Changes in Total Tic, Motor, and Phonic Tic Scores over Time. Primary efficacy scores were change in mean TTS scores at week 8 following 6 weeks of titration and 2 weeks maintenance dosing with deutetrabenazine. The graph illustrates a reduction in TTS, motor and phonic tic mean scores to week 8 (all p<0.001). When deutetrabenazine was withdrawn, the total and individual scores increased until the last assessment at week 9. Error bars represent the standard deviations. Abbreviations: YGTSS, Yale Global Tic Severity Scale; TTS, YGTSS Total Tic Score; Motor Tic Score, Motor; Vocal Tic Score, Phonic.

1 Confidence interval based on the t-distribution.

2 p-values are from two-sided one sample t-tests performed on the change from baseline to week 8 for all endpoints except TS-PGIC for which the Wilcoxon--signed rank test was performed

3 BDI-II minimum and maximal values provided instead of 95% CI limits

4 5 patients had baseline values >16 for CY-BOCS total score

n = 23 for baseline measures and n = 21 for Week 8 assessments

TS-CGI Score Reductions at Week 8. Physician ratings of clinical improvement following deutetrabenazine treatment are graphically presented with the number and percentage of patients with score rating reductions by 1, 2, and 3 points occurring between baseline and week 8 TS-CGI assessments. Abbreviations: TS-CGI: Tourette’s Syndrome Clinical Global Impression Scale.
