INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its first injectable baclofen pump, the baclofen pump, for the treatment of cerebral palsy and other spasticity associated with cerebral palsy. Lilly expects to continue to market the product in the next two years, and will be subject to FDA approval in the United States.
"We are delighted to add to our already-strong pipeline and look forward to the approval of the baclofen pump for use in the United States," said James P. Johnson, Ph. D., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lilly. "This approval represents a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to improve neuropharmacology in our patients and we look forward to continuing our research in other countries."
Corticobaclofen is an opioid agonist that has been used in the treatment of spasticity associated with cerebral palsy and other conditions. CORTICOBACOLOFEN is a selective opioid antagonist that works by preventing the effects of opioid receptors in nerve cells. It may also block the effects of morphine.
Corticobaclofen is used to treat patients who experience spasticity associated with cerebral palsy. CORTICOBACOLOFEN is available by prescription only and can be compounded for a patient in a dosage of 25 mg/kg/day for up to six days. The maximum recommended dosing is three times a day for the first two days of treatment.
"We look forward to working closely with the FDA to approve the baclofen pump," said P. J. Johnson. "The approval of this product is a major step forward for Lilly and we look forward to the successful launch of the product in the United States, and hope to continue our research and development efforts."
Dr. Jane Smith, Director of Clinical Development at Eli Lilly, said: "Lilly is proud to have achieved a significant milestone in our ongoing clinical studies to enhance our ability to treat patients suffering from spasticity associated with cerebral palsy and other conditions. As we move forward with our studies and progress on new drugs to further our efforts, we look forward to collaborating with the FDA in the approval of new treatments to further the efforts of Lilly."
The baclofen pump, which will be marketed as the baclofen pump, was approved in March 2023 by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The pump was used in a Phase III clinical trial at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital to treat patients with cerebral palsy who experienced acute onset spasticity, including ataxia, dystonia, and postural tremor. The pump was approved in April 2023 for use in the United States for patients who experience pain, stiffness, or movement-related problems after surgery. Additional studies included a Phase III trial at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine to treat patients with spinal cord injuries.
The baclofen pump was approved in February 2024 by the FDA and is scheduled to be marketed in approximately 30 countries by the same manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, which has a registered trademark of Eli Lilly and Company.
"We look forward to working closely with the FDA to approve this product," said Dr. Jane Smith. "The approval of this product is a major milestone in our ongoing clinical studies to enhance our ability to treat patients suffering from spasticity associated with cerebral palsy and other conditions.

Pain and spasticity are the most common disorders of the CNS. The pain of the CNS is a painful sensation (1). The number of patients with pain is very low (2). The most common symptoms of pain in the CNS of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) are headache, dysarthria, and dysarthria. Patients with SCI have a higher risk of serious side-effects (3) and may be more likely to have a higher risk of injury (4).
The most common symptoms of pain in SCI include dysarthria, headache, dysarthria, and fever (5). In general, the most important signs of pain in the CNS are dysarthria, dysarthria, and tremor. Dizziness, headache, and hyperactivity are the most common complaints in the CNS of SCI. The most common adverse reactions of pain in SCI are headache, dysarthria, and tremor (6).
The objective of the study was to evaluate the incidence and severity of side-effects of SCI in a population of patients with a history of SCI. The study was a multicenter study conducted at the University of Krakóspatie, Krakóspatie, Poland. The subjects were 20 patients who were admitted to the University of Krakóspatie (Krakóspatie Medical Center, Krakóspatie, Poland) from January 2009 to March 2013, and 10 patients who were admitted to the University of Krakóspatie (Krakóspatie Krakóspa, Krakóspatie, Poland) from March 2013 to April 2015.
The inclusion criteria included adults aged between 20 and 65 years with a body mass index (BMI) of 27.9 kg/m2, with a body weight of less than 10 kg and no neurological signs. Patients were treated with the intrathecal infusion of baclofen (10 mg) and placebo (0.2 mg/kg) for 4 to 5 days and followed up for a total of 12 months. The patients were followed up for a minimum of 24 months and then the results of the clinical examinations were evaluated. The authors found that the incidence of side-effects, including dysarthria, dysarthria, and tremor, was 2.5%, 3.1%, and 1.9%, respectively (p<0.05). The side-effects were more common in patients with a history of SCI (3). However, the adverse events were less common in patients with a history of SCI (3).
The main side-effects of baclofen therapy were dysarthria and tremor. These side-effects were more common in patients with a history of SCI (p>0.05). Furthermore, the side-effects were more common in patients with a history of SCI (p<0.05).

The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Krakóspatie, Krakóspatie, Poland. The study was conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice. Informed consent was obtained from each patient before the study.
The study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The study was conducted in the context of the European Commission's guideline for the care of patients with SCI, the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) and the European Society of Clinical Medicine's (ESCM) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5), and the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) and the European Commission's Clinical Practice Guidelines (ICPG) (p<0.05).
The study took place in Krakóspatie, Poland. The study population consisted of patients with a history of SCI.
The paediatric population is growing in popularity and is one of the most common treatment modalities for spasticity in children. The current treatment is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) that may be used in the management of paediatrics. This medication is effective in relieving the symptoms of spasticity in children and can be used to reduce the spasticity and improve the quality of life of the patient.
There are several different formulations of the drug. It is available as oral tablets, injections and topical solutions. There are also various oral preparations. The most common formulation is the injectable formulation (as a sterile solution) of baclofen. There are other oral preparations available in the paediatric population that are also used in the management of spasticity in children.
The most common treatment for spasticity in children is the injection of the medication in the hospital. The most commonly used treatment is intrathecal baclofen, given as a sterile solution. The injection technique is the same as for the intrathecal baclofen injection, but it is less accurate for the patients. This is because the intrathecal baclofen is injected directly into the spongy membrane that surrounds the nerve and thus the medication is injected directly into the spongy membrane.
For the management of spasticity in children, the injection technique is the same as for the intrathecal baclofen injection. The injection technique is the same as for intrathecal baclofen.
The injectable baclofen can be administered directly into the spongy membrane. The injection technique is the same as for intrathecal baclofen injection. The injection technique is the same as for the intrathecal baclofen injection.
The advantages of the intrathecal baclofen injection are:
The treatment is different for children with spasticity in children.
The treatment for children with spasticity in children can be given either by using the intrathecal baclofen or the intrathecal baclofen injection, as there are other alternative treatments available in the paediatric population.
The medication in the paediatric population is administered via a local anaesthetic (injectable) or intrathecal baclofen injection. Intrathecal baclofen can be given via an intrathecal baclofen injection. Intrathecal baclofen is injected directly into the spongy membrane. The intrathecal baclofen is injected into the spongy membrane.
For the management of spasticity in children, the medication is administered by the same local anaesthetic (injectable) or intrathecal baclofen injection. Intrathecal baclofen is administered via an intrathecal baclofen injection.
The treatment for children with spasticity in children is different for the different treatment methods. The treatment for children can be given by the same local anaesthetic (injectable) or intrathecal baclofen injection.
The treatment for children can be given via the intrathecal baclofen injection.
