Prospective, Open-label Clinical Study of Ingrezza (Valbenazine) for the Treatment of Cervical Dystonia

Study of Ingrezza (Valbenazine) for the treatment of cervical dystonia.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study will be an open-label, prospective study. Patients with a diagnosis of cervical dystonia will undergo 4 weeks of baseline evaluation, followed by a 12-week treatment period. Subjects will be evaluated in-clinic every 4 weeks. Standardized assessments will be performed at these visits. Data will also be collected from wearable IMUs (inertial measurement units) and analyzed for improvements in involuntary, repetitive movements and postures.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 81 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female patients between 18 and 85 years of age (inclusive)
  • A clinical diagnosis of cervical dystonia (ie, spasmodic torticollis) by investigator for at least six months
  • Moderate to severe head tremor and/or dystonic posturing as judged by the investigator
  • Stable Botulinum Toxin (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Myobloc) therapy dosage for at least 3 months prior to baseline visit

Exclusion Criteria

  • Tardive dyskinesia
  • Predominant anterocollis
  • Concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (i.e. itraconazole, ketoconazole, clarithromycin), digoxin, strong CYP2D6 inhibitors (i.e. paroxetine, fluoxetine, quinidine), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (i.e. isocarboxazid, phenelzine, selegiline)
  • Myotomy or denervation surgery in the affected muscles (eg, peripheral denervation and/or spinal cord stimulation)
  • Diagnosis of Myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or any other significant neuromuscular disease which might interfere with the trial
  • Moderate to severe hepatic impartment as determined by a Child-Hugh Score ≥7
  • Marked limitation on passive range of motion that suggests contractures or other structural abnormality, eg, cervical contractures or cervical spine syndrome
  • Any conditions that may increase the risk associated with study participation or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study
  • Participation in another interventional study during participation in this study
  • Pregnant or lactating females, or females of child-bearing potential not willing to use an acceptable method of contraception
  • History of hypersensitivity to valbenazine or any components of INGREZZA.

  • Is suicidal at screening as defined by below:

    1. According to the C-SSRS, he or she must not be actively suicidal at Visit 1 (Screening) or Visit 2 (Baseline) (including, an answer of "yes" to C-SSRS questions 4 or 5 [current or over the last 6 months]) and must not have attempted suicide in the 1 year prior to Visit 1 (Screening); OR
    2. The subject is actively suicidal in the Investigator's judgment

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 in incidence of pain/spasm
Time Frame: 16 weeks
Change in incidence rate of pain/spasm as measured by frequency and intensity in subjects prior to and during use of valbenazine as measured by Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) and Inertial measurement unit (IMU). TWSTRS is a composite scale used to measure three aspects of CD: severity, disability, and pain. TWSTRS total score falls within the range of 0 to 85, where a higher score indicates a more severe condition.

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.
