Keloids Understanding

Keloids: Overview

Keloids are a type of hypertrophic scar that extends beyond the boundaries of the initial skin injury, forming a raised and often irregularly shaped growth. Unlike typical scars, keloids do not regress over time and can continue to expand, sometimes causing physical and cosmetic discomfort. They most commonly occur following skin trauma such as surgical incisions, burns, severe acne, or even minor scratches. Individuals with darker skin tones, such as those of African, Hispanic, and Asian descent, as well as those with a family history of keloids, are more prone to developing these scars. Keloids are characterized by their raised and shiny appearance, often taking on a color that ranges from pink to red to dark brown, depending on the person's skin tone. They are typically firm or rubbery to the touch and can be significantly larger than the original wound. Common symptoms include itchiness, tenderness, and sometimes pain, particularly as the keloid grows. These symptoms can lead to discomfort and functional impairment, especially if the keloid forms over joints or other areas of frequent movement.

 

The exact cause of keloid formation is not fully understood, but it involves an overproduction of collagen during the wound healing process. Factors contributing to keloid formation include genetic predisposition, skin tension, and the severity of the initial injury. The pathophysiology of keloids involves an imbalance between the synthesis and degradation of collagen, leading to excessive scar tissue formation. This imbalance may be influenced by various cellular and molecular mechanisms, including inflammatory responses and fibroblast activity.

 

Diagnosis of keloids is primarily clinical, based on the characteristic appearance and history of the lesion. Physicians may conduct a physical examination and review the patient's medical history to identify any contributing factors. In some cases, a skin biopsy may be performed to rule out other conditions such as hypertrophic scars or skin tumors. However, the distinct appearance of keloids usually makes this step unnecessary.

 

Treatment options for keloids aim to reduce their size, alleviate symptoms, and prevent recurrence. Corticosteroid injections are commonly used to flatten keloids and reduce inflammation. Surgical removal is another option, though it is often combined with other treatments like corticosteroids or radiation therapy to minimize the risk of recurrence. Laser therapy can reduce the size and improve the color of keloids, while cryotherapy involves freezing the keloid to diminish its size. Silicone sheets and gels, applied regularly, can help flatten keloids and reduce redness. In severe cases, pressure therapy or radiation therapy may be employed. Preventive measures include proper wound care, avoiding unnecessary skin trauma, and using silicone gel or sheets early in the wound healing process.

Keloids Emerging Drugs

 

STP705: Sirnaomics

STP705, is a siRNA therapeutic that takes advantage of a dual-targeted inhibitory property and polypeptide nanoparticle (PNP)-enhanced delivery to directly knock down both TGF-β1 and COX-2 gene expression. The product candidate has received multiple IND approvals from both the U.S. FDA and Chinese NMPA, including treatments of cholangiocarcinoma, nonmelanoma skin cancer, and hypertrophic scar. A Phase IIa study of STP705 for treatment of squamous cell skin cancer (isSCC) in adult patients demonstrated positive efficacy and safety results, with 76% of all patients (19/25) achieving complete histologically clearance and the two optimal dosing ranges achieving 90% histological clearance of tumor cell in the lesion. No significant or serious adverse events, including no significant cutaneous skin reactions, were reported in the study, and the company was able to define a clear therapeutic window in advance of later stage studies. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of keloids.
