Summary
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.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Documented diagnosis of the basic neurological condition associated with sialorrhea (as above, (i), (ii) or (iii); 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 (where retrospective response to questionnaires is impossible, a statement of equivalent severity will suffice):
- 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.
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.
