Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic, and Efficacy Study of AZD5213 in Adolescents With Tourette's Disorder

Completed · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Tourette Syndrome

In brief

This is a two-part, randomized, multi-center, blinded study in adolescents with Tourette's Disorder. There will be an up to 21-day screening period in which subject eligibility will be determined. In Part 1 of the study, the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AZD5213 will be assessed during a 1- week period. In Part 2 of the study, the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of two doses (depending on tolerability in Part 1 of the study) of AZD5213 and placebo will be assessed through six consecutive four-week crossover periods. Each subject will receive both AZD5213 and placebo. A follow-up vist will take place at 14 (±) 7 days following the last dose of study drug.
