Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of onabotulinumtoxinA for treating upper and lower limb spasticity among pediatric patients in 2 open-label extension trials.
Methods: Patients aged <18 years received ≤5 doses of onabotulinumtoxinA (maximum: 8 U/kg [300 U], cycle 1; 10 U/kg [340 U], cycles 2-5) over 60 weeks. Week 6 efficacy endpoints included mean change from baseline in Modified Ashworth Scale-Bohannon and Modified Tardieu Scale scores, and mean Clinical Global Impression of Overall Change score. Adverse events and laboratory assessments of bone health were monitored.
Results: A total of 580 patients received onabotulinumtoxinA. Modified Ashworth Scale-Bohannon change from baseline ranged from -1.01 to -1.9. Modified Tardieu Scale change from baseline was 13.6 to 18.1 (ankle), 25.8 to 44.1 (elbow), and -5.0 to -26.3 (wrist). Clinical Global Impression of Overall Change scores were 1.5 to 2.2. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were upper respiratory tract infection (16.9%) and nasopharyngitis (15.7%).
Interpretation: Repeat administration of onabotulinumtoxinA was safe and efficacious for treating upper and lower limb spasticity in children.

The Journal of Child Neurology (JCN) embraces peer-reviewed clinical and investigative studies from a wide-variety of neuroscience disciplines. Focusing on the needs of neurologic patients from birth to age 18 years, JCN covers topics ranging from assessment of new and changing therapies and procedures; diagnosis, evaluation, and management of neurologic, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders; and pathophysiology of central nervous system diseases.
