Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The results of a dose finding study have shown that 500 units Dysport® are the optimal starting dose for the treatment of patients with rotational torticollis. Although Dysport is an established first-line neurological treatment for cervical dystonia since its registration in Germany in 1995, there are only little data available on dose, efficacy and safety in the treatment of heterogeneous forms of cervical dystonia. The aim of this multicentre open study is to demonstrate the equivalent efficacy and safety in the treatment of the two most frequent forms of cervical dystonia (predominantly rotational torticollis and predominantly laterocollis) with the standard initial dose of 500 units Dysport.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This clinical study was designed and implemented and reported in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Harmonized Tripartite Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP), with applicable local regulations(including European Directive 2001/20/EC), and with the ethical principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki. The clinical trial was performed taking into account the German Medicinal Product Act (AMG). The study was submitted to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) and to the responsible regulatory authorities. The patients participating in the study were insured in accordance with the provisions of the German Drug Law (AMG, in particular §40 paragraph 3).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Worldwide numbers reported are per all treated 516 subjects. However, baseline period is per 515 Safety population subjects (includes all patients who received the study medication and for whom any safety data were recorded). Due to non-availability of safety data one subject was excluded from safety population.

    Change from baseline in the total score of the Tsui rating scale (patient in sitting position)
    End point description
    The Tsui rating scale measures severity and duration of head deviation, shoulder elevation and head tremor. This instrument is based on 4 subscores: • Subscore A: amplitude of rotation, deflection (tilt) and ante- / retrocollis (range: 0–9 points) • Subscore B: duration of movement (values 1 or 2) • Subscore C: severity and duration of shoulder elevation (range: 0–3 points) • Subscore D: severity and duration of tremor (range: 0–4 points) The total score was to be calculated as follows: total score = subscores (A x B) + C + D The total score ranges between 0 and 25 points. A high (low) total score represents severe (mild) CD. The ITT population includes all patients of the Safety population with a baseline (visit 1, week 0) and a post-baseline (visit 2, week 4 or visit 3, week 12) assessment of the Tsui rating scale.

    The Craniocervical Dystonia Questionnaire (CDQ-24) is a disease-specific QoL instrument and was to be assessed at visits 1 to 3. It consists of 24 items investigating problems in daily living skills related to CD. This instrument is based on 5 subscales: • Stigma (items 7, 8, 9, 10, 18, 22) • Emotional well-being (items 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) • Pain (items 4, 5, 21) • Activities of daily living (ADL, items 1, 2, 3, 6, 19, 20) • Social / family life (items 16, 17, 23, 24) There are five possible answers to each item representing increasing severity of impairment (scores 0 to 4). In order to obtain scores of the individual subscales, the total score of each subscale (sum of the individual item scores) was transformed linearly to a 0 to 100 scale, where a score of 0 indicates the best The ITT population includes all patients of the Safety population with a baseline (visit 1, week 0) and a post-baseline (visit 2, week 4 or visit 3, week 12) assessment of the Tsui rating scale.
