Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 to 80 years
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Meets diagnostic criteria for isolated CD (idiopathic; dystonic symptoms localized to the head, neck, shoulder areas) with at least moderate severity at Baseline (Day 1), defined as a TWSTRS-total score of at least 20, with at least 15 on the TWSTRS-Severity subscale, at least 3 on the TWSTRS-Disability subscale, and at least 1 on the TWSTRS-Pain subscale (minimum TWSTRS subscale criteria applicable only to subjects not previously enrolled in Study Protocol 1720302)
- Subjects who were previously enrolled in Study Protocol 1720302, and completed the study, including:
- Those with no reduction or have an increase from baseline in the average TWSTRS-total score at Weeks 4 and 6 (i.e., no improvement or worsened disease status), and the investigator agreed that there was a need for retreatment based on the subject's symptoms and neurologic exam findings
- Those who benefited from study treatment and completed follow-up study visits up to the time point of when their TWSTRS - total score reached/exceeded their target TWSTRS score
- Those who benefited from study treatment but subsequently experienced significant recurrence of CD symptoms (e.g. pain) during the study before their TWSTRS-total score reached their target TWSTRS score and requested retreatment, which the investigator determined was warranted based on the subject's symptoms and neurologic exam findings
- Those who completed study visits up to Week 36 and their TWSTRS-total score never reached their target TWSTRS score and they never requested another treatment. The investigator determined that these subjects can be followed in the OLS until their TWSTRS-total score is the same or higher than their target TWSTRS score or until they request retreatment, which the investigator determined is clinically indicated

About this study
Official title: A Phase 3, Open-Label, Multi-Center Trial to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Repeat Treatments of DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection in Adults With Isolated Cervical Dystonia (ASPEN-OLS)
Phase 3, open-label, multi-center trial to evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of up to four continuous treatment cycles of daxibotulinumtoxinA (DAXI) for injection.
Read the detailed description
Approximately 350 adult subjects will be recruited from approximately 80 study centers in the United States, Canada, and Europe who were enrolled in the ASPEN-1 Study Protocol 1720302 and de novo subjects (not previously enrolled in ASPEN-1 Study Protocol 1720302) will be treated with up to 4 different doses of daxibotulinumtoxinA for injection.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
daxibotulinumtoxinA for injectionBiological
DaxibotulinumtoxinA for injection is a sterile, white to off-white lyophilized product containing the active ingredient, daxibotulinumtoxinA, and inactive ingredients to be reconstituted with sterile, non-preserved, 0.9% sodium chloride solution saline.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| daxibotulinumtoxinA (DAXI) for injection | Experimental | DAXI for injection Receives: Biological: daxibotulinumtoxinA for injection |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Long Term Safety of patients determined by the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events
Evaluation of adverse events and serious adverse events, from multiple continuous treatments of DAXI for injection, over the course of the study.
Measured: Up to 52 Weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
The proportion of subjects with at least moderate improvement on the Clinician Global Impression of Change (CGIC) at Weeks 4 or 6 for Treatment Cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4
The CGIC is an investigator-reported assessment of the global clinical change in CD since study treatment administration. The CGIC uses a 7-point Likert scale ranging from +3 (very much improved) to -3 (very much worse), and will be assessed by the investigator at the Week 4 and Week 6 visits.
Measured: Weeks 4 and 6 of treatment cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 (12 - 52 weeks duration each)
The average of the change from Baseline in the TWSTRS Total Score at Weeks 4 and 6 for Treatment Cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 [Time Frame: Weeks 4 and 6 of treatment cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 (12 - 52 weeks duration each)]
The difference in TWSTRS-Total score between the Baseline and average of Weeks 4 and 6 for each treatment cycle will be determined for each subject. The TWSTRS is an assessment scale used to measure the impact of CD on subjects. TWSTRS-total score has a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 85, where higher scores represent worse outcomes. It is made up of the summation of 3 subscales: the Torticollis Severity Scale (minimum score of 0, maximum score of 35), the Disability Scale (minimum score of 0, maximum score of 30), and the Pain Scale (minimum score of 0, maximum score of 20).
Measured: Weeks 4 and 6 of treatment cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 (12 - 52 weeks duration each)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing daxibotulinumtoxinA for injection in people with Cervical Dystonia, run by Revance Therapeutics, Inc. at 65 sites in 9 countries.
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 7 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 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 65 sites in United States, Poland, Germany, Czechia, France and 4 more countries. 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Long Term Safety of patients determined by the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (time frame: Up to 52 Weeks). 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 NCT03617367, 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 28 Jan 2022.
