Neurocrine Biosciences Presents New Clinically Meaningful Response Data on Treatment of Tardive Dyskinesia, Reinforcing the Efficacy of INGREZZA® (valbenazine) Capsules Across a Broad Range of PatientsJune 8, 2026 4:05 PM
PR Newswire (US) New 48-week KINECT® 4 post-hoc analysis shows 94% of participants treated with INGREZZA achieved either symptomatic remission or a clinically meaningful response (≥30% reduction from baseline in Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale total score); INGREZZA is the only vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor to demonstrate clinical remission in clinical trialsA separate claims analysis indicates high prevalence of hepatic risk factors among patients with tardive dyskinesia; INGREZZA is the only VMAT2 inhibitor with approved dosing in hepatic impairmentTogether, these data add to a growing body of evidence supporting the potential of INGREZZA to provide clinically meaningful therapeutic benefits to a wide range of patients with tardive dyskinesiaSAN DIEGO, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced new post-hoc data from the KINECT® 4 clinical trial demonstrating that adults with tardive dyskinesia (TD) treated with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules experienced clinically meaningful and robust improvements in involuntary movement severity, including those who did not meet the stringent symptomatic remission threshold. These results, together with findings from a large retrospective Medicare claims analysis evaluating hepatic risk factors among patients newly diagnosed with TD, were presented at the 2026 Psych Congress Elevate in Las Vegas. Previously presented data from the 48-week KINECT 4 study showed that 59% (61/103) of patients treated with once-daily INGREZZA achieved the stringent threshold for TD symptomatic remission, defined as an Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) item score of 0 ("none") or 1 ("minimal movements") in each of the seven body regions. Symptomatic remission was achieved across TD movement severity subgroups, including 63% (38/60) of patients with moderate TD and 54% (23/43) of patients with severe TD. A new post-hoc analysis further demonstrated that clinically meaningful improvements were observed even among patients who did not meet the more stringent symptomatic remission threshold. Among the 41% of patients (42/103) who did not meet the symptomatic remission threshold at Week 48, 86% (36/42) achieved ≥30% total AIMS score reduction (characterized by the authors as clinically meaningful), and 67% (28/42) achieved ≥50% reduction."Treatment goals for tardive dyskinesia include achieving both meaningful reductions in movement severity and, when possible, reaching symptomatic remission, a stringent threshold characterized by absent or minimal involuntary movements across all seven body regions," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "This new analysis demonstrates that approximately 94% of patients treated with INGREZZA for 48 weeks either achieved symptomatic remission or experienced clinically meaningful reductions in their tardive dyskinesia movements. Notably, the benefits of treatment extended beyond patients who reached the stringent remission threshold, reinforcing the broad clinical impact of INGREZZA."Claims Analysis Underscores Importance of Evaluating Hepatic Risk Factors in TD Treatment DecisionsA separate retrospective Medicare claims analysis of more than 176,000 patients newly diagnosed with TD found that 90% of patients had at least one hepatic risk factor and 44% had three or more. Selected hepatic risk factors included metabolic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity, in addition to substance use-related factors, such as alcohol or drug abuse, are associated with chronic liver disease or hepatic impairment. These findings highlight the importance of evaluating hepatic risk factors when making individualized treatment decisions for TD, as chronic liver disease may progress without noticeable symptoms, and hepatic impairment may go unrecognized, particularly in mild cases. INGREZZA is the only vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor with approved dosing for patients with TD and coexisting hepatic impairment.Additional presentations at the 2026 Psych Congress Elevate included: Evidence-Based Recommendations for Treating Tardive Dyskinesia with a Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 InhibitorClinically Meaningful Improvements and Symptomatic Remission with Once-Daily Valbenazine in Adults with Tardive DyskinesiaPatients Taking Once-Daily Valbenazine Report Improved Quality of Life/Functionality and Experience Remission of Tardive Dyskinesia Symptoms with Once-Daily Valbenazine: Findings From KINECT-PROOnce-Daily Valbenazine Demonstrates Greater and More Predictable Exposure Than Deutetrabenazine Extended-Release: Results from a Positron Emission Tomography Study in Healthy Male AdultsCharacterizing Hepatic Risk Factors Among Medicare Patients with Tardive DyskinesiaAbout the KINECT 4 Phase 3 Study
KINECT 4 is a Phase 3, open-label study in which 163 participants with moderate to severe TD and underlying schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or mood disorder (including bipolar disorder or major depressive disorder) received 48 weeks of open-label treatment with once-daily INGREZZA (40 mg or 80 mg capsules) followed by a four-week washout. Dosing was initiated at 40 mg/day in all participants, with escalation to 80 mg/day at Week 4 based on effectiveness and tolerability. Dose reduction to 40 mg was allowed in participants who could not tolerate the 80 mg dose. Patients were discontinued if the new dose was not tolerated.Participants experienced TD improvements during long-term treatment as demonstrated by mean change from baseline to Week 48 in AIMS total score (sum of items 1-7, evaluated by site raters) with INGREZZA 40 mg/day (-10.2) or 80 mg/day (-11.0). Consistent with previous studies, INGREZZA was generally well tolerated. After Week 4, treatment-emergent adverse events that occurred in ≥5% of all participants (combined dose groups) were urinary tract infection (8.5%) and headache (5.2%). Changes from baseline in psychiatric stability, vital signs, electrocardiogram parameters and laboratory test values were generally small and not clinically significant.About Tardive Dyskinesia 
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a movement disorder that is characterized by uncontrolled, abnormal and repetitive movements of the face, torso and/or other body parts, which may be disruptive and negatively impact patients. The condition is associated with taking certain kinds of mental health medicines (antipsychotics) that help control dopamine receptors in the brain. Taking antipsychotics commonly prescribed to treat mental illnesses such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and other prescription medicines (metoclopramide and prochlorperazine) used to treat gastrointestinal disorders are associated with TD. In patients with TD, these treatments are thought to result in irregular dopamine signaling in a region of the brain that controls movement. The symptoms of TD can be mild to severe and are often persistent and irreversible. TD is estimated to affect at least 800,000 adults in the U.S.About INGREZZA® (valbenazine) Capsules and INGREZZA® SPRINKLE (valbenazine) Capsules 
INGREZZA is a selective vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adults with tardive dyskinesia and the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD). Only INGREZZA offers a therapeutic dose from day one with no required titration. INGREZZA, developed by Neurocrine Biosciences, selectively inhibits VMAT2 with no appreciable binding affinity for VMAT1, dopaminergic (including D2), serotonergic, adrenergic, histaminergic or muscarinic receptors. While the specific way INGREZZA works to treat TD and HD chorea is not fully understood, INGREZZA is unique in that it selectively and specifically targets VMAT2 to inhibit the release of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that helps control movement. INGREZZA is believed to reduce extra dopamine signaling, which may lead to fewer uncontrollable movements. INGREZZA is studied across the widest range of patients. It is always one capsule, once daily and can be taken together with most stable mental health regimens such as antipsychotics or antidepressants. Only INGREZZA offers the benefit of a sprinkle formulation, INGREZZA SPRINKLE, for those who experience dysphagia, have difficulty swallowing or prefer not to swallow a pill. INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE dosages approved for use are 40 mg, 60 mg and 80 mg capsules. Important Information Approved Uses

