Conditions: Tardive Dyskinesia
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 234
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of NBI-98854 administered once daily for the treatment of Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) symptoms.

Detailed description:
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, fixed-dose study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two doses of NBI-98854 (40 mg and 80 mg) compared to placebo, administered once daily. The study design includes a double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period for 6 weeks and a double-blind NBI-98854 treatment period for an additional 42 weeks, for a total of 48 weeks of treatment. Final follow-up assessments will be conducted 4 weeks after the last dose of the study drug.

Arms:
arm 1: NBI-98854 administered as one (1) 40 mg capsule and one (1) placebo capsule, taken by mouth, every morning between 7:00am - 10:00am for 6 weeks. At the end of Week 6, subjects will enter a double-blind NBI-98854 treatment period and continue with their current dose. arm 2: Subjects randomized to the NBI-98854 80 mg dose will receive NBI-98854 40 mg for the first week (administered as one (1) 40 mg capsule and one (1) placebo capsule), followed by NBI-98854 80 mg administered as two (2) 40 mg capsules, taken by mouth, every morning between 7:00am - 10:00am for 5 weeks. At the end of Week 6, subjects will enter a double-blind NBI-98854 treatment period and continue with their current dose. arm 3: Placebo administered as two (2) placebo capsules, taken by mouth, every morning between 7:00am - 10:00am for 6 weeks. At the end of Week 6, subjects will enter a double-blind NBI-98854 treatment period and be randomized to either a 40 mg or 80 mg dose. Subjects re-randomized to receive NBI-98854 80 mg will receive 40 mg for the first week.
