The manuscript describes the design of a pivotal Phase 3 study (RESUME-1), a 14-day double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in 1,000 subjects across 70 clinical sites in the US. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tolperisone administered in subjects with pain due to acute back muscle spasms. Secondary objectives include assessing the tolerability, onset of action, and need for rescue medication when treated with tolperisone.

Key Highlights: Effects of tolperisone on driving performance, self-reported sleepiness, cognitive function, and rates of somnolence were comparable to subjects who received placebo. In addition, subjects on cyclobenzaprine indicated that they are “Ready to Drive”; however, the data as demonstrated by SDLP and lane exceedance, indicated that subjects are, in fact, not fine to drive and pose a driving risk.

Key Highlights: Acute muscle spasms of the back are sudden, sustained involuntary contractions of muscles or muscle groups localized within the spine. During a lifetime, approximately 84% of US adults (175 million) experience musculoskeletal spasms. A review of muscle spasms and clinical features and presentation.

What is new and conclusion: Subjects who received tolperisone (150 mg TID) experienced no impact on various measures of driving, self-reported sleepiness and cognition measures compared to placebo, in contrast to those who received the widely used muscle relaxant cyclobenzaprine (10 mg TID).
