Brief Summary

Study MTR-601-201 is an 8-week, randomized, placebo-controlled study to examine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of MTR-601 in participants with cervical dystonia.

Conditions

Cervical Dystonia

Keywords

Dystonia; Cervical Dystonia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Safety and Tolerability of MTR-601 by the Incidents of Treatment-related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0

  Safety and tolerability of MTR-601 in participants with cervical dystonia by the incidents of treatments emergent adverse events

  Baseline to week 6

• Efficacy of MTR-601 in Participants With Cervical Dystonia

  Efficacy of MTR-601 in participants with cervical dystonia by Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) overall score change. The overall score is a sum of three subscales consisting of Severity, Disability and Pain. The Overall score is a range of 0 to 85, with a higher value representing a worse outcome.

  Baseline to week 4

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Plasma Concentration of MTR-601 in Participants With Cervical Dystonia Overall

  Day 14

• Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) Severity Sub Score

  Baseline and week 4

• Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) Pain Sub Score

  Baseline and week 4

• Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) Disability Sub Score

  Baseline and week 4

• Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) Overall Score
