Read the detailed description

This trial is a multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GSK1358820 for the treatment of patients with focal wrist, finger and in some cases, thumb spasticity post-stroke. Qualified patients will be eligible for enrollment upon completion of double-blind study 112958. Patients will receive a single treatment session with intramuscular injections of GSK1358820 "200U or 240U (if thumb spasticity is present)".The subjects will be observed for 12 weeks post injection.

Each completed subject will attend 4 clinic visits. The maximum study duration is 13 weeks. The study includes a 1 week pretreatment period, during which the screening visit (visit 1 could be the last visit of previous double-blind study 112958 or any time within 3 months after completion of previous study) is to take place. Only one upper limb (meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria) will be evaluated and treated in the study. Subjects will receive a single intramuscular treatment with investigated drug at day 0 (visit 2). There will be two post-injection follow-up visits at week 6 and 12 (visits 3 to 4).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline at Week 6 and Week 12 for Wrist Flexor Muscle Tone as Measured on the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)

    The investigator or assessor extended the participant's wrist as quickly as possible to grade flexor muscle tone. The MAS wrist score was calculated by using the 6-point MAS (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). Change from Baseline at Week 6 or Week 12 was calculated as the value at Week 6 or Week 12 minus the value at Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Week 6, and Week 12

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Number of Participants Classified as Wrist Treatment Responders at Week 6 and Week 12

    Wrist treatment responders are defined as participants with a decrease in wrist flexor muscle tone of at least one point on the MAS from Baseline. The MAS wrist score was calculated by using the 6-point MAS (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).

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Week 6, and Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline at Week 6 and Week 12 for Finger Flexor Muscle Tone as Measured on the MAS

    The investigator or assessor extended the participant's finger as quickly as possible to grade the flexor muscle tone. The MAS finger score was calculated by using the 6-point MAS (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). Change from Baseline at Week 6 or Week 12 was calculated as the value at Week 6 or Week 12 minus the value at Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Week 6, and Week 12

  3. Change From Baseline at Week 6 and Week 12 for Thumb Flexor Muscle Tone as Measured on the MAS

    The investigator or assessor extended the participant's thumb as quickly as possible to grade the flexor muscle tone. The MAS thumb score was calculated by using the 6-point MAS (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). Change from Baseline at Week 6 or Week 12 was calculated as the value at Week 6 or Week 12 minus the value at Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Week 6, and Week 12

  4. Change From Baseline at Week 6 and Week 12 for the Principal Measure as Assessed on the Disability Assessment Scale (DAS)

    The investigator assessed 4 areas of disability, hygiene, pain, dressing, and limb posture, using the 4-point DAS (0=No functional disability to 3=Severe disability). Prior to the first dose, the investigator, in consultation with the participant, selected 1functional disability item (which had to have a score of 2 or greater as measured on the DAS, indicating moderate to severe disability) from the 4 areas of disability and assessed it as a principal measure. Change from Baseline at Week 6 or Week 12 was calculated as the value at Week 6 or Week 12 minus the value at Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0), Week 6, and Week 12

  5. Global Assessment Scale (GAS) Score as Evaluated by the Physician at Week 6 and Week 12

    The physician used the GAS to assess response to treatment at each visit after injection. The assessor was the same throughout the study period. GAS scores were assessed by using the 9-point GAS (-4, -3, -2, -1, -0, +1, +2, +3, +4; -4=very marked worsening, -0=unchanged, +4=very marked improvement) at Week 6 and Week 12.

    Measured: Week 6 and Week 12

  6. GAS Score as Evaluated by the Care Giver or the Participant at Week 6 and Week 12

    The care giver or participant used the GAS to assess response to treatment at each visit after injection. The assessor was the same throughout the study period. GAS scores were assessed by using the 9-point GAS (-4, -3, -2, -1, -0, +1, +2, +3, +4; -4=very marked worsening, 0=unchanged, +4=very marked improvement) at Week 6 and Week 12.

    Measured: Week 6 and Week 12

  7. Mean Change From Baseline in Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count at the Exit Visit

    Blood samples of participants were collected and evaluated for RBC count at Baseline and at the exit visit. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at the exit visit (Week 12 or earlier) minus the value at Baseline.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Botulinum toxin type A in people with Spasticity, Post-Stroke, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 13 sites in China.

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 9 inclusion and 18 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 28 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in China. 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 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 24 Sep 2012). 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?

Change From Baseline at Week 6 and Week 12 for Wrist Flexor Muscle Tone as Measured on the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) (time frame: Baseline (Day 0), Week 6, and Week 12). 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 28 Feb 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
