Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With at Least One Treatment- Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)From first dose of study drug up to 12 weeks post last dose (Up to 60 weeks)An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE was an AE that occurred after receiving the first dose of investigational product or an AE present prior to first dose but increased in severity during the Treatment Period.

ArmCount
BOTOX®
Participants received a maximum of 5 treatments of intramuscular injections of BOTOX® (botulinum toxin Type A) into upper limb and/or lower limb muscles at a minimum of 12 weeks apart. Treatment dosing was according to investigator judgment, de novo participants received at least 6 U/kg of body weight or a maximum of 8 U/kg of body weight (not to exceed 300 U). Rollover participants received up to a maximum of 8 U/kg of body weight (not to exceed 300 U) for treatment Cycle 1. Dose could be increased to a maximum of 10 U/kg (not to exceed 340 U) in treatment Cycles 2-5. Rolled over participants received intramuscular injections of BOTOX® (botulinum toxin Type A) 3 or 6 U/kg into upper limb in previous study or were de novo participants who were not enrolled in previous study.
