Study Summary

Phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and efficacy of NBI-98854 administered once daily (qd) for a total of 8 weeks of treatment. This study will enroll approximately 90 male and female subjects clinically diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome.

Primary Outcome

The YGTSS is designed to rate the overall severity of motor and phonic tic symptoms across a range of dimensions: number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and interference. The YGTSS was administered by the investigator (or qualified designee) using a computer-based structured clinical interview. The TTS is the sum of the 5 motor tic items and the 5 phonic (vocal) tic items and ranges from 0 to 50, with higher scores representing greater severity