Neurocrine Biosciences Presents New Data Highlighting Functional and Socio-emotional Improvements with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) Capsules in Individuals with Tardive Dyskinesia and Intellectual and Developmental DisabilitiesJune 8, 2026 8:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) Nearly all individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities experienced improvement in tardive dyskinesia severity after starting INGREZZA, and of those, 89% experienced improvement within 4 weeks Clinician-reported data showed improvements in key aspects of daily life following INGREZZA treatment in nearly all patients with tardive dyskinesia and intellectual and developmental disabilities who had impaired functionSAN DIEGO, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced new clinician-reported data in patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities demonstrating meaningful and rapid improvements in tardive dyskinesia severity, as well as improvements in overall functional status, including physical and socio-emotional outcomes, with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules. The findings were presented at the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry's 24th Annual Education Conference in Dallas. These data highlight the significant burden associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD) in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as the rapid clinician-reported improvements seen in TD movements following treatment with INGREZZA. Clinicians also observed functional gains across multiple areas of daily living, including social and emotional well-being, communication abilities and motor skills, such as hand coordination."People with intellectual and developmental disabilities are at increased risk for tardive dyskinesia due to long-term antipsychotic use, yet the condition often goes underdiagnosed and its impact underrecognized," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "The clinician-reported improvements observed in this analysis complement patient-reported outcomes from the KINECT-PRO study, further highlighting the potential of INGREZZA to make a meaningful difference in areas that matter most to people living with tardive dyskinesia. This analysis, which is the first and only of its kind, also reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing studies that better represent and serve the diverse populations affected by the condition."This analysis was based on clinician-reported data from patients who initiated INGREZZA between January and June 2024, completed at least two months of treatment and had at least one follow-up visit, including a subgroup of 30 individuals with reported intellectual and developmental disabilities (mean age: 47.3 years; standard deviation: 14.6). The most common psychiatric comorbidities in this subgroup were schizophrenia (70%) and mood disorders (17%). Clinicians also reported that 70% of individuals had moderate or severe TD movement severity at baseline.Nearly all individuals experienced reductions in TD symptoms, with 89% (25/28) demonstrating improvement within four weeks of treatment initiation. Clinicians reported substantial burden associated with TD at baseline, with functional status and independence negatively impacted in 90% of individuals in the study due to their TD symptoms. Following treatment with INGREZZA, clinicians reported improvement in overall functional status in 96% of study participants with impaired function, as well as broad improvements across key aspects of daily life.OutcomeBaseline: % Patients

Following treatment with INGREZZA, patients experienced reduced TD movements, accompanied by improvements in daily functioning, demeanor and social and caregiver interactions. The present analysis extends those findings, emphasizing the need to recognize the burden of TD beyond uncontrolled movements, including functional and socio-emotional outcomes that are especially meaningful for patients with intellectual and development disabilities, as well as their families and care partners.Additional presentation at the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry's 24th Annual Education Conference included: Use and Misuse of Anticholinergics for Drug Induced Movement DisordersAbout Tardive Dyskinesia 
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a movement disorder that is characterized by uncontrolled, abnormal and repetitive movements of the face, torso and/or other body parts, which may be disruptive and negatively impact patients. The condition is associated with taking certain kinds of mental health medicines (antipsychotics) that help control dopamine receptors in the brain. Taking antipsychotics commonly prescribed to treat mental illnesses such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and other prescription medicines (metoclopramide and prochlorperazine) used to treat gastrointestinal disorders are associated with TD. In patients with TD, these treatments are thought to result in irregular dopamine signaling in a region of the brain that controls movement. The symptoms of TD can be mild to severe and are often persistent and irreversible. TD is estimated to affect at least 800,000 adults in the U.S. About the KINECT-PRO™ Phase 4 Study
The KINECT-PRO™ Phase 4, open-label study was designed to evaluate patient-reported outcomes on the use of INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules in a tardive dyskinesia (TD) patient population reflective of real-world clinical practice. Participants had at least mild TD, were aware of and experiencing at least mild distress from their abnormal, involuntary movements and had a clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder or major depression. The KINECT-PRO study included a four-week screening period, a 24-week treatment period during which participants received 40 mg of INGREZZA once-daily for the first four weeks, followed by flexible dosing of 40 mg, 60 mg or 80 mg once-daily based on individual treatment needs and a two-week safety follow-up period. Baseline socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the participants were broadly similar to those of the KINECT® 3 and KINECT® 4 studies.KINECT-PRO is the first and only study to specifically evaluate and demonstrate patient-reported improvement with vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor treatment on TD using multiple clinically validated scales, including the Tardive Dyskinesia Impact Scale (TDIS™). The TDIS is the only patient-reported outcome instrument designed for and validated in tardive dyskinesia patients that measures the physical, social and emotional impact of the involuntary movements of the condition.About INGREZZA® (valbenazine) Capsules and INGREZZA® SPRINKLE (valbenazine) Capsules

