Change From Randomization (Week 8) in Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) Dyskinesia Total Score at Week 16 Primary · Week 8, Week 16

The AIMS rates 10 items of involuntary movement, each item ranging from 0 (no dyskinesia) to 4 (severe dyskinesia). Items assess facial, oral, extremity, and trunk movements, as well as self-awareness of abnormal movements. The AIMS Dyskinesia Total Score is the sum of items 1-7 and ranges from 0 to 28, with higher scores indicating more severe dyskinesia. Least-squares mean were estimated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures.

Change From Baseline in the EuroQol 5 Dimensions 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Health State Index Score at Week 16 Secondary · Baseline, Week 16

The EQ-5D-5L assesses general health-related quality of life. Health is defined in 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. The health state index score is based on the results of the individual health profiles using the United States value set and ranges from -0.573 to 1.0, with higher scores indicating higher health utility.

Change From Baseline in the EuroQol 5 Dimensions 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at Week 16 Secondary · Baseline, Week 16

The EQ-5D-5L assesses general health-related quality of life. The second portion of the scale is a self-perceived health score assessed using a VAS that ranges from 0 ("the worst imaginable health") to 100 ("the best imaginable health").
