Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Severity of tardive dyskinesia (TD) symptoms assessed by Abnormal Involuntary Movements Scale (AIMS) [ Time Frame: Baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Severity of TD symptoms assessed by AIMS [ Time Frame: Week 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from Baseline, Proportion of responders based on reduction from baseline

  • Severity of TD symptoms assessed by AIMS [ Time Frame: Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from Baseline, Proportion of responders based on reduction from baseline


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Clinical global impression - global improvement of TD (CGI-TD) [ Time Frame: Weeks 2 and 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Clinician's perspective of the participant's overall improvement of TD symptoms over time

  • Number of Participants with Adverse Events following dosing with NBI-98854 [ Time Frame: Up to 22 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Proportion of subjects reporting adverse events

  • Evaluation of plasma concentrations of NBI-98854 and metabolites following repeated daily doses (50 mg and 100 mg) of NBI-98854 [ Time Frame: Weeks 2, 6, 8, 12, 14, and 16 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Plasma samples will be collected and analyzed to evaluate drug and metabolite plasma concentrations.


Other Outcome Measures:
  • Exploratory efficacy assessment of 50 mg or 100 mg doses of NBI-98854 administered once daily for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD) symptoms [ Time Frame: Weeks 2, 6, 8, 12, and 16 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) questionnaire.

  • Exploratory efficacy assessment of 50 mg or 100 mg doses of NBI-98854 administered once daily for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD) symptoms [ Time Frame: Baseline; Weeks 2, 6, 12, and 16 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two doses (50 and 100 mg) of NBI-98854 administered once daily for up to 2 weeks. The study will also allow for an evaluation of the efficacy of NBI-98854 50 mg once daily for up to 6 weeks and the safety and tolerability of NBI 98854 50 mg once daily for up to 12 weeks.

The double-blind placebo-controlled treatment period the study has three arms:

  • NBI-98854 50 mg once daily for 6 weeks
  • NBI-98854 100 mg once daily for 2 weeks followed by 50 mg once daily for the remaining 4 weeks
  • placebo

At the end of the 6-week placebo-controlled double-blind treatment period, subjects will continue in the study for an additional 6-week open-label period where all subjects who have completed the double-blind treatment period will receive NBI-98854 50 mg once daily. Two and four weeks after the last dose of study drug, follow-up assessments will be performed.
