E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Studying the phenomenon of tolerance by evaluating pharmacokinetic- and dynamic parameters, in patients receiving long-term intrathecal baclofen therapy. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1.To specify the intrathecal pharmacokinetics and –dynamics of baclofen. 2.To predict the optimal dose of baclofen after a single bolus of baclofen combined with CSF sampling in candidates for ITB-therapy 3.To study the influence of different bolus doses of baclofen on the clinical effect and tolerance in the long-term. 4.To determine predictive factors for tolerance, by evaluating the clinical and pharmacokinetic and –dynamic data of patients who develop tolerance.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
-Patients will have to meet the requirements necessary for implantation of an ITB pump. -Patients can be monitored regularly (at least once / 6 weeks) during the year after pump implantation. -Patients details can be taken, including the following details: o Gender, date of birth, o Length, weight, blood pressure o Medication o Underlying disease, year of onset o Oral baclofen dose and duration of oral baclofen treatment -Female patients at fertile age need to guarantee adequate anti-conception.

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
-Patients who have a contra-indication for intrathecal catheter placement: o Anti-clotting medication o Low platelet count o Elevated intracranial pressure o The presence of another electronic device -Patients who don’t reach a satisfactory effect in the test-infusion phase. -Patients experiencing pump failures during the duration of the study -Patients below the age of 18 -Pregnancy or female patients at fertile age who cannot guarantee adequate anti-conception

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
