Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an investigational compound designated PF-03654746 compared to placebo in the treatment of adults with Tourette's Syndrome. The study will also explore the pharmacokinetics of PF-03654746 in adults with Tourette's Syndrome.
Detailed description
The study was terminated 11-Apr-2012 due to an internal reassessment of priorities by the sponsor. The decision to terminate was not based on any safety or efficacy concerns.
Interventions
DRUGPF-03654746
20-day dose titration phase: all dosages in capsules starting at 0.25 mg qd x 5 d, then 0.5 mg qd x 5 d, then 1.0 mg qd x 5 d, then 2.0 mg qd x 5 d. If a subject has intolerable, severe, or serious AEs after taking 2 mg qd for 1 to 5 days of dosing, the dose will be decreased by the investigator to 1 mg qd. If, in the investigator's opinion, the subject is determined to be unlikely to tolerate continued dosing at a dose of 1 mg qd, the subject should be discontinued from the study. Subjects remaining in the study will proceed to the 3-week Stable Dosing Phase; doses will be 2 mg daily x 21 days or 1 mg daily x 21 days.
DRUGPlacebo
once daily dosing of placebo capsules following the dosing scheme described in 1.1.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in Total Tic Score (Yale Global Tic Severity Scale) from baseline (D0) to end of the 3 wk stable dosing phase (D41)(primary). Average of the 2 assessments of Total Tic Score in 3 wk stable dosing phase is secondary. Score 0-50 (50 = severe) | Period 1: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised. Total score greater than 8 require assessment by clinician or mental health professional skilled in evaluation of suicidality. | Up to 21 days prior to Baseline (Day 0) |
| Change in Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase. Items 1-10 have score range of 0-40; higher score is worse. | Period 1: Days 0, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 41 |
| Change in Clinical Global Impression of Improvement from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase (primary); average of 2 assessments during 3-wk stable dosing phase is 2ndary. Score 1-7; higher score is worse. | Period 1: Days 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 10, 20, 34, 41 |
| Change in Conners' Continuous Performance Test II from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase. Calculated T-scores (under 40 to 65 and over); higher score is worse. | Period 1: Days 0, 20, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 20, 41 |
| Change in Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase. | Screening; Period 1: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41 |
| Change in Tic Symptom Self Report from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase (primary); average of 2 assessments of TSSR during 3-wk stable dosing phase is 2ndary. Each symptom is scored 0-3; higher score is worse. | Period 1: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41 |
| Change in Premonitory Urge for Tic Scale from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase (primary); average of 2 assessments of PUTS during 3-wk stable dosing phase is 2ndary. Score 9-36; higher score is worse. | Period 1: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41 |
| Change in Clinical Global Impression of Severity from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase. Score 1-7; higher scores indicate more severity. | Period 1, Days 0, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 41 |
| Change in Medical Outcomes Study--Sleep Scale from baseline to end of 3-wk stable dosing phase. Score 0-100; a higher score reflect greater amount of quality implied by subscale name. | Period 1: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41; Period 2: Days 0, 10, 20, 34, 41 |
