Eligibility

Recruits 100 No vulnerable population selected (populationOfTrialSubjects.isVulnerablePopulationSelected = false). Participants must be adults aged 18-70, so informed consent is provided by the participant (no assent procedures described)..

Vulnerable Population
No vulnerable population selected (populationOfTrialSubjects.isVulnerablePopulationSelected = false). Participants must be adults aged 18-70, so informed consent is provided by the participant (no assent procedures described).

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Participants must be 18-70 years old who have a multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis.\n- Participants must have a history of spasticity due to MS for at least 6 months prior to Visit 1 (Screening).\n- Participants must have a modified Ashworth Scale (mAS) score ≥2 in each of 2 muscle groups (at least one muscle group in the leg, excluding ankle plantar flexors) at Visit 1.\n- Participants must have an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score 3.0-6.5 (meaning moderate-significant disability) at Visit 1."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Participants must not have had any concomitant disease or disorder that has symptoms of spasticity or that may influence the participant’s level of spasticity.\n- Participants must not have an acute MS exacerbation/relapse requiring treatment or alteration in disease modifying drug dose within 3 months of Visit 1 or Visit 2 (Randomization).\n- Participants must not have a history of any substance abuse disorder. Participants must not be currently taking a medication for spasticity that cannot be discontinued and washed out by Visit 2.\n- Participants must not have used cannabinoid-related products (including cannabis, CBD, or THC) within 30 days prior to Visit 1. Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply."}

Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The way we are measuring the main study goals (the main trial endpoint) is by looking at how much the stiffness in the person's most affected leg changes from the start of the study to the end of Week 6. We will use a tool called the Total Numeric-transformed Modified Ashworth Scale-Most Affected Lower Limb (TNmAS-MALL) to measure this","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Change in stiffness in the participant's most affected leg from baseline to end of Week 6 measured using the Total Numeric-transformed Modified Ashworth Scale - Most Affected Lower Limb (TNmAS-MALL)."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The secondary trial endpoints include the Numeric Rating Scale-Spasticity (NRS-S), which is a question answered every day using an eDiary provided to the participant.\n- Other secondary endpoints include the MS Spasticity Scale (MSSS-88), a set of questions asking about spasticity in the participant’s daily life, the Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW) test, a test to see how long it takes the participant to walk 25 feet, and the Clinical Global Impression of Severity, a question for the investigator to determine how severe the participant’s condition is.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"NRS-S: daily patient-reported numeric rating of spasticity recorded in an eDiary. MSSS-88: patient-reported questionnaire on spasticity impact in daily life. T25FW: timed performance measure of time to walk 25 feet. Clinical Global Impression of Severity: investigator-rated severity assessment."}
