Patients Treated with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) Capsules Reported Continued Improvements in Functional and Health-Related Quality of Life Measures Findings Presented at 2025 International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research Conference SAN DIEGO, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced the presentation of new analyses from a Phase 4 randomized withdrawal study (NCT03891862) showing patients with tardive dyskinesia who received continued treatment with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules reported improvements across functional and health-related quality of life measures. These findings complement recently announced patient-reported outcome data from the Phase 4 KINECT-PRO™ study of INGREZZA, which was the first of its kind to specifically measure and report clinically meaningful improvements in the impact of tardive dyskinesia. The analyses were presented at the 2025 International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) Conference in Montreal, Canada. "Tardive dyskinesia can affect patients' daily lives, causing pain and anxiety and hindering the ability to perform self-care tasks and to participate in work, family or social life," said Eiry W. Roberts, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "These unique analyses add to the expansive body of evidence demonstrating that INGREZZA treatment can significantly improve tardive dyskinesia patients' quality of life, addressing outcomes important to both patients and healthcare providers." The analyses were conducted using data from 127 patients who participated in a Phase 4, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study. Patients received up to 80 mg of INGREZZA for eight weeks, after which they were randomized to either continue INGREZZA (n=59) or receive placebo (n=59) for an additional eight weeks. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was measured using the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L), which includes five dimensions of health status (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression). A utility index, ranging from -0.573 to 1.0, and visual analog scale (EQ-VAS), ranging from 0 to 100, were also reported with higher scores indicating better health status. Functional impairment was measured using the five-item Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS), in which three items assessed work/school (patient had to be working or attending school to be included), social life and family/home life impairment. Scores were combined for an SDS total score for patients with work/school scores. Reductions in scores indicated improvement. In the open-label portion of the study, patients receiving INGREZZA treatment for eight weeks experienced significant improvements from baseline in multiple areas of HRQoL (Poster #PCR191), including mobility (change from baseline: -0.27), self-care (-0.28), usual activities (-0.36) and pain/discomfort (-0.34). Those randomized to receive INGREZZA for an additional eight weeks (Week 16) saw continued improvements in all HRQoL dimensions, including significant improvements in mobility (placebo-adjusted difference from Week 8: -0.34) and anxiety/depression (-0.38) compared with those receiving placebo. In a separate analysis (Poster #PCR190), patients in the open-label portion of the same study receiving INGREZZA treatment for eight weeks experienced significant improvements from baseline in work/school (change from baseline: -1.37), social life (-1.65), family/home life (-1.30) and SDS total score (-4.28). Those randomized to receive INGREZZA for an additional eight weeks saw continued improvements in all domains, including significant improvements in social life (placebo-adjusted difference from Week 8: -0.95) and family/home life (-0.89) compared with those receiving placebo.

The condition is associated with taking certain kinds of mental health medicines (antipsychotics) that help control dopamine receptors in the brain. Taking antipsychotics commonly prescribed to treat mental illnesses such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and other prescription medicines (metoclopramide and prochlorperazine) used to treat gastrointestinal disorders are associated with TD. In patients with TD, these treatments are thought to result in irregular dopamine signaling in a region of the brain that controls movement. The symptoms of TD can be mild to severe and are often persistent and irreversible. TD is estimated to affect at least 800,000 adults in the U.S. About Chorea Associated with Huntington's Disease Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary progressive neurodegenerative disorder in which the loss of certain neurons within the brain causes motor, cognitive and psychiatric symptoms. Symptoms generally appear between the ages of 30 and 50 years and worsen over a 10- to 25-year period. Most people with HD experience chorea, an abnormal involuntary movement disorder, characterized by irregular and unpredictable movements. Chorea can affect various body parts and interfere with motor coordination, gait, swallowing and speech. HD is estimated to affect approximately 41,000 adults in the U.S., with more than 200,000 at risk of inheriting the disease. About INGREZZA®  (valbenazine) Capsules and INGREZZA®  SPRINKLE (valbenazine) Capsules INGREZZA is a selective vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adults with tardive dyskinesia and the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD). Only INGREZZA offers a therapeutic dose from day one with no required titration. INGREZZA, developed by Neurocrine Biosciences, selectively inhibits VMAT2 with no appreciable binding affinity for VMAT1, dopaminergic (including D2), serotonergic, adrenergic, histaminergic or muscarinic receptors. While the specific way INGREZZA works to treat TD and HD chorea is not fully understood, INGREZZA is unique in that it selectively and specifically targets VMAT2 to inhibit the release of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that helps control movement. INGREZZA is believed to reduce extra dopamine signaling, which may lead to fewer uncontrollable movements. INGREZZA is proven across the widest range of patients. It is always one capsule, once daily and can be taken together with most stable mental health regimens such as antipsychotics or antidepressants. Only INGREZZA offers the benefit of a sprinkle formulation, INGREZZA SPRINKLE, for those who experience dysphagia, have difficulty swallowing or prefer not to swallow a pill. INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE dosages approved for use are 40 mg, 60 mg and 80 mg capsules.