Neurocrine Biosciences Presents Real-World Data Highlighting Functional Impact of Mild Tardive Dyskinesia Severity and Improvement with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) CapsulesMay 18, 2026 4:05 PM
PR Newswire (US) Clinician survey showed 90% of patients with mild tardive dyskinesia experienced emotional, social or physical impairmentFollowing initiation of INGREZZA, 96% of patients with mild tardive dyskinesia showed clinician-reported improvement in uncontrolled movements; of those patients, 86% improved within 4 weeksReductions in involuntary movements with INGREZZA treatment were associated with improvements in overall functional status, independence, activities of daily living and ability to workSAN DIEGO, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced the presentation of new data from a clinician survey highlighting the functional impact experienced by patients with mild tardive dyskinesia (TD) severity and the impact of treatment with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules in a real-world setting. In a subgroup analysis, nearly all patients with clinician-reported mild TD treated with INGREZZA experienced fewer uncontrolled movements, with most demonstrating symptom improvement within four weeks. Patients also showed widespread improvements in functional status, independence, ability to perform daily activities and ability to work. The findings are being presented at the American Psychiatric Association 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place May 16-20 in San Francisco. "A growing body of evidence shows that even tardive dyskinesia identified as mild in severity can meaningfully disrupt patients' daily functioning, impacting their physical, social and emotional well-being," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "These real-world results complement previously published patient-reported data highlighting both the functional impact of mild involuntary movements and the potential benefits of INGREZZA treatment. INGREZZA has been shown to improve tardive dyskinesia and associated functional outcomes that can help patients reclaim their independence and resume everyday activities."The analysis was based on a previously conducted clinician survey of patient chart data and clinician recall evaluating TD symptoms, functional impairment and improvement following treatment with INGREZZA. The survey included adult patients with TD who initiated INGREZZA between January 1, 2024 and June 30, 2024, completed at least two months of treatment and had at least one follow-up visit. In total, 128 clinicians caring for 315 patients with TD on INGREZZA reported data.This analysis focused on a subgroup of patients (n=90) with mild movement severity as rated by clinicians using global severity categories aligned with the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale. Prior to treatment, clinicians reported that mild TD movements impacted functional status in 90% of patients and independence in 84% of patients, with commonly affected areas including emotional (88%), social (86%), speech (61%), dexterity (60%) and eating (56%) functions.Following the initiation of INGREZZA, nearly all patients (96%) with mild TD experienced clinician-reported improvements in uncontrolled movements. Of those patients, 86% improved in four weeks or less. Beyond improvements in uncontrolled movements, clinicians observed meaningful functional improvements across a range of daily life domains among patients with mild TD:For patients with impacted functional status (n=81), almost all (96%) had improvement in overall functional status.Across all functional items, clinicians reported improvement in more than 90% of impacted patients, including those with impacted speech (n=55), dexterity (n=54), social status (n=77), emotional status (n=79) and activities of daily living, such as eating (n=50) and self-care (n=44).Among all patients, 83% (n=75/90) achieved improvement in independence with treatment.Among patients who were employed or attending school, 70% (n=21/30) experienced improved willingness or ability to work or attend school after initiating treatment.Findings from this survey and subpopulation analysis support the American Psychiatric Association clinical guidelines, which state that treatment with a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor can be considered for patients with mild TD based on associated impairment or patient preference. This research adds to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the benefits of INGREZZA in patients with TD, including those with mild movements. In clinical studies, including the Phase 4 KINECT-PRO™ study, INGREZZA has been shown to improve TD severity and patients have reported reductions in the physical, social and emotional burden of the condition. Together, these real-world and clinical data highlight the potential of INGREZZA to improve movements and associated functional outcomes in patients with TD, including those with mild involuntary movements prior to treatment.About Tardive Dyskinesia 
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a movement disorder that is characterized by uncontrolled, abnormal and repetitive movements of the face, torso and/or other body parts, which may be disruptive and negatively impact patients. The condition is associated with taking certain kinds of mental health medicines (antipsychotics) that help control dopamine receptors in the brain. Taking antipsychotics commonly prescribed to treat mental illnesses such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and other prescription medicines (metoclopramide and prochlorperazine) used to treat gastrointestinal disorders are associated with TD. In patients with TD, these treatments are thought to result in irregular dopamine signaling in a region of the brain that controls movement. The symptoms of TD can be mild to severe and are often persistent and irreversible. TD is estimated to affect at least 800,000 adults in the U.S.  About the KINECT-PRO™ Phase 4 Study The KINECT-PRO™ Phase 4, open-label study was designed to evaluate patient-reported outcomes on the use of INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules in a tardive dyskinesia (TD) patient population reflective of real-world clinical practice. Participants had at least mild TD, were aware of and experiencing at least mild distress from their abnormal, involuntary movements and had a clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder or major depression. The KINECT-PRO study included a four-week screening period, a 24-week treatment period during which participants received 40 mg of INGREZZA once-daily for the first four weeks, followed by flexible dosing of 40 mg, 60 mg or 80 mg once-daily based on individual treatment needs and a two-week safety follow-up period. Baseline socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the participants were broadly similar to those of the KINECT® 3 and KINECT® 4 studies. KINECT-PRO is the first and only study to specifically evaluate and demonstrate patient-reported improvement with vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor treatment on TD using multiple clinically validated scales, including the Tardive Dyskinesia Impact Scale (TDIS™). The TDIS is the only patient-reported outcome instrument designed for and validated in tardive dyskinesia patients that measures the physical, social and emotional impact of the involuntary movements of the condition. About INGREZZA® (valbenazine) Capsules and INGREZZA® SPRINKLE (valbenazine) Capsules 
INGREZZA is a selective vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adults with tardive dyskinesia and the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD). Only INGREZZA offers a therapeutic dose from day one with no required titration.  INGREZZA, developed by Neurocrine Biosciences, selectively inhibits VMAT2 with no appreciable binding affinity for VMAT1, dopaminergic (including D2), serotonergic, adrenergic, histaminergic or muscarinic receptors. While the specific way INGREZZA works to treat TD and HD chorea is not fully understood, INGREZZA is unique in that it selectively and specifically targets VMAT2 to inhibit the release of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that helps control movement. INGREZZA is believed to reduce extra dopamine signaling, which may lead to fewer uncontrollable movements.  INGREZZA is studied across the widest range of patients. It is always one capsule, once daily and can be taken together with most stable mental health regimens such as antipsychotics or antidepressants. Only INGREZZA offers the benefit of a sprinkle formulation, INGREZZA SPRINKLE, for those who experience dysphagia, have difficulty swallowing or prefer not to swallow a pill. INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE dosages approved for use are 40 mg, 60 mg and 80 mg capsules.  Important Information Approved Uses

PR Newswire (US) Strengthens Neurocrine's rare disease portfolio with VYKAT™ XR, the first and only approved treatment for hyperphagia in Prader-Willi syndromeAdds recently launched therapy with strong early adoption and meaningful commercial potentialSAN DIEGO, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced the completion of its acquisition of Soleno Therapeutics, Inc., strengthening the company's leadership in endocrinology and rare disease. The acquisition adds VYKAT™ XR (diazoxide choline) tablets, the first and only approved medicine for hyperphagia in adults and pediatric patients 4 years of age and older with Prader-Willi syndrome, to Neurocrine's first-in-class commercial portfolio alongside INGREZZA® (valbenazine) and CRENESSITY® (crinecerfont). "Today marks an important advancement in Neurocrine's mission to deliver life-changing treatments for patients with significant unmet needs," said Kyle W. Gano, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "We welcome our Soleno colleagues to Neurocrine and share their deep commitment to the Prader-Willi syndrome community, and we look forward to working together to make VYKAT XR available to more patients and their families."Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an abnormality in gene expression on chromosome 15 that affects about 10,000 patients in the United States. The disease is characterized by neurological, behavioral, and metabolic dysfunction. Its defining feature is hyperphagia, a chronic, life-threatening condition marked by a persistent hunger that drives compulsive food-seeking behavior. Individuals with PWS also commonly experience cognitive impairment and a range of psychiatric and behavioral challenges. Together, these symptoms can severely diminish quality of life for individuals with PWS and their families, with hyperphagia driving significant morbidity and mortality.Neurocrine initially announced the transaction – representing a total equity value of $2.9 billion – on April 6, 2026.Transaction Details
Neurocrine completed the cash tender offer through a subsidiary for all the outstanding shares of common stock of Soleno at a purchase price of $53.00 per share, without interest, subject to any applicable withholding taxes.As of the tender offer expiration at one minute after 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 15, 2026, 46,356,114 shares of Soleno common stock were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 88.9% of the total number of Soleno's issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of such date and time. In accordance with the terms of the tender offer, all such shares have been accepted for payment.Following its acceptance of the tendered shares, Neurocrine completed its acquisition of Soleno through the merger of a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Neurocrine with and into Soleno, pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law on May 18, 2026, with Soleno continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Neurocrine. All remaining shares of Soleno common stock that were not validly tendered in the tender offer were converted into the right to receive the same $53 per share in cash, without interest, subject to any applicable withholding taxes, that would have been paid had such shares been validly tendered in the tender offer. As of May 18, 2026, Soleno's common stock will no longer be listed or traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.Advisors

LLC served as exclusive financial advisor, and Cooley LLP served as legal advisor to Neurocrine. Centerview Partners LLC and Guggenheim Securities, LLC served as financial advisors, and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation served as legal counsel to Soleno.About PWS
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an abnormality in gene expression on chromosome 15. The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association USA estimates that PWS occurs in one in every 15,000 live births. The defining symptom of PWS is hyperphagia, a chronic and life-threatening condition characterized by an intense persistent sensation of hunger accompanied by food preoccupations, an extreme drive to consume food, food-related behavior problems, and a lack of normal satiety, which can severely diminish the quality of life for individuals with PWS and their families. Hyperphagia can lead to significant mortality (e.g., stomach rupture, choking, accidental death due to food-seeking behavior) and longer-term comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.About INGREZZA® (valbenazine)

(Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced the initiation of a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical study evaluating the safety and tolerability of NBIP-'2118 in adult participants. NBIP-'2118 is an investigational corticotropin-releasing factor type 2 receptor (CRF2) peptide agonist and a potential first-in-class therapy for obesity.







