Study summary

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.

Read the detailed description

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.

  17. Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) Scores for Upper and Lower Limb, Respectively

    Change in goal attainment T-scores from respective injection cycle baseline visit. GAS measures the extent to which subject's individual goals are achieved in course of intervention. Subject and treating team have to identify 2 personal goals for each treated limb at each injection cycle. Investigator rates the GAS score for each injection cycle. Degree of goal attainment is rated on 5-point scale (-2, -1, 0, +1, +2; study baseline set to -1) and in order to account for interindividual differences in the number of goals, ratings are computed with the Kiresuk formula (Kiresuk \& Sherman, Community Mental Health Journal. 1968;4(6):443-53) resulting in T-scores measuring the degree of goal attainment at each visit. A score of 50 indicates that the individual has reached the expected level of achievement for all goals. The size of change from measurement to measurement indicates incremental change towards or away from goal attainment. Positive values indicate a higher goal attainment.

Clinical pattern treated at corresponding cycle of the same body side as the selected target joint. The AS is a well known and commonly used scale in clinical trials with spasticity. It was considered to be the best clinical tool for measuring resistance to movement. It was used to categorize the severity of spasticity by judging resistance to passive movement. It is a 5-point scale that ranges from 0 (=no increase in tone) to 4 (=limb rigid in flexion or extension).

SecondaryResistance to Passive Movement Scale (REPAS) Scores of Treated Side

The REPAS is a summary 26-item test used to assess resistance to passive movement in all four limbs of the body. It provides a global evaluation of spasticity status, as well as per hemibody and per limb. 16 items describe the condition of both upper limbs, 10 that of both lower limbs. Each item is rated by using the Ashworth Scale. The sum of the values represent the REPAS score which may range from zero (no resistance for any item) to 104 (limbs rigid for all items). Here, the hemi-REPAS was evaluated, i.e. the maximum value for the treated body side was 52.

SecondaryGoal Attainment Scale (GAS) Scores for Upper and Lower Limb, Respectively

Change in goal attainment T-scores from respective injection cycle baseline visit. GAS measures the extent to which subject's individual goals are achieved in course of intervention. Subject and treating team have to identify 2 personal goals for each treated limb at each injection cycle. Investigator rates the GAS score for each injection cycle. Degree of goal attainment is rated on 5-point scale (-2, -1, 0, +1, +2; study baseline set to -1) and in order to account for interindividual differences in the number of goals, ratings are computed with the Kiresuk formula (Kiresuk \& Sherman, Community Mental Health Journal. 1968;4(6):443-53) resulting in T-scores measuring the degree of goal attainment at each visit. A score of 50 indicates that the individual has reached the expected level of achievement for all goals. The size of change from measurement to measurement indicates incremental change towards or away from goal attainment. Positive values indicate a higher goal attainment.

SecondaryEuroQoL 5-Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D) Scores

The EQ-5D is a common quality of life questionnaire to be filled out by the subject. It evaluates the general impact of a subject's health in 5 dimensions, i.e., on the ability to perform daily physical activities as well as on pain perception and mood. Each dimension is scored on 1 out of 3 categories specific to each dimension, generally meaning: 1= no problem; 2 = moderate problems; 3 = severe problems.
