Study Objectives

The approval of valbenazine (INGREZZA; VBZ) for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD) in adults was based on results from double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled trials. These studies demonstrated the efficacy of once-daily VBZ based on intent-to-treat analyses. However, because many different types ofpatients can develop TD, subgroup analyses describing treatment outcomes by various patient factors were also conducted.

Methods

Data were pooled from three 6-week trials: KINECT (NCT01688037), KINECT 2 (NCT01733121), KINECT 3 (NCT02274558), with outcomes analyzed by VBZ dose (80 mg, 40 mg) and PBO. Descriptive analyses conducted using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) total score included: mean change from baseline to Week 6; and AIMS response, defined as 50% improvement from baseline to Week 6. Subgroups were defined as follows: age (<55 years, ≥55 years), sex (male, female), psychiatric diagnosis (schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder, mood disorder), CYP2D6 genotype (poor metabolizer [PM], non-PM), body mass index (BMI) (<18.5, 18.5 to <25, 25 to <30, ≥30 kg/m2), concomitant antipsychotic (yes, no); type of antipsychotic (atypical, typical/both); lifetime history of suicidality (yes, no); concomitant anticholinergic (yes, no); TD duration (<7 years, ≥7 years).

Results

The pooled population included 373 participants (VBZ 80 mg, n=101; VBZ 40 mg, n=114; PBO, n=158). Mean improvements from baseline to Week 6 in AIMS total score were greater overall with VBZ compared to PBO. Within subgroup categories, AIMS score improvement with VBZ 80 mg (recommended dose) was greater in CYP2D6 PMs (n=17; 80 mg, -6.8; 40 mg, 2.4; PBO, 0.5), participants taking no concomitant antipsychotics (n=64; 80 mg, -4.9; 40 mg, -3.0; PBO, 0.0), and overweight participants (BMI 25 to <30 kg/m2, n=115; 80 mg, -4.2; 40 mg, 2.7; PBO, -0.7). Overweight participants also had the highest AIMS response rates at Week 6 (80 mg, 57.7%; 40 mg, 31.6%; PBO, 11.8%), followed by participants taking typical/both antipsychotics (n=67; 80 mg, 57.1%; 40 mg, 20.0%; PBO, 25.0%), and those taking anticholinergics (n=126; 80 mg, 52.9%; 40 mg, 22.7%; PBO, 6.3%).

Conclusion

These preliminary analyses indicate that TD improvements were generally greater with VBZ than PBO across most subgroups. However, the small sizes of some subgroups may need to be considered when interpreting results. Additional analyses within subgroup categories are ongoing and will be presented at the meeting.
