What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
NBI-98854Drug
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Dose Group 1 | Experimental | Fixed dose of NBI-98854 administered once daily for 48 weeks Receives: Drug: NBI-98854 |
| Dose Group 2 | Experimental | Fixed dose of NBI-98854 administered once daily up to 48 weeks Receives: Drug: NBI-98854 |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants Monitored for Long-Term Safety of Valbenazine
Number of participants monitored for long-term safety through reporting of treatment-emergent adverse events and monitoring of vital signs, clinical laboratory values, and ECG. Summaries of all treatment-emergent AEs, treatment-related AEs, SAEs, and AEs leading to study drug discontinuation were prepared.
Measured: 52 weeks
Secondary outcomes (4)
Severity of Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) Symptoms Assessed by Abnormal Involuntary Movements Scale (AIMS) Dyskinesia Total Score Change From Baseline at Week 48; On-site AIMS Raters
Severity of TD symptoms assessed by AIMS dyskinesia total score (sum of items 1 through 7), as assessed by On-Site AIMS video raters. The AIMS Total Dyskinesia Score rates a total of 7 items, rating involuntary movement from 0 (no dyskinesia) to 4 (severe dyskinesia). Items 1 through 7 include facial and oral movements (Items 1-4), extremity movements (Items 5-6), and trunk movements (Item 7). The AIMS dyskinesia total score for Items 1-7 ranges from 0 to 28; a higher score reflects increased severity.
Measured: Baseline and Week 48
Severity of Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) Symptoms Assessed by Abnormal Involuntary Movements Scale (AIMS) Dyskinesia Total Score Change From Baseline; Central AIMS Video Raters
Severity of TD symptoms assessed by AIMS dyskinesia total score (sum of items 1 through 7), as assessed by the blinded, Central AIMS Video Raters. The AIMS Total Dyskinesia Score rates a total of 7 items, rating involuntary movement from 0 (no dyskinesia) to 4 (severe dyskinesia). Items 1 through 7 include facial and oral movements (Items 1-4), extremity movements (Items 5-6), and trunk movements (Item 7). The AIMS dyskinesia total score for Items 1-7 ranges from 0 to 28; a higher score reflects increased severity.
Measured: Baseline, Change from Baseline at Week 8, and Change from Baseline at Week 52
Severity of Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) Symptoms Assessed by Abnormal Involuntary Movements Scale (AIMS) Dyskinesia Total Score Change From Baseline; On-Site AIMS Raters
Severity of TD symptoms assessed by AIMS dyskinesia total score (sum of items 1 through 7), as assessed by On-Site AIMS raters. The AIMS Total Dyskinesia Score rates a total of 7 items, rating involuntary movement from 0 (no dyskinesia) to 4 (severe dyskinesia). Items 1 through 7 include facial and oral movements (Items 1-4), extremity movements (Items 5-6), and trunk movements (Item 7). The AIMS dyskinesia total score for Items 1-7 ranges from 0 to 28; a higher score reflects increased severity.
Measured: Baseline, Change from Baseline at Week 8, and Change from Baseline at Week 52
Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement of Tardive Dyskinesia (CGI-TD) at Week 48
Clinician's perspective of the participant's overall improvement of TD symptoms since initiation of study drug dosing. The CGI-TD is based on a 7-point scale (range: 1=very much improved to 7=very much worse).
Measured: Week 48

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing NBI-98854 in people with Tardive Dyskinesia, run by Neurocrine Biosciences at 48 sites in 3 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 48 sites in United States, Canada, Puerto Rico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Nov 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Participants Monitored for Long-Term Safety of Valbenazine (time frame: 52 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02405091, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Nov 2018.
