Elan Pharmaceutical Releases Botulinum Toxin Phase 3 Results

SO. SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -(Dow Jones)- Elan Corp. PLC's (ELN) Elan
Pharmaceuticals Inc. unit said two Phase 3 clinical trials found its Botulinum
toxin Type B injectable solution may help some cervical dystonia patients.

The two separate studies evaluated the drug's ability to decrease the pain,
severity and disability of cervical dystonia, a movement disorder.

In a press release, Elan Pharmaceuticals said it included the studies in a
December 1998 product license application under review by the Food and Drug
Administration.

Side effects included dry mouth and difficulty swallowing and were generally
mild to moderate.

The Botulinum toxin Type B, which is injected directly into affected muscles,
relaxes them by interrupting nerve transmissions.
