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.

Ages Eligible for Study

2 years to 13 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Experimental: Open Label Stabilization Phase: Aripiprazole
Participants began treatment with aripiprazole at a 2.0 mg/day dose, with the dose titrated to 5.0 mg/day after 2 days. Subsequent dose adjustments were based on the participant's weight to achieve optimum control of tics up to the maximum recommended doses based on the United States Labeling, up to Week 8 and then continued on the most stabilized dose up to minimum Week 14 or maximum Week 20. Participants who met stabilization criteria were randomized to Double-blind Randomization Phase.

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
Percentage of Participants With Relapse During the Double-blind Randomized Withdrawal Phase
Time Frame: From Randomization up to 12 weeks in Double-blind Randomized Withdrawal Phase
Relapse was defined as a loss of ≥ 50% of the improvement experienced during the open-label stabilization phase (i.e., improvement at the last assessment of Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) before randomization) on the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale Total Tic Score (YGTSS TTS). YGTSS provides an evaluation of the number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and interference of motor and phonic symptoms.
From Randomization up to 12 weeks in Double-blind Randomized Withdrawal Phase
