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.

BOTOX®
Participants received maximum of 5 treatments of intramuscular injections of BOTOX® (botulinum toxin Type A) into a single lower limb muscles or divided between both lower limb muscles or into the lower limb muscles and/or upper limb muscles at a minimum of 12 weeks apart. Treatment dosing was according to investigator judgment not to exceed a maximum of 8 unit per kilogram (U/kg) of body weight (not to exceed 300 U) in treatment Cycle 1. Dose could be increased to a maximum of 10 U/kg (not to exceed 340 U) in treatment Cycles 2-5. Participants received intramuscular injections of BOTOX® (botulinum toxin Type A) 4 or 8 U/kg into the lower limb in the previous study or were de novo participants who were not enrolled in the previous study.
