IPX056 in Subjects With Established Spasticity Resulting From Multiple Sclerosis

Completed · Phase 3 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Multiple Sclerosis

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects, both good and bad, of IPX056 on subjects and their spasticity. This study will also determine the relationship between the amount of IPX056 in blood and the effects on spasticity. Lastly, this study will determine how long IPX056 affects spasticity.

You may not qualify if…

• If female, the subject is:

• Currently taking antipsychotics, CNS depressants or CNS depression producing medications (including alcohol, sedating antihistamines, barbiturates, narcotics, and phenothiazines), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI, including furazolidone, procarbazine, selegiline, and tranylcypromine), and tricyclics.
• Unable or unwilling to wash out current anti-spasticity medications, including but not limited to baclofen, benzodiazepines, clonazepam, clonidine, dantrolene, diazepam, gabapentin, and/or tizanidine for Day 1, Visit 1, procedures. However, these medications will be allowed during open label study.
• Unable or unwilling to participate 12-hour PK/PD procedures during Visit 1.
• Treated with Botulinum Toxin Type A or B within the previous 6 months, or Phenol or therapeutic alcohol nerve block within 12 months prior to the Screening Visit.
