Study of AGN-151607-DP to Assess Adverse Events and Change in Disease Activity in Adult Participants With Upper Limb Essential Tremor
What this study is about
Upper limb essential tremor (UL ET) is a movement disorder characterized by postural and/or kinetic tremor. It can cause difficulty with everyday tasks such as writing, pouring, and eating. This study will assess if AGN-151607-DP is safe and effective by assessing side effects and change in disease activity in adult participants with UL ET.
View original scientific description
Upper limb essential tremor (UL ET) is a movement disorder characterized by postural and/or kinetic tremor. It can cause difficulty with everyday tasks such as writing, pouring, and eating. This study will assess if AGN-151607-DP is safe and effective by assessing adverse events and change in disease activity in adult participants with UL ET. AGN-151607-DP is an investigational drug being developed to treat UL ET. Participants will be randomly placed in treatment groups to receive either AGN151607-DP or matching placebo. Approximately 94 adult participants with upper limb essential tremor will be enrolled in approximately 40 sites in the United States/Canada. Participants will receive intramuscular injections of AGN-151607-DP or matching placebo. Duration of the study is approximately 72 weeks. The effect of the treatment will be checked by completion of questionnaires and side effects will be monitored by medical assessments.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Minimum body weight of 50 kg (110 pounds) at Screening.
- Diagnosis of essential tremor (ET) in accordance with the modified Tremor Research Investigation Group (TRIG) criteria, as follows:
- Bilateral postural tremor with or without kinetic tremor, involving hands and forearms
- Tremor of other body parts may or may not be present in addition to upper limb (UL) tremor
- Bilateral tremor may or may not be asymmetric
- Tremor that is reported by the participant to be persistent, although the amplitude may fluctuate.
Exclusion criteria
- History of any medical condition that may put the participant at increased risk with exposure to purified botulinum toxin type A complex, including diagnosed muscular dystrophy (e.g., Duchenne's muscular dystrophy), myasthenia gravis, Eaton-Lambert syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, mitochondrial disease, or any other significant disease that might interfere with neuromuscular junctional disorders.
- History of an allergic reaction to or significant sensitivity to AGN-151607-DP or its excipients and/or other botulinum toxins.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
