Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Area Under the Curve (AUC) for the Change From Baseline in Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) Wrist Score to the End of the DB Phase (Week 12) in the High-dose Groups	Change from baseline in MAS wrist score using a 6-point scale (0, 1, 1+ [regarded as 1.5], 2, 3, and 4; 0=no increase in muscle tone; 4=affected part[s] rigid in flexion/extension) to each time point in the DB phase was calculated. In the graph plotting time points on the horizontal axis and changes from baseline on the vertical axis, the area surrounded by the MAS wrist score change curve and the horizontal axis was calculated and used as a summary index (AUC) for assessment of the MAS wrist score. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement, and the AUC has a negative sign.	Baseline, Week 12
Secondary	Area Under the Curve (AUC) for the Change From Baseline in Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) Wrist Score to the End of the DB Phase (Week 12) in the Low-dose Groups	Change from baseline in MAS wrist score using a 6-point scale (0, 1, 1+ [regarded as 1.5], 2, 3, and 4; 0=no increase in muscle tone; 4=affected part[s] rigid in flexion/extension) to each time point in the DB phase was calculated. In the graph plotting time points on the horizontal axis (HA) and changes from baseline on the vertical axis, the area surrounded by the MAS wrist score change curve and the HA was calculated and used as a summary index (AUC) for assessment of the MAS wrist score. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement, and the area under the AUC has a negative sign.	Baseline, Week 12
Secondary	Mean Change From Baseline in MAS Wrist Score From Baseline to Week 12 of the Double-blind Phase	The investigator assessed MAS wrist score using a 6-point scale (0, 1, 1+, 2, 3, and 4; 0=No increase in muscle tone to 4=Affected part[s] rigid in flexion or extension) at each time point in the double-blind phase.
