The purpose of this study was to find the conversion factor, safety, and efficacy of type A to type B toxin for laryngeal muscles.
Thirty-two patients with adductor spasmodic dysphonia with stable doses of A toxin to manage their symptom were given type B toxin starting at a conversion of 1 U of BTX-A to 50 U of BTX-B. The patients were followed for 1 year, and doses adjusted according to response.
The conversion factor was found to be 52.3 U:1 U. The onset of action of type B was more rapid (2.09 days vs 3.2 days [P = 0.028]), with a shorter duration of benefit (10.8 weeks vs 17 weeks [P = 0.002). The safety profile for A and B toxin appeared the same, with 3 patients receiving Myobloc reporting dry mouth.
This study shows that a conversion factor of 52.3:1 Myobloc (BTX-B) to Botox (BTX-A) and that Myobloc is an effective alternative to Botox (BTX-A) for patients with spasmodic dysphonia.
本研究旨在探寻A型毒素转换为B型毒素用于喉肌时的转换因子、安全性及有效性。
对32例服用稳定剂量A型毒素控制症状的内收型痉挛性发声障碍患者给予B型毒素,起始转换比例为1单位肉毒素A转换为50单位肉毒素B。对患者进行为期1年的随访,并根据反应调整剂量。
发现转换因子为52.3单位B型毒素:1单位A型毒素。B型毒素起效更快(2.09天对3.2天[P = 0.028]),获益持续时间更短(10.8周对17周[P = 0.002])。A型和B型毒素的安全性表现相同,3例接受Myobloc治疗的患者报告有口干症状。
本研究表明,肉毒素B(Myobloc)与肉毒素A(Botox)的转换因子为52.3:1,且对于痉挛性发声障碍患者,肉毒素B是肉毒素A的有效替代药物。
