Treatment and study plan

Valbenazine

Drug

vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor

Other names: NBI-98854

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Up to 262 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from Baseline in the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) Total Maximal Chorea (TMC) Score

    Time frame: Up to 262 weeks

    The TMC is part of the motor assessment of the UHDRS and measures chorea in 7 different body parts including the face, oral-buccal-lingual region, trunk and each limb independently. The TMC score is the sum of the individual scores and ranges from 0 to 28. A decrease in score indicates improvement in chorea.