"This program represents an important step in applying Neurocrine's expertise in CRF biology to treat metabolic disease," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "CRF2 agonism is a promising and differentiated mechanism with the potential to address key limitations of existing therapies, including the loss of lean mass during weight reduction. We believe this program could play a meaningful role as both a standalone therapy and in combination with other mechanisms, including incretin-based approaches."The Phase 1 study initially will evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of NBIP-'2118 compared to placebo in healthy-weight adult participants, as well as those who are overweight or obese. Initial data is expected in 2027.NBIP-'2118 is an internally discovered and investigational CRF2 peptide agonist designed for once-weekly subcutaneous administration. In preclinical models, NBIP-'2118 demonstrated high selectivity and potency, with weight loss primarily driven by fat reduction while preserving or increasing lean mass, including skeletal muscle. By targeting CRF2 to both reduce fat and preserve muscle, NBIP-'2118 could be particularly beneficial for patients at risk of muscle loss with a differentiated profile from existing therapies which often attribute a significant proportion of weight loss to lean mass.Neurocrine's integrated obesity strategy includes multiple programs in preclinical development. NBIP-'1968 is an internally discovered, investigational triple agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors and is intended for use in combination with NBIP-'2118, with the goal of achieving greater weight loss while maintaining muscle-sparing benefits. Neurocrine is also advancing a single-molecule incretin mimetic-CRF2 agonist conjugate. In addition, Neurocrine is developing a long-acting triple-agonist (targeting GLP-1, GIP, glucagon receptors) conjugated to an antibody Fc domain to extend half-life and potentially enable once-monthly or even less frequent dosing.About Obesity
Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by excess body fat and is associated with serious health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. It is driven by complex biological, environmental, and genetic factors – not simply lifestyle or willpower. Obesity has reached epidemic levels globally, affecting a significant portion of adults and placing a substantial burden on public health systems. Despite recent advances in treatment, there remains a need for additional therapies that support safe, effective and sustainable long-term weight management.About Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc.

Neurocrine Biosciences Presents New Two-Year CRENESSITY® (crinecerfont) Data Demonstrating Durable Hormone Control, Reduced Glucocorticoid Exposure and Meaningful Clinical Improvements in Pediatric Patients with Classic Congenital Adrenal HyperplasiaMay 1, 2026 4:05 PM
PR Newswire (US)

At two years, 60% of patients who were overweight or obese at baseline experienced clinically meaningful improvements in body mass index, and 61% of those with insulin resistance at baseline were no longer insulin resistantImproved outcomes associated with excess androgens, including acne and androstenedione-to-testosterone ratio were also observedCRENESSITY delivered sustained reductions in adrenocorticotropic hormone and 17-hydroxyprogesterone, while enabling lower, more physiologic glucocorticoid dosingSAN DIEGO, May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced the presentation of new two-year data from the Phase 3 CAHtalyst® Pediatric study demonstrating durable androgen control, sustained decreases in glucocorticoid (GC) doses and meaningful improvements in clinical outcomes associated with excess androgens and long-term GC exposure in children and adolescents with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia treated with CRENESSITY® (crinecerfont).







Consistent with these findings, patients with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) continued to experience substantial reductions in adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) while achieving lower, more physiologic GC doses. These data build upon previously reported one-year clinical outcomes results and were presented at the Pediatric Endocrine Society 2026 Annual Meeting in San Francisco."These two-year findings showed that CRENESSITY achieved durable reductions in both androgen levels and glucocorticoid doses in children and adolescents with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a population particularly vulnerable to the long-term health impact of excess hormone exposure during growth and development," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "Improved hormonal control was associated with meaningful improvements in clinical outcomes, including body mass index and insulin resistance, supporting healthier outcomes as patients transition into adulthood."These findings highlight the broader clinical implications of improved hormonal control and reduced GC exposure in pediatric patients with classic CAH.The analysis included 86 participants aged four to 17 years who completed up to two years of CRENESSITY treatment in the open-label extension of the CAHtalyst Pediatric study. Mean changes from baseline in key hormonal markers, including ACTH and 17-OHP, measured prior to the morning GC dose, were reported through Month 24.ACTH and 17-OHP Reductions
Meaningful and durable reductions in mean ACTH and 17-OHP were observed at 12 months, with further reductions observed at 24 months, despite sustained decreases in GC doses during the same period.MeasureBaselineChange from

This, along with chronic supraphysiologic glucocorticoid exposure, can impact cardiometabolic health and quality of life in patients with CAH," said Mimi Kim, M.D., MSc, Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Principal Investigator for CAHtalyst Pediatric. "These findings underscore the potential for CRENESSITY to redefine the treatment paradigm for patients with CAH by providing sustained control of androgens and allowing for significant reductions in glucocorticoid dosing – this could ultimately lead to important improvements in key long-term patient outcomes."Hormone Control and Excess Androgen OutcomesAmong patients with acne at baseline (visual analog scale [VAS] score >0; range 0-100; mean baseline score: 25.4 mm; n=58), mean acne severity decreased by 6.5 mm at Month 12 (n=52) and by 11.0 mm at Month 24 (n=43), indicating progressive improvement over time.In female participants with a baseline hirsutism VAS score >0 (mean baseline score: 27.3 mm; n=29), mean hirsutism scores were largely stable over two years, with a mean change of -6.3 mm at Month 12 (n=27) and +2.4 mm at Month 24 (n=21), despite lower GC doses and continued pubertal stage progression.Among male participants Tanner stage 2 or above with an androstenedione-to-testosterone (A4/T) ratio ≥0.5 at baseline (n=32), 31% (9/29) and 36% (9/25) achieved an A4/T ratio

PR Newswire (US)

Approximately 70% of adult patients treated with CRENESSITY achieved and sustained physiologic-range glucocorticoid dosing at two years75% of patients originally taking dexamethasone transitioned off this treatment, enabling a more physiologic glucocorticoid regimen without compromising androgen controlFindings reinforce durable efficacy and a favorable long-term safety profile in largest interventional trial to date conducted in classic congenital adrenal hyperplasiaSAN DIEGO, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced the first presentation of new two-year data from the Phase 3 CAHtalyst® Adult study demonstrating sustained, substantial reductions in glucocorticoid (GC) doses in adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia treated with CRENESSITY® (crinecerfont), with approximately 70% of patients achieving GC doses within the physiologic range. These data build upon previously reported one-year results and were presented at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology 2026 Annual Meeting in Las Vegas.







