Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to study the efficacy and safety of AbobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport) for use in Oromandibular Dystonia (OMD).


Clinical Trial Description

Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is an uncommon, disabling form of cranial dystonia, involving involuntary movements of the lower facial, masticatory, and lingual muscles. This can cause jaw movements including opening, closure, protrusion, retraction, or deviation. Common additional facial movements involve grimacing or lip pursing. When there is tongue involvement, it usually presents as tongue protrusion or curling. Such patients are impaired in relation to eating, speaking and swallowing

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a low dose of Dysport® deemed tolerable during phase 1 in subjects with oromandibular dystonia (OMD).

Participants will be injected with Dysport® only, with an unblinded open-label disclosure. The safety and efficacy pf receiving Dysport® will be recorded for all subjects that undergo injection. All subjects will be examined and videotaped at the injection visit, then at 6 and 12 weeks after injection with a standardized protocol. The primary outcome will be blinded examination scores of the videos performed after the study is complete.The evaluators will be three different movement disorders experts, not otherwise involved in the study, who will review the videotaped examinations, presented in a random order, using the Global Dystonia Rating scale (GDS). Evaluators will rate the dystonia at baseline (injection visit) and 6 weeks after injection. ;
