Drug-induced parkinsonism across the study period, as measured by the Simpson-Angus Scale3

In the 3 placebo-controlled clinical studies in patients with TD, the incidence of parkinson-like adverse events was 3% of patients treated with INGREZZA and <1% of patients treated with placebo. The mean change in Simpson-Angus Scale score from baseline at 6 weeks across studies was1,3,f:

  • 0.0 for INGREZZA 40 mg
  • −0.1 for INGREZZA 80 mg
  • −0.1 for placebo
a

Mean change in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score from baseline at 6 weeks was −0.4 for INGREZZA 40 mg, −0.8 for INGREZZA 80 mg, and ±0.0 for placebo.

b

Mean change in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) total score from baseline at 6 weeks was −0.4 for INGREZZA 40 mg, −1.4 for INGREZZA 80 mg, and +0.5 for placebo.

c

Mean change in Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) total score from baseline at 6 weeks was −0.5 for INGREZZA 40 mg, −0.4 for INGREZZA 80 mg, and −0.1 for placebo.

d

Mean change in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score from baseline at 6 weeks was ±0.0 for INGREZZA 40 mg, −1.5 for INGREZZA 80 mg, and +1.2 for placebo.

e

Incidence of suicidal ideation or behavior on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) was 5.6% for INGREZZA 40 mg, 2.5% for INGREZZA 80 mg, and 5.3% for placebo.

f

40 mg data includes doses of 40 mg and 50 mg; 80 mg data includes doses of 75 mg and 80 mg.

Important Information

INDICATION & USAGE

INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules and INGREZZA® SPRINKLE (valbenazine) capsules are indicated in adults for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia and for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Depression and Suicidality in Patients with Huntington’s Disease: VMAT2 inhibitors, including INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE, can increase the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior (suicidality) in patients with Huntington’s disease. Balance the risks of depression and suicidality with the clinical need for treatment of chorea. Closely monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal ideation, or unusual changes in behavior. Inform patients, their caregivers, and families of the risk of depression and suicidal ideation and behavior and instruct them to report behaviors of concern promptly to the treating physician. Exercise caution when treating patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation, which are increased in frequency in patients with Huntington’s disease.
