PSYCHIATRIC STATUS GENERALLY REMAINED STABLE DURING THE KINECT 3 STUDY2
Safety assessments of psychiatric disorders from baseline through 6 weeks3
| Disorder | Observed increase or worsening | Measure |
|---|---|---|
| Schizophrenia | No | PANSSa |
| Mania | No | YMRSb |
| Suicidal ideation/ behavior |
No | C-SSRSc |
| Depression | No | CDSS,d MADRSe |
| 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 | 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. |
| d | 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. |
| e | 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. |
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
| f | 40 mg data include doses of 40 mg and 50 mg; 80 mg data include doses of 75 mg and 80 mg. |
