Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline to Week 6 in the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) Total Tic Score (TTS)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 6
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
Baseline, Week 6

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical Global Impression of Tourette Syndrome (CGI-TS) - Improvement Score at Week 6
Time Frame: Week 6
The CGI-TS-Improvement scale is used to assess overall improvement since the initiation of study drug dosing on a 7-point scale. Each of the CGI-TS-Improvement response categories was assigned a numerical score as follows: 1 = Very much improved; 2 = Much improved; 3 = Minimally improved; 4 = Not changed; 5 = Minimally worse; 6 = Much worse; 7 = Very much worse.
Week 6
Participants Who Are a YGTSS TTS Responder at Week 6
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 6
A TTS responder is defined, on a per-visit basis, as a participant whose TTS value is reduced by at least 30% from baseline at the specified postbaseline visit.
Baseline, Week 6
Change From Baseline to Week 6 in the YGTSS Impairment Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 6
The YGTSS Impairment item is used to rate impairment due to tics using the following 50-point anchored scale: 0 = None; 10 = Minimal; 20 = Mild; 30 = Moderate; 40 = Marked; 50 = Severe.
Baseline, Week 6
Change From Baseline to Week 6 in the YGTSS Global Tic Severity Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 6
The YGTSS Global Tic Severity score is the sum of the YGTSS TTS and the YGTSS Impairment score and ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores representing greater severity.
Baseline, Week 6
Change From Baseline to Week 6 in the Rush Video-based Tic Rating Scale (RTRS) Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 6
A modified RTRS was used in this study that includes short video recordings to measure 5 tic variables: number of body areas affected, frequency of motor and phonic tics, and severity of motor and phonic tics. The RTRS total score is calculated as the sum of the 5 domain scores, and ranges from 0 to 20, with higher scores representing greater severity. The final on-treatment visit was used in participants who discontinued prior to Week 6.
Baseline, Week 6
Change From Baseline to Week 6 in the Premonitory Urge for Tics Scale (PUTS) Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 6
The PUTS is an instrument for quantifying the premonitory urge phenomena associated with tics. It consists of 9 items, each of which is scored on a 4-point scale (1=not at all true, 2=a little true, 3=pretty much true, 4=very much true). The PUTS total score is calculated as the sum of the scores for the 9 items. The total score ranges from 9 to 36, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.
Baseline, Week 6
Change From Baseline to Week 6 in the Clinical Global Impression of Tics (CGI-Tics) - Severity Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 6
The CGI-Tics-Severity scale is used to assess overall severity on a 7-point scale. Each of the CGI-Tics-Severity response categories was assigned a numerical score as follows: 1 = Normal, not at all ill; 2 = Borderline ill; 3 = Mildly ill; 4 = Moderately ill; 5 = Markedly ill; 6 = Severely ill; 7 = Among the most extremely ill patient.
Baseline, Week 6
Participants Who Are a CGI-TS-Improvement Responder at Week 6
Time Frame: Week 6
A participant is classified as a CGI-TS-Improvement responder at a given visit if their CGI-TS-Improvement score is either a "1" ("very much improved") or a "2" ("much improved") at the visit.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
