Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Pre-randomization Valbenazine

Participants received valbenazine once daily for up to 12 weeks, depending on if and when randomization occured. The starting dose was 20 mg for participants <50 kg at baseline and 40 mg for participants ≥50 kg at baseline, and could be escalated in increments of 20 mg every 2 weeks to a maximum of 60 mg for participants <50 kg and 80 mg for participants ≥50 kg to achieve an optimal dose of valbenazine for each participant.

Drug: Valbenazine
vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor
Other Names:
  • NBI-98854
  • Placebo Comparator: Randomized Placebo

    Participants received placebo (matching valbenazine) once daily from randomization (Week 8, 10, or 12) through Week 36. Randomization into this arm occurred after treatment with valbenazine once daily through randomization.

    Drug: Placebo oral capsule
    non-active dosage form

    Experimental: Randomized Valbenazine

    Participants received their optimized dose of valbenazine once daily from randomization (Week 8, 10, or 12) through Week 36. Randomization into this arm occurred after treatment with valbenazine once daily through randomization.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to Loss of Treatment Response [Randomization (Week 8, 10 or 12) through Week 36]

      Loss of treatment response during the withdrawal period was defined as: 2 consecutive visits with 1) an increase in the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) Total Tic Score (TTS) of greater than 35% or 7 points from the randomized withdrawal period baseline and 2) an increase in CGI-Tics-Severity score of ≥2 points from the randomized withdrawal period baseline; or discontinuation due to lack of efficacy or a treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) of worsening of tics. Median (lower and upper quartiles) Kaplan-Meier estimates for the time to loss of treatment response were not able to be calculated because of the low incidence of loss of treatment response events.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Randomization Baseline to the 8 Weeks Post-randomization Timepoint in the YGTSS TTS [Randomization Baseline (Week 8, 10 or 12); 8 weeks post-randomization]

      The YGTSS is designed to rate the overall severity of motor and phonic tic symptoms across a range of dimensions: number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and interference. The YGTSS was administered by the investigator (or qualified designee) using a computer-based structured clinical interview. The TTS is the sum of the 5 motor tic items and the 5 phonic (vocal) tic items and ranges from 0 to 50, with higher scores representing greater severity. Least-squares mean were estimated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures.

    2. Change From Randomization Baseline to the Week 36 Visit in the YGTSS TTS [Randomization Baseline (Week 8, 10 or 12); Week 36]

      The YGTSS is designed to rate the overall severity of motor and phonic tic symptoms across a range of dimensions: number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and interference. The YGTSS was administered by the investigator (or qualified designee) using a computer-based structured clinical interview. The TTS is the sum of the 5 motor tic items and the 5 phonic (vocal) tic items and ranges from 0 to 50, with higher scores representing greater severity.

    3. Change From Randomization Baseline to the 8 Weeks Post-randomization Timepoint in the CGI-Tics-Severity Score [Randomization Baseline (Week 8, 10 or 12); 8 weeks post-randomization]

      The CGI-Tics-Severity scale is used to assess overall severity on a 7-point scale. Each of the CGI-Tics-Severity response categories was assigned a numerical score as follows: 1 = Normal, not at all ill; 2 = Borderline ill; 3 = Mildly ill; 4 = Moderately ill; 5 = Markedly ill; 6 = Severely ill; 7 = Among the most extremely ill patient.

    4. Change From Randomization Baseline to the Week 36 Visit in the CGI-Tics-Severity Score [Randomization Baseline (Week 8, 10 or 12); Week 36]

      The CGI-Tics-Severity scale is used to assess overall severity on a 7-point scale. Each of the CGI-Tics-Severity response categories was assigned a numerical score as follows: 1 = Normal, not at all ill; 2 = Borderline ill; 3 = Mildly ill; 4 = Moderately ill; 5 = Markedly ill; 6 = Severely ill; 7 = Among the most extremely ill patient.

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details Up to 180 male and female pediatric subjects between 6 and 17 years of age (inclusive) with a DSM-IV or -V diagnosis of TS were planned to be enrolled. A total of 81 subjects were enrolled. The first and last participants were enrolled on April 17 2018 and May 7 2019, respectively.
    Pre-assignment Detail At the end of Weeks 8, 10, or 12, treatment responders (sufficient control of tic behaviors based on investigator assessment) were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to placebo or valbenazine. Randomization was stratified based on the subject's weight group at baseline (<50 kg versus ≥50 kg). The visit week when subjects were randomized was blinded. At Week 12 all nonresponders were discontinued.
    Arm/Group Title Pre-randomization Valbenazine Randomized Placebo Randomized Valbenazine
    Arm/Group Description Participants received valbenazine once daily for up to 12 weeks, depending on if and when randomization occurred.

Participants received placebo (matching valbenazine) once daily from randomization (Week 8, 10, or 12) through Week 36. Randomization into this arm occurred after treatment with valbenazine once daily through randomization. Participants received their optimized dose of valbenazine once daily from randomization (Week 8, 10, or 12) through Week 36.
