Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this clinical study is to assess the safety of doses of NT 201 of up to 800 U in subjects suffering from spasticity in both upper and lower limbs of the same side of the body due to cerebral causes over a period of up to 48 weeks with flexible injection intervals of 12 to 16 weeks.;Secondary Objective: As a secondary objective, this study will evaluate the impact of the administration of NT 201 on several efficacy variables.;Primary end point(s): Occurence of treatment emergent adverse events (AEs), AEs of special interest (AESIs), and Serious AEs (SAEs) by injection cycle Occurence of treatment-emergent AEs, AESIs and SAEs related to the administration of study medication by injection cycle Investigator's global assessment of tolerability using a 4-point Likert scale at end of injection cycle visits;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 12-16, week 24-32, week 36-48

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Ashworth Scale (AS) of the target joint selected at study baseline visit AS of every joint affected by clinical patterns of spasticity and treated at least once, of the same body side as the selected target joint Resistance to passive movement scale (REPAS) Functional ambulation classification (FAC) scale Global attainment scale (GAS) for upper and lower limb, respectively Disability Assessment Scale (DAS) in a selected principal therapeutic target domain affecting the upper limb EuroQoL 5-dimensional questionaire (EQ-5D) Global assessment of efficacy;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: from baseline up to week 48 for: AS, REPAS, FAC, DAS,EQ-5D. Up to week 48 for: GAS and Global assessment of efficacy