Post-hoc analysis of higher risk older adults showed substantial and sustained improvements in tardive dyskinesia symptoms with no new treatment-emergent adverse events of clinical concern SAN DIEGO, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced publication of a post-hoc analysis from two 48-week studies, the KINECT® 3 extension and KINECT® 4, demonstrating the long-term safety profile and robust efficacy of INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules in adults aged 65 years and older with tardive dyskinesia (TD) in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. This represents the first and only published peer-reviewed analysis of a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor for the treatment of TD in older adults (≥65 years), a group at higher risk for TD and associated consequences. Individuals aged 60 years and older may develop TD after as little as one month of exposure to antipsychotics and other dopamine receptor blocking agents. The involuntary movements of TD can also have a substantial impact on older adults, affecting their balance, gait, ability to swallow and respiratory conditions. The data from this post-hoc analysis show substantial and sustained improvements in TD symptoms in older adults, with no new treatment-emergent adverse events of clinical concern found when compared with younger adults (<65 years). "This analysis, the first and only of its kind in a peer-reviewed publication, addresses an important gap in research on this potentially vulnerable population," said Eiry W. Roberts, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "These data show that participants 65 years and older achieved clinically meaningful improvements in tardive dyskinesia symptoms within eight weeks of INGREZZA treatment, with substantial and sustained improvement up to 48 weeks, adding to the breadth of evidence suggesting INGREZZA is uniquely suitable for this patient population." The pooled post-hoc analysis included 304 participants across studies who received a once-daily dose of INGREZZA (40 mg or 80 mg) for up to 48 weeks. Of the total participants, 55 (18.1%) were 65 years and older. At Week 48, efficacy and safety outcomes were analyzed by dose (40 mg, 80 mg) and age (<65 years, ≥65 years). The efficacy of INGREZZA was assessed using mean changes from baseline in the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) total score, AIMS response thresholds (≥30% and ≥50% improvement from baseline) and response threshold for Clinical Global Impression of Change-Tardive Dyskinesia (CGI-TD) and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), defined as a score ≤2 ("much improved" or "very much improved"). At baseline, participants in both age subgroups had a mean AIMS total score of approximately 12, consistent with moderate to severe severity in one or more body regions. The safety profile of INGREZZA was evaluated through adverse event monitoring and psychiatric symptom scales. Data from this analysis of participants ≥65 years in the KINECT 3 extension and KINECT 4 studies suggest substantial and sustained improvements in TD symptoms with INGREZZA treatment (all doses): Overall, psychiatric stability was maintained through 48 weeks of treatment and INGREZZA was generally well tolerated. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events reported from Weeks 8 to 48 included urinary tract infection and somnolence; each occurred in six of the 55 participants who were 65 years and older. There were no statistically significant differences between age groups (<65 versus ≥65) for most efficacy and safety outcomes at Week 48. About the KINECT® 3 Phase 3 Study KINECT 3 is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed-dose study in which 234 participants with moderate to severe TD and underlying schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or mood disorder (including bipolar disorder or major depressive disorder) received six weeks of once-daily INGREZZA (40 mg or 80 mg capsules) or placebo (participants randomized to 80 mg started on 40 mg for one week). Subsequent to the completion of the six-week placebo-controlled dosing, participants receiving INGREZZA continued on their current dose and placebo participants were randomized to receive either once-daily 40 mg or once-daily 80 mg of INGREZZA, through Week 48 (42-week blinded treatment extension period; placebo participants randomized to 80 mg started on 40 mg for one week), followed by a four-week, drug-free washout. Dose reduction to 40 mg was allowed for participants who were unable to tolerate the 80 mg dose. Patients were discontinued if the new dose was not tolerated. The study met its primary endpoint of change-from-baseline in AIMS at Week 6 in the 80 mg once-daily dosing group compared with placebo as assessed by expert central blinded video raters. The mean change from baseline to Week 6 in the AIMS rating was -3.2 for the 80 mg once-daily group as compared with -0.1 in the placebo group (P>0.0001). Sustained TD improvements were seen with INGREZZA 40 mg and 80 mg through Week 48. INGREZZA was generally well tolerated throughout 48 weeks of treatment. The most common adverse reactions (≥ 5% and twice the rate of placebo) during the six-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase was somnolence with the frequency of adverse events being similar among all treatment groups. Treatment-emergent adverse events were consistent with those of prior studies. There were no drug-drug interactions identified in participants who were utilizing a wide range of psychotropic and other concomitant medications, and participants generally remained psychiatrically stable throughout the study. About the KINECT® 4 Phase 3 Study KINECT 4 is a Phase 3, open-label study in which 163 participants with moderate to severe TD and underlying schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or mood disorder (including bipolar disorder or major depressive disorder) received 48 weeks of open-label treatment with once-daily INGREZZA (40 mg or 80 mg capsules) followed by a four-week washout. Dosing was initiated at 40 mg/day in all participants, with escalation to 80 mg/day at Week 4 based on effectiveness and tolerability. Dose reduction to 40 mg was allowed in participants who could not tolerate the 80 mg dose. Patients were discontinued if the new dose was not tolerated. Participants experienced TD improvements during long-term treatment as demonstrated by mean change from baseline to Week 48 in AIMS total score (sum of items 1-7, evaluated by site raters) with INGREZZA 40 mg/day (-10.2) or 80 mg/day (-11.0). Consistent with previous studies, INGREZZA was generally well tolerated. After Week 4, treatment-emergent adverse events that occurred in ≥5% of all participants (combined dose groups) were urinary tract infection (8.5%) and headache (5.2%). Changes from baseline in psychiatric stability, vital signs, electrocardiogram parameters and laboratory test values were generally small and not clinically significant.
