Abstract
Background: Dystonia may respond to VMAT2 inhibition.
Objectives: Providing pilot data on the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of deutetrabenazine in non dopa-responsive dystonia.
Methods: Deutetrabenazine was titrated by adults with isolated dystonia. Primary study endpoints included the proportion who maintained the individual, maximum tolerated dose for 6 weeks, and how many titrated to 48 mg/day. Secondary endpoints included rates of QTc prolongation/arrhythmias, suicidality, excessive daytime sleepiness, cognitive decline, and drug-induced parkinsonism. Exploratory endpoints for clinical efficacy were assessed.
Results: Among 15 participants, four (26.7%) withdrew early and six (40%) titrated to 48 mg/day. Common adverse events included fatigue and diarrhea. Secondary safety endpoints did not change significantly, but MDS-UPDRS III scores worsened by ≥3 points in seven participants (46.7%). PGI-C and the blinded CGI-C and GDS improved in three women with blepharospasm.
Conclusions: Most participants tolerated deutetrabenazine for 6 weeks, and those with blepharospasm may have benefitted from its use.

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice- is an online-only journal committed to publishing high quality peer reviewed articles related to clinical aspects of movement disorders which broadly include phenomenology (interesting case/case series/rarities), investigative (for e.g- genetics, imaging), translational (phenotype-genotype or other) and treatment aspects (clinical guidelines, diagnostic and treatment algorithms)
