A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo- and Active Comparator- Controlled, Parallel Group, Multinational Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of IPX056 in Subjects With Established Spasticity Resulting From Multiple Sclerosis

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects, both good and bad, of IPX056 on
subjects and their spasticity. This study will also determine the relationship between the
amount of IPX056 in blood and the effects on spasticity. Lastly, this study will determine
how long IPX056 affects spasticity.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that IPX056 reduces spasticity,
measured by Ashworth score, in subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS). This study will also
(1) assess the correlation between pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) endpoints
(Ashworth score), and (2) quantify the duration of pharmacodynamic effects for IPX056 as
well as marketed baclofen tablet in subjects with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) after a single
dose. Additionally, the efficacy parameters, including Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale
(MSIS)-29, spasm frequency and nighttime awakening score, spasticity control, morning
stiffness, and Global Assessment of Efficacy and Tolerability, will be assessed during
open-label extension period. The safety of IPX056 will be monitored throughout the study.

This study consists of 2 parts: Part I (Screening Visit & Visit 1) of the study is a
single-dose, double-blind, randomized, placebo- and active comparator-controlled, parallel
group design containing a single 12 hour PK/PD evaluation period. Part II is an optional,
approximately 9-week open-label extension study and will start during Visit 1, immediately
after Visit 1 PK/PD procedures are completed.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Male or female at least 18 years old. If female and of childbearing potential,
continuing to practice and willing to continue throughout the study with appropriate
contraceptives (defined as oral, injected, or implanted contraceptives, or barrier
contraception). The subject must agree to take every precaution to ensure that
pregnancy will not occur during the study. Female subjects of childbearing potential
must have a negative urine pregnancy test immediately prior to study entry.

- Able to understand and willing to voluntarily sign an informed consent form (ICF) and
an Authorization to Use and Disclose Protected Health Information form (as required
by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act {HIPAA} legislation, if
appropriate for the region) prior to the performance of any study-specific
procedures.

- Has a negative urine drug screen at screening visit.

- Has Definite multiple sclerosis by Poser or McDonald Criteria.

- Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) rating between 3.0-8.0

- Has a normal ECG and a blood pressure <160/95 mmHg (systolic)/diastolic) at
screening, measured in the sitting position after approximately 5 minutes of quiet
rest.

- If the subject has a history of or presence of clinically significant peptic ulcers,
liver disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension or heart disease, the subject must be
on a stable treatment regimen for a minimum of 3 months prior to Screening Visit

- Wiling to wash out current medication with anti-spasticity activities, including but
not limited to baclofen, benzodiazepines, clonazepam, clonidine, dantrolene,
diazepam, gabapentin, and tizanidine.

- Ashworth score of 2 or more for at least one of the three lower extremity muscle
groups (hip adductor, knee flexor, knee extensor) in the most affected limb and a
total minimum score of 6 for four muscle groups (the above three plus plantar flexor)
on both limbs (maximum total score is 32) during screening visit and at pre-dose
during PK/PD Visit 1.

- Able and willing to comply with the protocol, including availability for all
scheduled clinic visits

Exclusion Criteria:

- If female, the subject is:

1. pregnant; or planning to become pregnant; or

2. breastfeeding; or

3. a woman of child-bearing potential (defined as post menarche and biologically
capable of becoming pregnant [i.e., not surgically sterile]) who is engaged in
active heterosexual relations and is not using a barrier or hormonal form of
birth control (i.e. oral, injected, or implanted contraceptives).

- History of allergic or severe intolerance to baclofen.

- Did not respond to previous baclofen treatment in any formulation.

- Treated with intrathecal baclofen within the previous 6 months prior to the Screening
Visit.

- Has experienced an exacerbation of MS within 6 months prior to the Screening Visit.

- Symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) within 4 weeks prior to the Screening Visit
and more than two (2) UTI incidents within the last 6 months.

- Serum creatinine level ≥ 2 x ULN (upper limit of normal reference range) at the
Screening Visit or requires dialysis.

- Liver enzyme values ≥ 2 x ULN (upper limit of normal reference range) at the
Screening Visit.

- Uncontrolled peptic ulcers, liver disease, diabetes mellitus, bladder sphincter
hypertonia, hypertension or heart disease.

- History of seizure or epilepsy, or is currently taking an anti-convulsant for
treatment or control of seizure.

- Concomitant neurologic conditions causing spasticity (e.g. stroke, cerebral palsy,
traumatic brain injury) or rigidity (e.g. Parkinson's disease).

- Any medical condition, including psychiatric disease, which would interfere with the
interpretation of the study results, the conduct of the study, or the safety of the
subject.

- Currently taking antipsychotics, CNS depressants or CNS depression producing
medications (including alcohol, sedating antihistamines, barbiturates, narcotics, and
phenothiazines), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI, including furazolidone,
procarbazine, selegiline, and tranylcypromine), and tricyclics.

- Unable or unwilling to wash out current anti-spasticity medications, including but
not limited to baclofen, benzodiazepines, clonazepam, clonidine, dantrolene,
diazepam, gabapentin, and/or tizanidine for Day 1, Visit 1, procedures. However,
these medications will be allowed during open label study.

- Unable or unwilling to participate 12-hour PK/PD procedures during Visit 1.

- Treated with Botulinum Toxin Type A or B within the previous 6 months, or Phenol or
therapeutic alcohol nerve block within 12 months prior to the Screening Visit.

- History of alcohol abuse or use of recreational drugs within 12 months prior to the
Screening Visit.

- Has received an investigational drug or device within 30 days prior to the Screening
Visit.

- Has clinically significant limitation of passive range of motion around any of the
joints being assessed in this study.

- Has had major surgery within 3 months prior to Screening visit that may affect
spasticity assessments such as abdominal surgery, back surgery, lower leg and knee
surgeries.
