简要总结
This is an open-label clinical research study of an oral glycopyrrolate liquid for the treatment of chronic moderate to severe drooling in patients with cerebral palsy or other neurological conditions. Patients participating in the study will receive oral glycopyrrolate liquid (1 mg/5 ml) three times a day (TID) for study duration of 24 weeks. After a washout, screening, and 2-day baseline period, patients will be enrolled in a 4-week dose titration period. Glycopyrrolate liquid doses will be titrated using dose levels in the Dose Titration Schedule. Titration will begin at 0.02 mg/kg per dose TID and sequentially increased in 0.02 mg/kg per dose increments TID every 5-7 days during the first four weeks until optimal individualized response is obtained for each patient or a maximum dose of 0.1 mg/kg TID is reached, not exceeding 3 mg TID or Dose-level 5 in the Dose Titration Schedule, whichever is lesser. Optimal dose for each patient is the dose at which he/she is receiving the maximum benefit from the study drug (greatest improvement in drooling) while experiencing minimum side effects. All patients will receive close attention by study staff throughout the study.

结局指标
主要结局
Proportion of Responders According to the Modified Teacher's Drooling Scale (mTDS)
时间窗: 6 months
The primary efficacy variable was patient's response status using the change from baseline to Week 24 evaluations of the mTDS assessment. Each patient was classified as a responder or non-responder according to the change in their mean mTDS rating from baseline to Week 24. Responders were patients who had at least a 3-point decrease in mTDS rating from baseline
次要结局
- Parent/Caregiver's Assessment of the Extent of Drooling Using Visual Analog Scale (VAS)(Baseline)
- Parent/Caregiver's Assessment of the Extent of Drooling Using VAS(Week 24)
- Parent/Caregiver's Global Assessment of Treatment(Week 24)
- Investigator's Global Assessment of Treatment(Week 24)
