Trial Outcomes & Findings for NBI-98854 for the Treatment of Tardive Dyskinesia in Subjects With Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder (KINECT Study) (NCT NCT01688037)

NCT ID: NCT01688037

Last Updated: 2017-11-08

Results Overview

The AIMS Total Dyskinesia Score rates a total of 7 items, rating involuntary movement from 0 (no dyskinesia) to 4 (severe dyskinesia). Items 1 through 7 include facial and oral movements (Items 1-4), extremity movements (Items 5-6), and trunk movements (Item 7). The AIMS dyskinesia total score for Items 1-7 ranges from 0 to 28; a higher score reflects increased severity. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in the AIMS dyskinesia total score at Week 6 between the pooled NBI-98854 50+100 mg group and placebo group analyzed using the ANCOVA model (LOCF, ITT analysis set).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 6

Population: Intent to Treat (ITT) analysis set (all subjects in the safety analysis set with an evaluable AIMS dyskinesia total score value at either Week 2 or Week 6). Last observation carried forward (LOCF) imputation method.

The AIMS Total Dyskinesia Score rates a total of 7 items, rating involuntary movement from 0 (no dyskinesia) to 4 (severe dyskinesia). Items 1 through 7 include facial and oral movements (Items 1-4), extremity movements (Items 5-6), and trunk movements (Item 7). The AIMS dyskinesia total score for Items 1-7 ranges from 0 to 28; a higher score reflects increased severity. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in the AIMS dyskinesia total score at Week 6 between the pooled NBI-98854 50+100 mg group and placebo group analyzed using the ANCOVA model (LOCF, ITT analysis set).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 6

Population: ITT analysis set (all subjects in the safety analysis set with an evaluable AIMS dyskinesia total score value at either Week 2 or Week 6).

Clinician's perspective of the participant's overall improvement of TD symptoms over time. The CGI-TD is based on a 7-point scale (range: 1=very much improved to 7=very much worse). The ANOVA analysis of CGI-TD was conducted for the pooled NBI-98854 50+100 mg group and placebo group.
