Could a single injection replace surgery for hammertoes?
NCT ID NCT07759362
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests an injectable treatment called KN3835 against a placebo in about 554 people with flexible or semi-flexible hammertoes. The goal is to see if KN3835 can reduce the toe's bending and improve foot function and pain. Participants receive either the treatment or a placebo injection, and their progress is measured over about two months.
