Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests a new botulinum toxin injection called Eveotox in 207 adults with upper limb spasticity (stiff muscles) after a stroke. The goal is to see if it reduces muscle tightness and improves daily tasks like dressing or hygiene compared to a placebo. Participants receive one injection and are followed for safety and effectiveness over several weeks.
