J-PLUS; Japan- Post-stroke spasticity of the Lower limb study on efficacy and Safety of NT 201
- Conditions
- Post-stroke spasticity of the lower-limb
- Registration Number
- JPRN-jRCT2080222977
- Lead Sponsor
- Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH
- Brief Summary
The study confirmed efficacy of NT 201 for lower limb spasticity. NT 201 (400 U) significantly improved the poststroke spasticity of lower limb as measured using AUC of changes in MAS score after a single injection over a period of 12 weeks. The study also confirmed the favorable safety and tolerability profile of NT 201 400 U in spasticity patients. No new or unexpected safety concerns were identified.
