Valbenazine for adults with tardive dyskinesia who remain symptomatic on or after a VMAT2 inhibitor

Official title: A Phase 4, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Valbenazine on Clinician- and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients With Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) Who Remain Symptomatic While on Deutetrabenazine or After Discontinuing Prior TD Treatment With a Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 (VMAT2) Inhibitor

Run by Neurocrine Biosciences · NCT07105111 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will test whether valbenazine reduces involuntary movements in adults with tardive dyskinesia who still have symptoms while taking or after stopping a VMAT2 inhibitor.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults (≥18) with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, or major depressive disorder who have had at least mild TD for three months and remain symptomatic while taking or after stopping a VMAT2 inhibitor.

Probably not a fit

People whose abnormal movements are due to Parkinsonism rather than TD, those with recent moderate-to-severe substance use disorder, or those with significant cardiac or liver disease are unlikely to be suitable or to benefit from this treatment.

What this trial studies

This Phase 4 interventional trial gives valbenazine to adults with tardive dyskinesia who remain symptomatic while receiving or after stopping a VMAT2 inhibitor and measures clinician- and patient-reported outcomes. Eligible participants are ≥18 years old with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, or major depressive disorder for at least three months and TD of at least three months' duration. Key exclusions include prominent Parkinsonism, moderate-to-severe substance use disorder within six months, history of long QT syndrome or cardiac arrhythmia, and severe hepatic impairment. The study is run at Neurocrine Clinical Sites in Arkansas and California with repeated clinical and patient-reported assessments.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If effective, valbenazine could reduce involuntary movements and improve daily functioning and quality of life for people with persistent TD despite prior VMAT2 inhibitor use.

How similar studies have gone: Previous randomized trials of valbenazine and other VMAT2 inhibitors have shown benefit for reducing TD, but this trial specifically targets people who remain symptomatic while on or after another VMAT2 inhibitor.
