IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) 2.5 Units [U], 5U and 7.4U

IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin, also known as "NT 201" or "Botulinum toxin type A (150 kiloDalton), free from complexing proteins") (active ingredient: Clostridium Botulinum neurotoxin Type A free from complexing proteins) powder for solution for injection.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

IncobotulinumtoxinA

Intervention Type DRUG

Subject to receive one injection of either 2.5U, 5U or 7.4U of IncobotulinumtoxinA.

For three dose stages: solution prepared by reconstitution of powder with 0.9% Sodium Chloride (NaCl), reconstitution volume 8 ml, 4 ml and 2.7 ml per 50U vial, respectively, resulting in a concentration of 6.25 U/ml, 12.5 U/ml and 18.5 U/ml. Injection volume is 0.4 ml for all three dose stages. Mode of administration: unilateral soft palate injection.

Placebo Comparator

Placebo to incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) powder for solution for injection.
