Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change From Baseline in Total Tic Score (TTS) of the Yale Global Tic Severity Scalebaseline and Week 20

Total Tic Score is the sum of ten individual ratings of the impairment due to tics. Each scale ranges from 0 (None/Absent) to 5 (Severe) and total score ranges from 0 to 50.

Mean Change From Baseline in Total Score of the Yale Global Tic Severity Scalebaseline and Week 24

Total Score is a rating of the overall impairment due to motor and phonic tics. The scale ranges from 0 (None) to 50 (Severe).

Clinical Global Impressions - Severity of Illnessweek 24

Overall improvement during the last week compared to baseline ranging from 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), to 7 (very much worse). Responder has 'very much' or 'much' improvement. Non responder has less improvement than 'much' improvement.

Clinical Global Impressions - Severity of Illness, Categorizedweek 24

Assessment of the overall severity of illness on a scale ranging from 1 (not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).

Overall improvement during the last week compared to baseline ranging from 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), to 7 (very much worse). Responder has 'very much' or 'much' improvement. Non responder has less improvement than 'much' improvement.

Clinical Global Impressions - Improvementweek 24

Assessment of the overall improvement during the last week compared to the patient's condition at baseline on a scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

Patient Global Impression - Improvementweek 24

Assessment of the change of the patient's overall condition during the last week compared to the patient's condition at baseline on a scale ranging from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse). A responder is defined as having a response of very much (1) or much better (2).

Frequency of Patients With Possible Clinically Significant Abnormalities for Laboratory ParametersBaseline and 24 weeks

Frequency of patients with possible clinically significant abnormalities for laboratory parameters (blood hematology and electrolyte assessments, serum chemistry, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol for pubertal female patients, prolactin in all patients, testosterone in pubertal male patients, urine analysis)
