Proof-of-concept study testing bevantolol (SOM3355) as treatment of chorea in Huntington’s disease
Objective: Proof-of-concept phase IIa study assessing bevantolol (SOM3355) efficacy and safety in reducing chorea in Huntington’s disease (HD). Background: Bevantolol hydrochloride, a β1‐adrenoceptor antagonist used…The effects of acute administration of VMAT2 inhibitors on extracellular levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, 5-HT and histamine in the striatum and medial prefrontal cortex
Objective: To evaluate the effects of reversible VMAT2 inhibitors (deutetrabenazine, tetrabenazine and valbenazine) on extracellular levels of monoamines and their acidic metabolites in rat striatum…VMAT2 OVEREXPRESSION REDUCES INTRACELLULAR NEUROMELANIN LEVELS AND ATTENUATES PARKINSON-LIKE PATHOLOGY IN NEUROMELANIN-PRODUCING PARKINSONIAN RATS
Objective: Because neuromelanin derives from the oxidation of free cytosolic dopamine, we hypothesized that enhancing dopamine vesicular encapsulation with vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) will…VMAT2 availability in Parkinson’s Disease with Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behaviour Disorder
Objective: To use [11C]DTBZ PET imaging to explore vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) availability in Parkinson’s disease (PD) with and without rapid eye movement sleep…Patient Perspective of Tardive Dyskinesia: Results from a Social Media Listening Study
Objective: To use social media listening (SML) to understand the impact of symptoms on patients with assumed/self-reported tardive dyskinesia (TD). Background: TD is a persistent…Real-World Use and Impact of VMAT2 Inhibitors in Patients with Tardive Dyskinesia
Objective: To describe symptom impact and treatment outcomes in patients prescribed vesicular monoamine 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD). Background: TD,…Evaluation of the Safety of Deutetrabenazine at Higher Doses to Treat Chorea in Huntington’s Disease
Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of deutetrabenazine >48 mg/d compared to ≤48 mg/d to treat Huntington’s disease (HD)–associated chorea in ARC-HD. Background: In…VMAT 2 inhibitor and Antipsychotic use in Individuals with Huntington’s Disease
Objective: To retrospectively investigate whether the concomitant use of VMAT2 inhibitors and antipsychotics in individuals with Huntington's disease (HD) is associated with an increased occurrence…Association between motor symptoms and striatal VMAT2 binding in PD: a PET study
Objective: In this study, we investigate the association between motor symptoms and striatal vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2) binding using 18F-FP-DTBZ PET in PD…Utility of VMAT2 inhibitors in management of stereotypy in children: a series of six patients
Objective: We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of VMAT2 inhibitors in the treatment of stereotypy. Background: Stereotypies are continual, rhythmic, patterned movements that can occur in typically-developing children, and are…
