Research Excerpts

Overview

Valbenazine is a highly selective vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved for treatment of tardive dyskinesia. Its major active metabolite (NBI-98782) is a 45-fold more potent inhibitor of VMAT2 than the parent drug.

Toxicity

Valbenazine is about 15 times more likely to result in a response than in a discontinuation because of an adverse event. The most commonly reported treatment-emergent adverse event was somnolence.

Dosage Studied

Valbenazine (80 mg) was effective and safe over a long period, even in this atypical case of severe and rapid-onset TD. Valbenazine appears to have fewer side effects and a more favorable once-daily dosing regimen.
