Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Muscle Spasticity
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00557973
Lead Sponsor
XenoPort, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of treatment with XP19986 Sustained Release (SR) Tablet compared to placebo in subjects with spasticity due to spinal cord injury

Detailed Description

This is a multiple-dose, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study of the efficacy and safety of XP19986 SR1 in subjects with spasticity due to spinal cord injury. Three cohorts of subjects are randomized to receive XP19986 SR1 10 mg every 12 hrs or 20 mg every 12 hrs or 30 mg every 12 hrs in one treatment segment and placebo every 12 hrs in the alternate treatment segment. Each subject serves as their own control in this cross-over study.

XP19986 SR1 10 mg - PlaceboXP19986 SR1, 10 mg BIDFollowing a 7 day run-in period in which participants take placebo twice a day (BID), participants are randomized to the cohort that will take XP19986 SR1 10 mg BID treatment crossing over to placebo treatment (or the reverse order). Each treatment segment follows the same pattern: 3-9 days of titration, 7 days at target dose, 3-9 days of tapering, followed by a 3-day placebo washout.
XP19986 SR1 20 mg - PlaceboXP19986 SR1, 20 mg BIDFollowing a 7 day run-in period in which participants take placebo twice a day (BID), participants are randomized to the cohort that will take XP19986 SR1 20 mg BID treatment crossing over to placebo treatment (or the reverse order). Each treatment segment follows the same pattern: 3-9 days of titration, 7 days at target dose, 3-9 days of tapering, followed by a 3-day placebo washout.
XP19986 SR1 30 mg - PlaceboXP19986 SR1, 30 mg BIDFollowing a 7 day run-in period in which participants take placebo twice a day (BID), participants are randomized to the cohort that will take XP19986 SR1 30 mg BID treatment crossing over to placebo treatment (or the reverse order). Each treatment segment follows the same pattern: 3-9 days of titration, 7 days at target dose, 3-9 days of tapering, followed by a 3-day placebo washout.
XP19986 SR1 20 mg - PlaceboPlaceboFollowing a 7 day run-in period in which participants take placebo twice a day (BID), participants are randomized to the cohort that will take XP19986 SR1 20 mg BID treatment crossing over to placebo treatment (or the reverse order). Each treatment segment follows the same pattern: 3-9 days of titration, 7 days at target dose, 3-9 days of tapering, followed by a 3-day placebo washout.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum Ashworth scoreDay 17

Ashworth score for each treatment segment before dosing and 2, 4, and 6 hours after the morning dose. Evaluate the difference in the primary endpoint between active and placebo treament segments at 17th day of dosing in each segment

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Average Ashworth scoreDay 17

This was the average of Ashworth scores obtained on Day 17 of dosing across 6 muscle groups for each treatment segment before dosing and 2, 4, and 6 hours after the morning dose

Two Highest Ashworth scoresDay 17

This was the average of Ashworth scores obtained on Day 17 of dosing from the muscle groups that had the 2 highest Ashworth scores at baseline for each treatment segment before dosing and 2, 4, and 6 hours after the morning dose

Average Non-zero Ashworth ScoresDay 17

This was the average of Ashworth scores obtained on Day 17 of dosing from the muscle groups that had a non-zero Ashworth score at baseline for each treatment segment before dosing and 2, 4, and 6 hours after the morning dose
