Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether injections with increasing doses (up to 800 units) of Botulinum toxin type A into muscles of the leg and/or arm are safe and effective in treating patients with spasticity on one body side due to cerebral causes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A dose-titration approach will be used over three injection cycles, with a flexible observation period after injections of 12-16 weeks and a total duration of up to 48 weeks. Cycle 1 and 2: upper and/or lower limb to be treated; Cycle 3: upper and lower limb to be treated.

IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) (up to 800 Units)

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

Subjects to receive up to 3 injection cycle, with the dose titrated from 400 units to up to 800 units.

For each injection session: solution prepared by reconstitution of powder with 0.9% Sodium Chloride (NaCl), 400-800 units, volume 2.0 mL per 100 units; Mode of administration: intramuscular injection.
