Measure
Valbenazine
Participants received valbenazine once daily for up to 24 weeks. The starting dose was 20 mg for participants \<50 kg at baseline and 40 mg for participants ≥50 kg at baseline, and could be escalated in increments of 20 mg every 2 weeks to a maximum of 60 mg for participants \<50 kg and 80 mg for participants ≥50 kg to achieve an optimal dose of valbenazine for each participant.
