Trial Outcomes & Findings for Dysport® Adult Upper Limb Spasticity (NCT NCT01313299)

NCT ID: NCT01313299

Last Updated: 2022-09-28

Results Overview

MAS scale is used to assess muscle tone using a 6-point scale where: 0=No increase in muscle tone, 1=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion (ROM) when the part is flexed or extended, 1±Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder of the ROM, 2=Marked increase in muscle tone through most of the ROM but affected part easily moved, 3=Considerable increase in muscle tone passive movement difficult or 4=Affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension. The MAS has been derived for analyses as follows: 0=0 ; 1=1; 1+=2; 2=3; 3=4 and 4=5.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From Baseline (Day 1) to Week 4

Population: Intention to treat (ITT) population included all randomized subjects who received at least one injection of study drug and had a MAS score at baseline (pretreatment) and at week 4. Total 5 subjects were excluded from ITT population as they did not have MAS score at baseline or/and at week 4.

MAS scale is used to assess muscle tone using a 6-point scale where: 0=No increase in muscle tone, 1=Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion (ROM) when the part is flexed or extended, 1±Slight increase in muscle tone manifested by a catch followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder of the ROM, 2=Marked increase in muscle tone through most of the ROM but affected part easily moved, 3=Considerable increase in muscle tone passive movement difficult or 4=Affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension. The MAS has been derived for analyses as follows: 0=0 ; 1=1; 1+=2; 2=3; 3=4 and 4=5.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At Week 4

Population: ITT population. Two subjects each from Placebo and Dysport 1000 U had missed PGA assessment at week 4

PGA is a 9-point scale used to assess global overall treatment response by the investigator (-4: markedly worse, -3: much worse, -2: worse, -1: slightly worse, 0: no change, +1: slightly improved, +2: improved, +3: much improved and +4: markedly improved).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From Baseline (Day 1) to Week 4

Population: ITT population. Two subjects each from Placebo and Dysport 1000 U had missed DAS assessment at baseline and week 4.

DAS is a 4-point scale used to determine the extent of functional impairment in 4 functional domains (dressing, hygiene, limb position and pain). DAS scale rating: 0=No disability, 1=Mild disability (noticeable but does not interfere significantly with normal activities), 2=Moderate disability (normal activities require increased effort and/or assistance) and 3=Severe disability (normal activities limited). If subject chose 'Hygiene' as PTT the score collected will be between 0 and 3.
