简要总结
The goal of this open-label clinical trial is to test the safety and efficacy of valbenazine treatment in patients with Intellectual/Developmental Disability (IDD) who have a diagnosis of Tardive dyskinesia (TD). The main questions this study aims to answer are:
- Does valbenazine treatment of TD in the previously untreated patient population of adults with IDD produce comparable amelioration of signs of movement disorder as what has historically been reported in adults without IDD?
- Is valbenazine treatment of TD in persons with IDD as safe as what has historically been reported in adults without IDD?
- Does valbenazine treatment improve Quality of Life (QOL) in persons with IDD and TD treated with valbenazine?
- Does valbenazine treatment produce positive change in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) in persons with IDD and TD?
- Does valbenazine treatment of TD in persons with IDD reduce caregiver burden?
In this study, 25 participants with IDD and TD will undergo valbenazine treatment for 24 weeks. The participants will be seen for a total of 5 visits: at baseline, and at follow up visits at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks.
This study does not include a comparison group. Therefore, researchers will compare the response of the study participants to valbenazine treatment with those from a previous reported work that resulted in the FDA approval of this medication.
详细描述
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is recognized as a common and often debilitating movement disorder, associated with treatment of a variety of illnesses with dopamine receptor-blocking medications (also commonly known as antipsychotic medications. In addition to the distressing and disfiguring movements of TD, there is now also evidence of a reduced quality of life in patients with TD compared to peers with similar psychiatric disorders without TD.
When originally described, TD had been thought to be primarily associated with use of First-Generation Antipsychotics (FGA's, also known as typical antipsychotics), but there are now good studies to suggest that TD is also frequently a result of exposure to Second Generation Antipsychotics (SGA's) as well. Valbenazine, a selective vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor, is now available to treat the symptoms of TD, with a favorable efficacy and safety profile. This medication offers, for the first time, a treatment option for patients - as well as their caregivers and families - suffering with TD.
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) commonly suffer from co-occurring psychiatric and/or behavioral disorders (informally known as a "dual diagnosis"). Such individuals are commonly prescribed antipsychotic medications to treat these co-occurring disorders. Several authors have noted that antipsychotic medications have frequently been over-prescribed for individuals with IDD, often in the absence of an identified psychotic illness. Some studies have shown that up to 20-30% of adults with IDD are prescribed antipsychotic medications across a variety of residential settings.
Surrounding this frequent use of antipsychotic medications in persons with IDD, it is now well-established that persons and that having intellectual disability is a recognized risk factor for developing TD when treated with antipsychotic medications. Finally, recent research has confirmed the long-suspected belief that persons with IDD are MORE susceptible to movement disorder side effects when treated with antipsychotic medications when compared to persons without IDD.
Based on their increased exposure to antipsychotics, and increased susceptibility to movement disorders including TD, it would seem that persons with IDD who have TD are a group who could benefit most from treatment with a novel agent which can address this movement disorder.

研究组 & 干预措施
Valbenazine
This an open-label study in which all participants will have their valbenazine dose titrated from 40 mg to 80 mg per day, which will remain the valbenazine dose through end of study, unless interrupted by adverse events. Participants taking valbenazine who are concurrently taking strong CYP2D6 inhibitors (paroxetine, fluoxetine, bupropion, duloxetine) will continue their valbenazine dose at 40 mg per day through end of study. Participants taking valbenazine who are concurrently taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, fluconazole, cimetidine, verapamil) will continue their valbenazine dose at 40 mg per day through end of study.
干预措施: Valbenazine Oral Capsule (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in AIMS total scores of items 1-7
时间窗: Baseline and 24 weeks from start of treatment
The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) has been used for many years as the gold standard for this purpose and the amount of improvement (change in movement intensity, and reduction in AIMS scores) have been assessed clinical significance in rating improvement. A number of authors have noted the difficulty in using the AIMS in persons with IDD who cannot cooperate fully in the examination process. For this reason, some have suggested using videotaped AIMS exams as a methodology for more accurately quantifying change. Videotaping of exams pre- and post-treatment for blind rating of improvement has been a methodology utilized in a number of recent studies of valbenazine. The minimum value of the AIMS total score of items 1-7 is 0 and the maximum value is 49. Higher total AIMS scores mean worse outcomes.
