This study has been terminated.
( Low levels of recruitment )

Sponsored by: Ipsen
Information provided by: Ipsen
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00455637
  Purpose

The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of 3 doses of Dysport (5, 10 or 15 Units/Kg/hip) in the management of chronic bilateral hip pain due to cerebral palsy in children/young people.


Condition Intervention Phase
Cerebral Palsy
Drug: Botulinum type A toxin (Dysport®)
Phase II

MedlinePlus related topics:   Botox    Cerebral Palsy    Paralysis   

Drug Information available for:   Clostridium botulinum toxin   

U.S. FDA Resources

Study Type:   Interventional
Study Design:   Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Dose Comparison, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:   A Phase II, Randomised, Double-Blind, Dose-Ranging Study in Children and Young People to Determine the Optimal Dose of Botulinum Toxin Type-A (Dysport®) in Managing the Symptoms of Hip Muscle Spasticity Due to Cerebral Palsy

Further study details as provided by Ipsen:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To compare the effectiveness of 3 doses of Dysport (5, 10 or 15 Units/Kg/hip) in the management of chronic bilateral hip pain due to cerebral palsy in children/young people.
  • The primary endpoint will be the change in score in the Paediatric Pain Profile. [ Time Frame: From baseline to the week 4 assessment ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To compare the effectiveness of 3 doses of Dysport (5, 10 or 15 Units/Kg/hip) in the management of hip pain as assessed by the change in the score of the Paediatric Pain Profile at all other assessment time points. [ Time Frame: Weeks 12, 16 and 20 ]
  • To compare the effect of the different doses of Dysport on sleep pattern and quality as assessed using a sleep diary and sleep questionnaire at all assessment time points. [ Time Frame: Weeks 4, 12, 16 and 20 ]
  • To compare the effect of the different doses of Dysport on oral analgesia intake for hip pain at all assessment time points. [ Time Frame: Weeks 4, 12, 16 and 20 ]

Estimated Enrollment:   40
