What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • E2014 (Botulinum toxin type B)Drug

    A single-dose injection solution containing 20 units (U), 100 U, or 500 U/ 0.2 milliliters (mL) of E2014 was administered to extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) muscle in the left lower limb to Japanese and Caucasian participants. Duration of treatment lasted for 12 weeks: from Day -1 to Week 12. Participants were hospitalized from a day before study treatment to Day 8 for 9 nights and 10 days, and visited at the medical institution on Days 10 and 14, and Weeks 4 and 12.

  • E2014 (Botulinum toxin type B) PlaceboDrug

    A single-dose injection solution of E2014 Placebo was administered to extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) muscle in the left lower limb to Japanese and Caucasian participants. Duration of treatment lasted for 12 weeks: from Day -1 to Week 12. Participants were hospitalized from a day before study treatment to Day 8 for 9 nights and 10 days, and visited at the medical institution on Days 10 and 14, and Weeks 4 and 12.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Rates of Extensor Digitorum Brevis (EDB) Muscle M-Wave Amplitude Reduction From Baseline

    The pharmacodynamic effect of botulinum toxin type B (E2014) was evaluated based on the inhibition of EDB M-wave amplitude induced by stimulation of the deep peroneal nerve in the left ankles of the study participants. EDB M-wave amplitudes (mV) were measured at screening (baseline), and Day 1, Day 2, Day 4, Day 6, Day 8, Day 10, Day 14, Week 4, and Week 12. Rates of EDB M-wave amplitude reduction from baseline were then calculated at each time point. The maximum rates of EDB M-wave amplitude reduction from baseline were presented as a percentage.

    Measured: Baseline and Up to Week 12

  2. Extensor Digitorum Brevis (EDB) Muscle M-Wave Amplitude at Baseline

    The pharmacodynamic effect of botulinum toxin type B (E2014) was evaluated based on the inhibition of EDB M-wave amplitude induced by stimulation of the deep peroneal nerve in the left ankles of the study participants. EDB M-wave amplitudes (mV) were measured at screening (baseline).

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Maximum Rates of Extensor Digitorum Brevis (EDB) Muscle M-Wave Area Reduction From Baseline

    The pharmacodynamic effect of botulinum toxin type B (E2014) was evaluated based on the inhibition of EDB M-wave area induced by stimulation of the deep peroneal nerve in the left ankles of the study participants. EDB M-wave area (mVms) was measured at screening (baseline), and Day 1, Day 2, Day 4, Day 6, Day 8, Day 10, Day 14, Week 4, and Week 12. Rates of EDB M-wave area reduction from baseline were then calculated at each time point. The maximum rates of EDB M-wave area reduction from baseline were presented as a percentage.

    Measured: Baseline and Up to 12 Weeks

  4. Extensor Digitorum Brevis (EDB) Muscle M-Wave Area At Baseline

    The pharmacodynamic effect of botulinum toxin type B (E2014) was evaluated based on the inhibition of EDB M-wave area induced by stimulation of the deep peroneal nerve in the left ankles of the study participants. EDB M-wave area (mVms) was measured at screening (baseline).

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing E2014 (Botulinum toxin type B) in people with Spasmodic Torticollis, run by Eisai Limited at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Apr 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Rates of Extensor Digitorum Brevis (EDB) Muscle M-Wave Amplitude Reduction From Baseline (time frame: Baseline and Up to Week 12). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Apr 2013.
