E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of two different dose levels of NT 201 (75 U or 100 U per cycle), compared with placebo, in reducing the salivary flow rate, and the severity and frequency of chronic troublesome sialorrhea that occurs as a result of various neurological conditions in adult subjects. |

|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Documented diagnosis of the basic neurological condition associated with sialorrhea (with onset at least 6 months before screening); Chronic troublesome sialorrhea related to parkinsonism or stroke or traumatic brain injury (for at least 3 months) at screening, defined as the presence of all of the following, at screening and at baseline and for at least the 3 months before screening ; A Drooling Severity and Frequency Scale [DSFS] sum score of at least 6 points and a score of at least 2 points for each item of the DSFS and a score of at least 3 points on the modified Radboud Oral Motor Inventory for Parkinson’s Disease [mROMP], Section ‘III Drooling’, Item A); A score of at most 2 points on the mROMP Section ‘II Swallowing Symptoms’ Item A) and a score of at most 3 points on Item C), at screening and at baseline. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Non-neurological secondary causes of sialorrhea; Unstable concomitant medication influencing sialorrhea (such as anticholinergics for the treatment of parkinsonism; dosages of these medications must have been stable for at least 4 weeks before study entry , i.e. Screening, and must be planned to remain stable during the course of the study; Recent (i.e., four weeks) drug treatment for sialorrhea; History of recurrent aspiration pneumonia; Extremely poor dental/oral condition as assessed by a qualified dentist; Recent (i.e., one year for sialorrhea, 14 weeks for other indications) treatment with – or known hypersensitivity to – Botulinum toxin, or known hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the study preparation; Recent (i.e., four weeks) changes in anti-parkinsonian medication; Previous or planned surgery or irradiation to control sialorrhea. |