Chronic exposure to supraphysiologic GC doses is associated with cardiometabolic comorbidities, bone density reductions, mental health issues and other long-term health risks that contribute to the cumulative treatment burden faced by patients over their lifetimes. Reducing high-dose, long-term GC exposure represents one of the most important goals in the management of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)."For decades, the management of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia has relied exclusively on supraphysiologic glucocorticoid dosing to control adrenal androgen and adrenocorticotropic hormone excess, exposing patients to significant cumulative long-term risks," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "These two-year findings demonstrated that CRENESSITY provided durable androgen control while enabling meaningful reductions in glucocorticoid exposure. Importantly, these reductions were sustained over time without new safety or tolerability concerns, supporting CRENESSITY as a long-term treatment option that advances the standard of care for people living with this complex condition."At Month 24 of the study, 69% (103/149) of participants achieved a physiologic GC dose (≤11 mg/m2/day hydrocortisone equivalents), with many participants eliminating nonphysiologic GC types. Of participants originally taking dexamethasone (n=20), 75% switched to a dexamethasone-free regimen, while 62% (37/60) of patients taking more than two doses of hydrocortisone per day were able to eliminate a dose outright. GC dose reductions and regimen changes were achieved without worsening androstenedione levels relative to baseline, indicating that lowering the GC dose was not achieved at the expense of androgen control.Measure Baseline Month 18 Month 24 Mean daily GC dose (mg/m²/day HCe*), observed 17.610.610.6Mean % change from baseline in GC dose, observed —-38 %-38 %Participants achieving physiologic GC dose(≤11mg/m²/day HCe*), n/N (%) 0/182 (0%) 114/161(71%) 103/149 (69%) *HCe denotes hydrocortisone equivalents.Long-term treatment with CRENESSITY was generally well tolerated, with more than 80% study retention at two years and no new safety signals observed."Many years of supraphysiologic glucocorticoid exposure increase the risk for long-term health consequences, which include obesity, diabetes, reduced bone density and psychosocial struggles," said Richard J. Auchus, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Internal Medicine and Pharmacology, University of Michigan Medical School and Principal Investigator for the CAHtalyst Adult study. "These sequelae significantly impact quality of life and commonly develop with traditional CAH treatment regimens. The two-year findings provide important information on the durable benefit of treatment with CRENESSITY. Providers can confidently incorporate this additional knowledge to guide their management of adult patients with CAH into the future."Neurocrine will be sharing additional two-year data across clinical endpoints and outcomes at upcoming medical meetings.Additional presentation at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology 2026 Annual Meeting includes: Cardiometabolic Outcomes Associated with Chronic Supraphysiologic Glucocorticoid Exposure and Crinecerfont Treatment: 1-Year Results from CAHtalyst AdultAbout Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia 
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a rare genetic condition that results in an enzyme deficiency that alters the production of adrenal steroid hormones, such as cortisol, aldosterone and adrenal androgens. Severe enzyme deficiency leads to an inability of the adrenal glands to produce enough cortisol and, in approximately 75% of cases, aldosterone. Because individuals with CAH are typically still able to produce androgens, the unused precursors that would normally be used to make cortisol instead result in the production of excess amounts of androgens. If left untreated, CAH can result in adrenal crisis and even death. Exogenous glucocorticoids (GCs) are necessary to correct the endogenous cortisol deficiency, but historically, doses higher than those needed for cortisol replacement (supraphysiologic) have been used to lower the elevated levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and adrenal androgens. However, GC treatment at supraphysiologic doses has been associated with serious and significant complications of steroid excess, including metabolic issues such as weight gain and diabetes, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Additionally, long-term treatment with supraphysiologic GCs may have psychological and cognitive impacts, such as changes in mood and memory. Adrenal androgen excess has been associated with abnormal bone growth and development in pediatric patients, female health problems such as excess facial hair growth and menstrual irregularities, in addition to cardiometabolic and fertility issues in both sexes. The symptoms of high ACTH may include testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs). About CRENESSITY® (crinecerfont)
CRENESSITY is a potent and selective oral corticotropin-releasing factor type 1 receptor (CRF1) antagonist that reduces and controls excess adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and adrenal androgens through a non-glucocorticoid (GC) mechanism for the treatment of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Antagonism of CRF1 receptors in the pituitary has been shown to decrease ACTH levels, which in turn decreases the production of adrenal androgens and potentially the symptoms associated with CAH. The robust clinical study data demonstrate that lowering adrenal androgen levels with CRENESSITY enables lower, more physiologic dosing of GCs to replace missing cortisol. CRENESSITY comes in capsules and an oral solution. For adults 18 years?of age?and older, the recommended dosage is 100 mg twice daily taken orally with a meal. For pediatric patients four to 17 years of age weighing less than 55 kg (121?lbs), the recommended dosage is based on body weight and is administered twice daily, taken orally with a meal. For pediatric patients weighing more than 55 kg (121?lbs), the recommended dosage is?100 mg?twice daily taken orally with a meal. Healthcare providers can work with patients to?determine?the?appropriate formulation?for use depending on patient needs. Patients receiving CRENESSITY should continue GC therapy for cortisol replacement.? About The CAHtalyst® Studies
The Phase 3?CAHtalyst?global registrational studies were designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of CRENESSITY®?in children and adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The?CAHtalyst?studies were the largest-ever clinical trial program in classic CAH, including 285 pediatric and adult patients.?? The?CAHtalyst?Pediatric study included 103 pediatric?patients?four to 17 years?of age. The study tested two questions. The first question evaluated whether four weeks of CRENESSITY treatment could improve androgen control. The second question evaluated whether an additional?24 weeks?of CRENESSITY treatment enabled customized glucocorticoid (GC) down-titration while androstenedione levels were?maintained?or improved.??? The?CAHtalyst?Adult?study?included 182 adult patients 18 to 58 years?of age. Similarly, the first question of the study evaluated whether four weeks of CRENESSITY treatment could improve androgen control, and the second question evaluated whether an?additional?20 weeks?of CRENESSITY treatment enabled GC reduction to?physiologic?range while androstenedione levels were?maintained?or improved.?? Data from the?CAHtalyst?Phase 3 studies supported approval of CRENESSITY by the?U.S.?Food and Drug Administration?in?December 2024.

