Efficacy and Safety Study of MYOBLOC® in the Treatment of Sialorrhea in Adult Subjects (MYSTICOL)

Phase 3, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Treatment Efficacy and Safety Study of MYOBLOC® Followed by Open-Label, Multiple-Treatment With MYOBLOC® in the Treatment of Troublesome Sialorrhea in Adult Subjects

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MYOBLOC in the treatment of Sialorrhea (drooling), which can be a symptom of many disease conditions. MYOBLOC will be injected directly into the salivary glands. MYOBLOC has been shown in previous trials to safely decrease saliva production, thereby demonstrating its potential as a safe and effective treatment for troublesome sialorrhea.

Detailed Description

Primary Objective: To determine the efficacy of MYOBLOC (administered via intraglandular as a single total dose of 2,500 Units or 3,500 Units) versus placebo in the treatment of troublesome sialorrhea in adult subjects via the assessment of unstimulated salivary flow rate and clinical global impression of sialorrhea severity and improvement at Week 4 post-injection (Part A). It is hypothesized that both MYOBLOC doses will achieve greater efficacy than placebo in relieving sialorrhea at 4 weeks post-injection.

To compare the safety and tolerability of MYOBLOC versus placebo over a 13 week post-injection period (Part A).

Secondary Objective: To assess the onset and duration of therapeutic response of MYOBLOC using efficacy assessments performed at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 13 after the first treatment (Part A).

To assess the duration of therapeutic response of MYOBLOC (administered via intraglandular as a single total dose of 3,500 Units) using efficacy assessments performed at intervals after treatments every 13 weeks over a maximum possible duration of 65 weeks (Part B).

To determine the long-term safety and tolerability of MYOBLOC treatments every 13 weeks over a maximum possible duration of 65 weeks (Part B).
