About this study

Official title: A Double Blind, Randomized, Multi-center, Cross-over Study to Demonstrate the Non-inferiority of Dysport® in Comparison With Botox®, Assuming a Bioequivalence Ratio of 2.5:1 Units, in the Cervical Dystonia

  1. to examine the non-inferiority of Dysport in the clinical efficacy and safety in comparison with Botox®, assuming a bioequivalence ratio of 2.5:1 units, in the treatment of Cervical dystonia.
  2. double blind, randomised, multi center, crossover study
Read the detailed description
  1. Prospective, randomized, head-to-head, double-blind, cross-over study.
  2. Total patients: A group 51, B group 51
  3. Study duration: 16 + 4 + 16 weeks. Eligible patients will be randomised at baseline to receive either Dysport® or Botox® and monitored at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 weeks. After 4 weeks of wash out period, then the patients get the other treatment (i.e, Patients who have got Dysport will be then administered with Botox)
  4. Compare the TSUI change score from baseline to 4 weeks after injection.
Being tested
Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA), Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA)
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction of Total Tsui Score at 4 Weeks From Baseline

    Tsui scale is an impairment scale which evaluates the amplitude and duration of sustained posture and intermittent movements of the head, as well as the presence of shoulder elevation and tremor.

    Tsui scale (range: 0-25, higher values represent worse cervical dystonia.) Negative numbers to represent decreases of Tsui scale.

    Measured: 4 weeks after injection from baseline

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Reduction of Total TWSTRS Score at 4 Weeks From Baseline

    TWSTRS (Toronto western spasmodic torticollis rating scale) The TWSTRS is a composite scale which covers different features of cervical dystonia(CD).

    The first part is based on the physical findings (severity subscale), the second part rates disability, and the third part pain.

    (range: 0-80, higher values represent worse cervical dystonia.) Details of the TWSTRS are displayed on the Web site http://www.wemove.org. Negative numbers to represent decreases of TWSTRS.

    Measured: 4 weeks after injection from baseline

  2. CGI-I (Clinical Global Impression of Illness)

    The proportion of patients with 'normal/ not at all ill' or 'borderline mildly ill' on the CGI (Clinical global impression of illness, CGI-I)

    1 = normal / not at all ill'; 2 = 'borderline mildly ill'; 3 = 'mildly ill'; 4 = 'moderlately ill'; 5 = 'markedly ill'; 6 = 'severely ill'; 7 = 'the most extremely ill'.

    Measured: 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after injection

  3. PGI-I (Patient's Global Impression of Improvement)

    The proportion of patients with 'very much improved' or 'much improved' on the PGI (Patient's global impression of impairment, PGI-I)

    1 = very much improved, 2= much improved, 3 = slightly improved, 4 = no change, 5 = slightly aggravated, 6 = much aggravated, and 7 = very much aggravated

    Measured: 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) and Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) in people with Cervical Dystonia, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 7 sites in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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 5 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in South Korea. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 11 Oct 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?

Reduction of Total Tsui Score at 4 Weeks From Baseline (time frame: 4 weeks after injection from baseline). 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 NCT00950664, 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 5 Jul 2017.
