Toxin Treatment for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Related Sialorrhea — ALS-TOX  

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Evaluation of Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin Type A in the Treatment of Sialorrhea in the Patient Affected by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

Clinical Trial Summary

Evaluation of the decrease of the secretion of saliva in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by a local ultrasound-guided bilateral injection of botulinum toxin type A in parotids and submandibular glands. The investigators want to demonstrate 1 month after the injection, by a multicenter French randomized double blind study, an improvement of at least 25 % of the functional embarrassment due to saliva, estimated with a visual analogue scale, a decrease of the quantity of saliva and a decrease of the embarrassment for the main caregiver.

Clinical Trial Description

The patient will benefit from an ultrasound guided injection of botulinum toxin A (Botox®) or placebo (NaCl 0.9 %) and will be followed up in consultation at 4, 12, 16 (if reinjection) and 24 weeks. He will be contacted by telephone in 2 and in 8 weeks (percentage of decrease of functional embarrassment, percentage of decrease of salivary secretion rate). He can be able to benefit in the open label phase of a botulinum toxin type A injection at the 12-week follow up if he estimates that first injection was not effective or if the efficiency of the first injection began to become blurred. After the 6 months of the study, the patient will benefit again from the usual follow-up as advised by the French consensus conference in November, 2005. ;