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an abnormality in the gene expression on chromosome 15. The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association USA estimates that PWS occurs in one in every 15,000 live births. The defining symptom of PWS is hyperphagia, a chronic and life-threatening condition characterized by an intense persistent sensation of hunger accompanied by food preoccupations, an extreme drive to consume food, food-related behavior problems, and a lack of normal satiety, which can severely diminish the quality of life for individuals with PWS and their families. Hyperphagia can lead to significant mortality (e.g., stomach rupture, choking, accidental death due to food-seeking behavior) and longer term, co-morbidities such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.INDICATION
VYKAT XR (diazoxide choline) extended-release tablets is indicated for the treatment of hyperphagia in adults and pediatric patients 4 years of age and older with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONContraindications
Use of VYKAT XR is contraindicated in patients who have a known hypersensitivity to diazoxide, other components of VYKAT XR, or to thiazides.Warnings and PrecautionsHyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia, including diabetic ketoacidosis, has been reported. Before initiating VYKAT XR, test fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c; optimize blood glucose in patients who have hyperglycemia. During treatment, regularly monitor fasting glucose (FPG or fasting blood glucose) and HbA1c. Monitor fasting glucose more frequently during the first few weeks of treatment in patients with risk factors for hyperglycemia.Risk of Fluid Overload
Edema, including severe reactions associated with fluid overload, has been reported. Monitor for signs or symptoms of edema or fluid overload. VYKAT XR has not been studied in patients with compromised cardiac reserve and should be used with caution in these patients.Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥10% and at least 2% greater than placebo) included hypertrichosis, edema, hyperglycemia, and rash.Please see the full Prescribing Information, including Medication Guide.About Soleno Therapeutics, Inc.

Neurocrine unveils first expert guidance for tardive dyskinesia care in long-term facilitiesMarch 26, 2026 11:27 AM
IH Market News
Neurocrine Biosciences (NASDAQ:NBIX) on Thursday announced new expert consensus recommendations aimed at improving the screening, diagnosis and treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD) among older adults living in long-term care settings.The recommendations were developed through a multidisciplinary Delphi panel and presented at the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association (PALTmed) PALTC26 Annual Conference in Anaheim, California. They represent the first guidance specifically tailored to managing TD in residents of long-term care facilities, a population considered at elevated risk for the movement disorder.Neurocrine also presented results from a post-hoc analysis of its KINECT PRO study, showing meaningful improvements in patient-reported TD impact among adults aged 65 and older treated with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules. The company said the findings add to the evidence supporting the treatment’s efficacy, tolerability and safety profile in older patients.“To date, there has been limited practical guidance tailored specifically to the screening, diagnosis and treatment of tardive dyskinesia in the long-term care setting,” said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. “The consensus recommendations provide structured guidance for clinicians caring for residents in these environments, and the KINECT-PRO findings demonstrate clinically meaningful patient-reported improvements in the impact of tardive dyskinesia with INGREZZA in adults aged 65 years and older. Together, this guidance and evidence help support more informed treatment decisions in this population that may be at higher risk for tardive dyskinesia.”Older adults in long-term care facilities face heightened TD risk due to prolonged exposure to dopamine receptor-blocking medications, advanced age, polypharmacy and multiple underlying health conditions. Identifying and managing TD can be especially challenging in patients who are non-ambulatory, cognitively impaired or unable to clearly report symptoms.To address these challenges, the Delphi panel developed practical recommendations designed to help clinicians apply a more consistent and structured approach to TD evaluation and treatment in long-term care environments.“Residents in long-term care settings often present with overlapping medical and psychiatric complexities that can make tardive dyskinesia difficult to consistently recognize and manage,” said Amita Patel, M.D., the poster’s lead author and psychiatrist at the Joint Township District Memorial Hospital in St. Mary’s, Ohio. “Through this process, the panel reached clear consensus on practical, implementable recommendations that support evidence-based diagnosis and appropriate use of VMAT2 inhibitors. These recommendations provide clinicians with a structured framework to guide screening and treatment decisions to help improve outcomes for this especially vulnerable population.”

Neurocrine Biosciences Presents First Expert Consensus Recommendations for Tardive Dyskinesia in Long-Term Care SettingsMarch 26, 2026 8:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Expert panel establishes structured approach to tardive dyskinesia screening, diagnosis and treatment in long-term care, including use of VMAT2 inhibitorsNew post-hoc KINECT-PRO™ analysis in adults aged 65 years and older demonstrates clinically meaningful patient-reported improvements in tardive dyskinesia impact with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules, reinforcing expert panel recommendationsSAN DIEGO, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced the presentation of the first expert consensus recommendations focused on screening, diagnosis and treatment of tardive dyskinesia among older adults in long-term care settings. Developed through a multidisciplinary Delphi panel, the recommendations address persistent gaps in recognizing and managing tardive dyskinesia in this higher-risk population. Findings were presented at the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association (PALTmed) PALTC26 Annual Conference in Anaheim, Calif.







