Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two doses (50 and 100 mg) of NBI-98854 administered once daily for the treatment of Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) symptoms.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two doses (50 and 100 mg) of NBI-98854 administered once daily for up to 2 weeks. The study will also allow for an evaluation of the efficacy of NBI-98854 50 mg once daily for up to 6 weeks and the safety and tolerability of NBI 98854 50 mg once daily for up to 12 weeks. The double-blind placebo-controlled treatment period the study has three arms: * NBI-98854 50 mg once daily for 6 weeks * NBI-98854 100 mg once daily for 2 weeks followed by 50 mg once daily for the remaining 4 weeks * placebo At the end of the 6-week placebo-controlled double-blind treatment period, subjects will continue in the study for an additional 6-week open-label period where all subjects who have completed the double-blind treatment period will receive NBI-98854 50 mg once daily. Two and four weeks after the last dose of study drug, follow-up assessments will be performed.

Arms & Interventions
NBI-98854 50 mg
NBI-98854 50 mg administered as two (2) 25 mg capsules by mouth, taken every morning between 7:00am - 10:00am for 6 weeks.
Intervention: NBI-98854
NBI-98854 100 mg and 50 mg
NBI-98854 100 mg administered as two (2) 50 mg capsules taken every morning between 7:00am - 10:00am for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, NBI-98854 50 mg administered by two (2) 25 mg capsules by mouth, taken every morning between 7:00am - 10:00am for remaining 4 weeks.
Intervention: NBI-98854
Placebo
Capsule containing no active substance, manufactured to mimic NBI-98854 25 mg and 50 mg capsules.
Intervention: Placebo
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) Dyskinesia Total Score Change From Baseline at Week 6
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6
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. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in the AIMS dyskinesia total score at Week 6 between the pooled NBI-98854 50+100 mg group and placebo group analyzed using the ANCOVA model (LOCF, ITT analysis set).
Secondary Outcomes
- Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement of TD (CGI-TD)(Week 6)
- Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement of TD (CGI-TD) at Week 2(Week 2)
