What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Curve (AUC) for the Change From Baseline in Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) Wrist Score to the End of the DB Phase (Week 12) in the High-dose Groups

    Change from baseline in MAS wrist score using a 6-point scale (0, 1, 1+ [regarded as 1.5], 2, 3, and 4; 0=no increase in muscle tone; 4=affected part[s] rigid in flexion/extension) to each time point in the DB phase was calculated. In the graph plotting time points on the horizontal axis and changes from baseline on the vertical axis, the area surrounded by the MAS wrist score change curve and the horizontal axis was calculated and used as a summary index (AUC) for assessment of the MAS wrist score. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement, and the AUC has a negative sign.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

Secondary outcomes (21)
  1. Area Under the Curve (AUC) for the Change From Baseline in Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) Wrist Score to the End of the DB Phase (Week 12) in the Low-dose Groups

    Change from baseline in MAS wrist score using a 6-point scale (0, 1, 1+ [regarded as 1.5], 2, 3, and 4; 0=no increase in muscle tone; 4=affected part[s] rigid in flexion/extension) to each time point in the DB phase was calculated. In the graph plotting time points on the horizontal axis (HA) and changes from baseline on the vertical axis, the area surrounded by the MAS wrist score change curve and the HA was calculated and used as a summary index (AUC) for assessment of the MAS wrist score. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement, and the area under the AUC has a negative sign.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  2. Mean Change From Baseline in MAS Wrist Score From Baseline to Week 12 of the Double-blind Phase

    The investigator assessed MAS wrist score using a 6-point scale (0, 1, 1+, 2, 3, and 4; 0=No increase in muscle tone to 4=Affected part[s] rigid in flexion or extension) at each time point in the double-blind phase. The "+1" (slight increase in muscle tone, manifested by a catch, followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder [less than half] of ROM [range of motion]) of MAS score is regarded as score 1.5.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing GSK1358820 in people with Post-Stroke Spasticity and Cerebrovascular Accident, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 18 sites 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 7 inclusion and 22 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 30 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 10 Feb 2010). 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?

Area Under the Curve (AUC) for the Change From Baseline in Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) Wrist Score to the End of the DB Phase (Week 12) in the High-dose Groups (time frame: Baseline, Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00460564, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 May 2017.
