Primary Outcome Measures:

Primary efficacy measure is change from Baseline to endpoint (week 8) of the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS). [ Time Frame: baseline and week 8 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

The key secondary efficacy endpoints will be the CGI-TS change score at endpoint (week 8) (change score obtained from CGI-TS improvement scale assessment) and the mean changes from Baseline to endpoint (week 8) in GTS-QOL overall score. [ Time Frame: baseline and week 8 ]
