuytren's Contracture
Dupuytren's contracture is a lifelong condition that may get worse over time. It's caused by a buildup of collagen in the hand, which forms a rope-like cord that pulls fingers toward the palm so they can't be straightened. As Dupuytren's contracture progresses, it may become difficult for individuals to use their hand(s) for daily tasks and activities.
WHAT IS XIAFLEX®?
XIAFLEX is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with Dupuytren's contracture when a "cord" can be felt. It is not known if XIAFLEX is safe and effective in children under the age of 18.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR XIAFLEX
Do not receive XIAFLEX if you have had an allergic reaction to collagenase clostridium histolyticum or any of the ingredients in XIAFLEX, or to any other collagenase product. See the end of the Medication Guide for a complete list of ingredients in XIAFLEX.
XIAFLEX can cause serious side effects, including:
- Tendon rupture or ligament damage. Receiving an injection of XIAFLEX may cause damage to a tendon or ligament in your hand and cause it to break or weaken. This could require surgery to fix the damaged tendon or ligament. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have trouble bending your injected finger (towards the wrist) after the swelling goes down or you have problems using your treated hand after your follow-up visit
- Nerve injury or other serious injury of the hand. After finger procedures, some people developed tears in the skin (lacerations), and local skin and soft-tissue necrosis (death of skin cells). Some lacerations and necrosis required skin grafting, or other surgery including amputation. Call your healthcare provider right away if you get numbness, tingling, increased pain, or tears in the skin (laceration) in your treated finger or hand after your injection or after your follow-up visit
- Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. Severe allergic reactions can happen in people who receive XIAFLEX because it contains foreign proteins. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms of an allergic reaction after an injection of XIAFLEX:
- hives
- swollen face
- breathing trouble
- chest pain
- low blood pressure
- dizziness or fainting
- Fainting. Fainting (passing out) or near fainting can happen in people who receive XIAFLEX, especially following finger procedures
If you have dizziness or feel faint after receiving XIAFLEX, lie down until the symptoms go away. - Increased chance of bleeding. Bleeding or bruising at the injection site can happen in people who receive XIAFLEX. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have a problem with your blood clotting. XIAFLEX may not be right for you.
Before receiving XIAFLEX, tell your healthcare provider if you have had an allergic reaction to a previous XIAFLEX injection, or have a bleeding problem or any other medical conditions. Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Using XIAFLEX with certain other medicines can cause serious side effects. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take medicines to thin your blood (anticoagulants). If you are told to stop taking a blood thinner before your XIAFLEX injection, your healthcare provider should tell you when to restart the blood thinner. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for a list of these medicines if you are unsure.
The most common side effects with XIAFLEX for the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture include:
- swelling of the injection site or the hand
- bruising or bleeding at the injection site
- pain or tenderness of the injection site or the hand
- swelling of the lymph nodes (glands) in the elbow or armpit
- itching
- breaks in the skin
- redness or warmth of the skin
- pain in the armpit
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or does not go away. These are not all of the possible side effects with XIAFLEX. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