The company also presented a first-of-its-kind post-hoc analysis from the KINECT-PRO™ study demonstrating meaningful improvements in patient-reported tardive dyskinesia (TD) impact among adults aged 65 years and older treated with INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules. This analysis adds to the growing body of evidence supporting the appropriateness, efficacy, tolerability and established safety profile of INGREZZA in this patient population."To date, there has been limited practical guidance tailored specifically to the screening, diagnosis and treatment of tardive dyskinesia in the long-term care setting," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "The consensus recommendations provide structured guidance for clinicians caring for residents in these environments, and the KINECT-PRO findings demonstrate clinically meaningful patient-reported improvements in the impact of tardive dyskinesia with INGREZZA in adults aged 65 years and older. Together, this guidance and evidence help support more informed treatment decisions in this population that may be at higher risk for tardive dyskinesia."Older adults in long-term care are at an elevated risk for TD due to prolonged exposure to dopamine receptor blocking agents, advanced age, polypharmacy and complex comorbidities. Recognition and management may be further complicated in residents who are non-ambulatory, cognitively impaired or unable to reliably report symptoms. The Delphi panel was convened to develop recommendations that reflect this clinical complexity and support a more consistent, structured approach to TD care."Residents in long-term care settings often present with overlapping medical and psychiatric complexities that can make tardive dyskinesia difficult to consistently recognize and manage," said Amita Patel, M.D., the poster's lead author and psychiatrist at the Joint Township District Memorial Hospital in St. Mary's, Ohio. "Through this process, the panel reached clear consensus on practical, implementable recommendations that support evidence-based diagnosis and appropriate use of VMAT2 inhibitors. These recommendations provide clinicians with a structured framework to guide screening and treatment decisions to help improve outcomes for this especially vulnerable population."Screening and Diagnosing TD in Long-Term Care Settings Requires a Holistic ApproachThe panel identified key considerations to support routine and consistent TD screening in long-term care settings. These include:Use of the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) for screening and assessing TD.Quarterly screening for residents treated with dopamine receptor blocking agents, the primary cause of TD.Regular assessment of the impact of TD on residents' well-being, including feedback from residents, family members, caregivers and the broader care team.Treatment Selection Should Consider Relevant Patient FactorsPanelists also reached consensus that TD should be treated with a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor in long-term care settings and identified several treatment-selection factors particularly relevant in these environments. These include:Formulation flexibility for residents who experience dysphagia or difficulty swallowing.Simplified administration, including the availability of a therapeutic starting dose.Consideration of polypharmacy and potential drug-drug interactions.Availability of clinical data in adults aged 65 years and older.These considerations underscore the importance of selecting a therapy with a clinical profile and administration characteristics that align with the needs of long-term care residents. INGREZZA is approved for the treatment of adults with TD and, among approved VMAT2 inhibitors:has been studied extensively in adults aged 65 years and older.is the only VMAT2 inhibitor without a cautious dosing recommendation in this population.is the only treatment that offers a therapeutic dose from day one with no required titration.is available in a sprinkle formulation.has a safety profile in adults aged 65 years and older that is consistent with that observed in patients younger than 65 years of age.*Phase 4 KINECT-PRO Findings Reinforce Significance of Expert Consensus GuidelinesA post-hoc analysis of the KINECT-PRO study complements the consensus recommendations by demonstrating the real-world impact of INGREZZA treatment in older adults. KINECT-PRO is the first and only clinical study to specifically evaluate and investigate patient-reported improvement with INGREZZA for TD using multiple validated scales, including the Tardive Dyskinesia Impact Scale (TDIS™).In adults aged 65 and older, once-daily INGREZZA was associated with robust patient-reported improvements in TD symptoms, quality of life and functional impairment at Week 24. Patient-reported outcomes also demonstrated reduced social and emotional burden, with improvements in total TDIS scores exceeding the established threshold for clinically meaningful change.Additional presentations at the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association (PALTmed) PALTC26 Annual Conference include: Management of Tardive Dyskinesia in Long-Term Care: Application of the 4Ms FrameworkPhysical, Mental, and Socioemotional Functional Improvement Following Valbenazine Treatment in Patients with TD Residing in Long-term Care SettingsValbenazine Treatment for Tardive Dyskinesia in a 64-Year-Old Female Presenting with Nonhealing Wounds due to Truncal Dyskinesias: A Case Report* Safety profiles as demonstrated in a post-hoc analysis from two 48-week studies (KINECT® 3 extension and KINECT® 4).About Tardive Dyskinesia 
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a movement disorder that is characterized by uncontrolled, abnormal and repetitive movements of the face, torso and/or other body parts, which may be disruptive and negatively impact patients. The condition is associated with taking certain kinds of mental health medicines (antipsychotics) that help control dopamine receptors in the brain. Taking antipsychotics commonly prescribed to treat mental illnesses such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and other prescription medicines (metoclopramide and prochlorperazine) used to treat gastrointestinal disorders are associated with TD. In patients with TD, these treatments are thought to result in irregular dopamine signaling in a region of the brain that controls movement. The symptoms of TD can be mild to severe and are often persistent and irreversible. TD is estimated to affect at least 800,000 adults in the U.S.  About the KINECT-PRO™ Phase 4 Study
The KINECT-PRO™ Phase 4, open-label study was designed to evaluate patient-reported outcomes on the use of INGREZZA® (valbenazine) capsules in a tardive dyskinesia (TD) patient population reflective of real-world clinical practice. Participants had at least mild TD, were aware of and experiencing at least mild distress from their abnormal, involuntary movements and had a clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder or major depression. The KINECT-PRO study included a four-week screening period, a 24-week treatment period during which participants received 40 mg of INGREZZA once-daily for the first four weeks, followed by flexible dosing of 40 mg, 60 mg or 80 mg once-daily based on individual treatment needs and a two-week safety follow-up period. Baseline socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the participants were broadly similar to those of the KINECT® 3 and KINECT® 4 studies. KINECT-PRO is the first and only study to specifically evaluate and demonstrate patient-reported improvement with vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor treatment on TD using multiple clinically validated scales, including the Tardive Dyskinesia Impact Scale (TDIS™). The TDIS is the only patient-reported outcome instrument designed for and validated in tardive dyskinesia patients that measures the physical, social and emotional impact of the involuntary movements of the condition. About the Tardive Dyskinesia Impact Scale   
The Tardive Dyskinesia Impact Scale (TDIS™) is the only patient-reported outcome instrument designed for and validated in tardive dyskinesia patients that measures the physical, social and emotional impact of the involuntary movements of the condition. It was developed by Neurocrine Biosciences from qualitative studies and Phase 3 trials of INGREZZA for the treatment of TD (KINECT® 3 and KINECT® 4) as a comprehensive measure of impact and burden of TD from a patient's perspective. The TDIS consists of 11 questions evaluating physical and socio-emotional impact. Six scales are assessed: mouth/throat, dexterity, mobility, pain, social and emotional. The TDIS allows people with TD to rate how their symptoms affect daily activities and how their uncontrollable movements make them feel. The questionnaire captures relevant information about the impact of TD to provide a more holistic assessment of the condition. Validation of this scale was published in the Journal of Patient-Reported Outcomes.  About INGREZZA® (valbenazine) Capsules and INGREZZA® SPRINKLE (valbenazine) Capsules 
INGREZZA is a selective vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adults with tardive dyskinesia and the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD). Only INGREZZA offers a therapeutic dose from day one with no required titration.  INGREZZA, developed by Neurocrine Biosciences, selectively inhibits VMAT2 with no appreciable binding affinity for VMAT1, dopaminergic (including D2), serotonergic, adrenergic, histaminergic or muscarinic receptors. While the specific way INGREZZA works to treat TD and HD chorea is not fully understood, INGREZZA is unique in that it selectively and specifically targets VMAT2 to inhibit the release of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that helps control movement. INGREZZA is believed to reduce extra dopamine signaling, which may lead to fewer uncontrollable movements.  INGREZZA is studied across the widest range of patients. It is always one capsule, once daily and can be taken together with most stable mental health regimens such as antipsychotics or antidepressants. Only INGREZZA offers the benefit of a sprinkle formulation, INGREZZA SPRINKLE, for those who experience dysphagia, have difficulty swallowing or prefer not to swallow a pill. INGREZZA and INGREZZA SPRINKLE dosages approved for use are 40 mg, 60 mg and 80 mg capsules.  Important Information Approved Uses 
INGREZZA®?(valbenazine) capsules or INGREZZA®?SPRINKLE (valbenazine) capsules are prescription medicines used to treat adults with: movements in the face, tongue, or other body parts that cannot be controlled (tardive dyskinesia). involuntary movements (chorea) of Huntington's disease.

Neurocrine Biosciences Initiates Phase 2 Clinical Study Evaluating NBI-1065890 in Adults with Tardive DyskinesiaJanuary 26, 2026 1:30 PM
PR Newswire (US)

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced the initiation of its Phase 2 clinical study of investigational compound NBI-1065890 in adults with tardive dyskinesia (TD). NBI-1065890 is a next-generation, selective inhibitor of the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2). Building on nearly 20 years of deep scientific expertise and experience in VMAT2 inhibition, Neurocrine designed NBI-1065890 to potentially deliver a differentiated profile, including the possibility of longer-acting options for the treatment of TD.







