Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18–80 with stable post-stroke upper limb spasticity for at least 3 months and MAS ≥2 in elbow/wrist/finger flexors, with DAS ≥2 in a targeted domain, and stable antispastic therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients who recently used botulinum toxin, have certain infections or contraindications, or do not meetMAS/DAS criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies

In this randomized, controlled study, adults with stable post-stroke upper limb spasticity will receive Eveotox injections or placebo to evaluate safety and how well it reduces spasticity and improves function. Eligible participants are 18–80 years old with MAS scores of 2 or higher at elbow, wrist, or finger flexors and a DAS score of at least 2 in one functional domain. The study excludes recent botulinum toxin use, certain infections or medical conditions, and active substance abuse. Primary sites include three hospitals in China, under lead sponsor JHM BioPharma (Tonghua).

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, Eveotox could reduce muscle spasticity and improve daily functioning for adults with post-stroke ULS.

How similar studies have gone: This study builds on prior botulinum toxin approaches for spasticity, but uses a recombinant form and focuses on Eveotox; outcomes from similar toxin therapies have shown variable benefit.
