Neurocrine Biosciences possesses profound expertise and a track record in the realm of VMAT2 inhibition, as indicated by the creation and progression of valbenazine as a remedy for the involuntary movements related to tardive dyskinesia as well as Huntington’s disease-associated chorea, declared Eiry W. Roberts, Chief Medical Officer at the organization.
Dr. Roberts further articulated enthusiasm for the advancement of a novel, proprietary, excessively active, and orally administered selective VMAT2 inhibitor to clinical trials, with aspirations to offer a unique therapeutic option for various neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Compounds that impede VMAT2 have been demonstrated in clinical settings to be efficacious in managing disorders characterized by excessive motor activity, and are significant in the presynaptic regulation of dopamine. In 2017, Neurocrine successfully gained authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for valbenazine as the premier medication fashioned specifically for the management of tardive dyskinesia, substantiating the company’s leadership in selective VMAT2 inhibition. Furthering its achievements, the firm acquired FDA endorsement for valbenazine to address chorea manifestations of Huntington’s disease in 2023.
