IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) for Upper Limb Spasticity (NT-Spin)

December 21, 2010 updated by: Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH

Prospective, Randomized, Observer-blind, Parallel-group, Multi-center Trial to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Two Different Dilutions of incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) in Patients With Upper Limb Spasticity

This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) in the treatment of arm tightness (upper limb spasticity) using two different dilutions of incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) is a botulinum toxin type A preparation free of complexing proteins. Injected into a muscle, incobotulinumtoxinA causes a reversible local weakening of the muscle for several months, and may improve an impaired muscle function by lessening the muscle tightness within few days. IncobotulinumtoxinA is widely used for various severe neurological conditions. There is some evidence that the treatment effect may be influenced by the amount of the solvent in which incobotulinumtoxinA is diluted before injection.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Responder in Disability Assessment Scale (DAS) at Week 4 - Per Protocol Set
Time Frame: At week 4
The primary efficacy endpoint is the number of responder at Week 4; response defined as an improvement (reduction) of at least one point in the DAS for the primary therapeutic target from baseline visit to Week 4. The DAS determines the functional impairment for the domains hygiene, dressing, limb position and pain according to the following scale: 0 = no disability; 1 = mild disability; 2 = moderate disability; 3 = severe disability. At Screening visit, the subject and investigator, selected together one of the four domains as the primary therapeutic target.

Change From Baseline in Passive Range of Motion (PROM) - Wrist Extension
Time Frame: baseline, week 4, week 12, follow up (between week 12 and week 20)
For the PROM all motions of wrist and elbow were measured from a defined neutral starting point position. The degrees of motion were added in the direction the wrist and elbow moved from the neutral starting position. The neutral starting position was the position of an upright standing/sitting person. The angle of the motion from the neutral starting position was measured in degrees using a goniometer. Angles were measured for the wrist with maximal dorsal extension, neutral position and maximal palmar flexion, and for the elbow with maximal extension, neutral position and maximal flexion.
