Study to Document the Effectiveness of Dysport in Patients Suffering From Upper Limb Spasticity (ULS) After Stroke (PSAS REGISTRY)

December 20, 2018 updated by: Ipsen

Observational Prospective Study to Document the Effectiveness of Dysport in Patients Suffering From Upper Limb Spasticity (ULS) After Stroke, Under Conditions of Routine Clinical Practice

The objective of this non-interventional study is to evaluate clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of Dysport within the reimbursement scheme called "drug programme" funded by Polish National Health Fund (NHF) for patients with post stroke ULS. The study is designed to collect data in patients scheduled to receive Dysport treatment in a drug programme, based on routine treatment of subject with ULS.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients suffering from post-stroke arm spasticity and scheduled to receive injection of Dysport in post stroke upper limb spasticity drug programme.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • ≥ 18 years of age.
  • A history of ischemic or haemorrhagic stroke before minimum 3 months prior to the inclusion into drug programme, documented by discharge from the hospital.
  • Post-stroke spasticity of confirmed upper extremity moderate or higher (the result of the modified Ashworth scale - MAS ≥ 2) in at least one muscle group.
  • Classification of the patient into the programme occurs when a patient has a designated date of commencement of medical rehabilitation confirmed by the providing rehabilitation services.
  • Drug administration needs to take place no earlier than three weeks before the start of medical rehabilitation.
  • Written informed consent given by patient before any occurrence of study related procedure.
  • Patient has been already included in a NHF Dysport programme.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Severe dysphagia and respiratory disorders.
  • Pregnancy
  • Myasthenia gravis and myasthenic syndrome - based on neurological examination (additional tests only in justified cases).
  • Generalized symptoms of infection
  • The presence of inflammation within the planned sites of administration.
  • Fixed contractures in the soft tissues and joints.
  • Dementia medium or deep cycle (score on mini mental state examination (MMSE) equal to or less than 18 points).

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Investigator and patient Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I)
Time Frame: Change from baseline (visit 1) to visit 3 (visits occur every 3-4 months, during approximately 9 months of observation)
Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) scale: 7-point scale, ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse), with a score of 4 indicating no change.
Change from baseline (visit 1) to visit 3 (visits occur every 3-4 months, during approximately 9 months of observation)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Global assessment of spasticity by Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)
Time Frame: Visits 1, 2 and 3 (visits occur every 3-4 months, during approximately 9 months of observation)
MAS - spasticity scores at each joint: shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger, thumb
Visits 1, 2 and 3 (visits occur every 3-4 months, during approximately 9 months of observation)
Measurement of upper limb muscle weakness by Medical Research Council (modified MRC) scale for muscle strength
Time Frame: Visits 1, 2 and 3 (visits occur every 3-4 months, during approximately 9 months of observation)
Visits 1, 2 and 3 (visits occur every 3-4 months, during approximately 9 months of observation)
To document cost of treatment with Dysport in these patients
Time Frame: Visits 1, 2 and 3 (visits occur every 3-4 months, during approximately 9 months of observation)
Direct costs associated with the administration of Dysport will include the dose of Dysport, interval between reinjections, cost of healthcare resources: needles, syringes, identification techniques of the muscles.
Visits 1, 2 and 3 (visits occur every 3-4 months, during approximately 9 months of observation)

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