"NBI-'890 is an internally discovered molecule with distinct physical and chemical properties that may allow it to benefit a broader range of patients with tardive dyskinesia," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "Advancing this program to a Phase 2 clinical study is key to our strategy to define the future of VMAT2 biology and deliver lasting impact for patients."This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will enroll approximately 100 adult subjects with TD and will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of NBI-1065890 compared with placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint is change from baseline in the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) dyskinesia total score (sum of Items 1–7) at Week 8.Neurocrine successfully developed and received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in 2017 for valbenazine, a selective VMAT2 inhibitor, for use as the first drug ever developed for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia. In 2023, the company received FDA approval for valbenazine as a treatment for chorea associated with Huntington's disease. For more information about the Phase 2 study (NBI-1065890-TD2033), visit ClinicalTrials.gov. About Tardive Dyskinesia
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a movement disorder that is characterized by uncontrolled, abnormal and repetitive movements of the face, torso and/or other body parts, which may be disruptive and negatively impact patients. The condition is associated with taking certain kinds of mental health medicines (antipsychotics) that help control dopamine receptors in the brain. Taking antipsychotics commonly prescribed to treat mental illnesses such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and other prescription medicines (metoclopramide and prochlorperazine) used to treat gastrointestinal disorders are associated with TD. In patients with TD, these treatments are thought to result in irregular dopamine signaling in a region of the brain that controls movement. The symptoms of TD can be mild to severe and are often persistent and irreversible. TD is estimated to affect at least 800,000 adults in the U.S. About NBI-1065890
NBI-1065890, discovered and developed internally at Neurocrine, is a potent, selective and orally bioavailable inhibitor of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) in clinical development for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD). Inhibition of VMAT2 is expected to provide therapeutic benefit in TD, other hyperkinetic movement disorders, and potentially other CNS disorders where dopaminergic signaling is dysregulated.About Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc.

🌿 Epilepsy: Cannabis vs. Synthetic Seizure Drugs
Medical cannabis: CBD oils and extracts are marketed as plant-based, holistic options. Families often see them as “natural relief” without the chemical baggage of traditional drugs.

Biotech/Pharma: Companies develop lab-engineered anti-seizure medications, often with complex side-effect profiles. Some pharma firms are even creating synthetic cannabinoids to patent and control.

The clash: Cannabis appeals to patients seeking authenticity and fewer side effects, while pharma emphasizes precision dosing and regulatory approval. $NBIX

SAN DIEGO, April 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: NBIX) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved INGREZZA™ (valbenazine) capsules for the treatment of adults with tardive dyskinesia (TD). INGREZZA, a novel, selective vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor, is the first and only FDA-approved product indicated for the treatment of adults with TD.

"The often debilitating effects of tardive dyskinesia have left people feeling isolated and forgotten. The approval of INGREZZA represents a turning point for these patients and their care partners, offering a meaningful treatment where before there was little hope," said Kevin C. Gorman, Chief Executive Officer of Neurocrine Biosciences. "For the past 20 years, Neurocrine has been devoted to developing treatments for difficult to manage conditions in underserved patient populations. We are committed to ensuring that those impacted by the disruptive effects of TD have access to INGREZZA."

"Until now, one of the few options for physicians, when managing TD, was to stop, change or lower the dose of antipsychotic medication, potentially jeopardizing patients' psychiatric stability," said Christoph U. Correll, MD, Professor, Psychiatry and Molecular Medicine, Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine. "In clinical trials, INGREZZA significantly and rapidly improved TD symptoms compared to placebo, reducing involuntary movements acutely and through 48 weeks of treatment without compromising underlying psychiatric care. These results, combined with convenient once-daily dosing, represent a tremendous breakthrough for patients suffering from TD."

Clinical studies have shown that INGREZZA provides significant, rapid and meaningful improvement in TD signs and symptoms compared to placebo through six weeks, with continued reductions in TD observed through 48 weeks of treatment. INGREZZA was generally well tolerated, with somnolence as the only adverse event occurring at a rate greater than or equal to 5 percent and twice placebo. In clinical trials, no worsening in safety scale scores for depression, suicidal ideation or behaviors was observed. INGREZZA has been studied in over 1,000 individuals and more than 20 clinical trials.

"A treatment for tardive dyskinesia is a welcome and exciting step in the continued effort to destigmatize mental health conditions," said Paul Gionfriddo, President & CEO of Mental Health America. "With an FDA approved treatment now available, individuals and doctors can have more productive and proactive conversations about TD."

"The FDA's approval of INGREZZA represents the culmination of over ten years of dedicated effort from the Neurocrine research and development teams," said Christopher F. O'Brien, MD, Neurocrine's Chief Medical Officer. "Neurocrine would like to thank the many clinical investigators and TD patients who participated in our clinical trials. Without their partnership and commitment, we would not have been able to achieve this tremendous breakthrough."

INGREZZA will be in the distribution channel next week and will be available through a select pharmacy network. Promotion to healthcare professionals will commence on May 1, 2017. To assist TD patients in gaining access to INGREZZA, Neurocrine has created the INBRACETM patient support program, which will immediately begin accepting treatment initiation forms from health care professionals prescribing INGREZZA and work closely with patients and their families to facilitate access. INBRACE is designed to provide personalized product assistance and services. For more information, patients may visit www.INGREZZA.com or call 1-84-INGREZZA (1-844-647-3992).

About Tardive Dyskinesia (TD)

TD is characterized by uncontrollable, abnormal and repetitive movements of the trunk, extremities and/or face. The condition is caused by treatments that block dopamine receptors in the brain, such as antipsychotics and other medications, which are commonly prescribed to treat mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression. In patients with TD, these treatments are thought to result in irregular dopamine signaling in a region of the brain that controls movement. The symptoms of TD can be severe and are often persistent and irreversible. TD is estimated to affect at least 500,000 people in the U.S.

About INGREZZA

INGREZZA, a selective VMAT2 inhibitor, is the first and only product indicated for the treatment of adults with tardive dyskinesia. The approval of INGREZZA was based on data from the Kinect 3 study, a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed-dose study comparing once-daily INGREZZA 80mg and 40mg to placebo over six weeks in patients with underlying schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or mood disorder. Subsequent to the completion of the six week placebo-controlled dosing, all subjects were placed on once-daily 40mg or once-daily 80mg of INGREZZA through week 48. INGREZZA met the primary endpoint in this study with a mean change from baseline to week six in the AIMS dyskinesia total score of -3.2 for the 80mg once-daily group as compared to -0.1 in the placebo group (p<0.0001). Also in the Kinect 3 study:

The percentage of participants who achieved at least a 50% reduction in AIMS was 40 percent (p<0.001) in participants receiving 80mg/day of INGREZZA compared to only 8.7 percent of those who received placebo.
INGREZZA was found to be generally well tolerated, with somnolence as the only adverse event occurring at a rate of 5 percent or greater and twice placebo.
INGREZZA inhibits VMAT2 and is thought to work by reducing the amount of dopamine released in a region of the brain that controls movement and motor function, helping to regulate nerve signaling in adults with TD. VMAT2 is a protein in the brain that packages neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, for transport and release in presynaptic neurons. INGREZZA, developed in Neurocrine's laboratories, is novel in that it selectively inhibits VMAT2 with no appreciable binding affinity for VMAT1, dopaminergic (including D2), serotonergic, adrenergic, histaminergic, or muscarinic receptors. Additionally, INGREZZA can be taken together with psychiatric medications such as antipsychotics or antidepressants.

Breakthrough Therapy Designation was received from the FDA for INGREZZA for the treatment of TD, and the New Drug Application was evaluated by the FDA with priority review.

Important Safety Information

INGREZZA can cause somnolence. Patients should not perform activities requiring mental alertness such as operating a motor vehicle or operating hazardous machinery until they know how they will be affected by INGREZZA.

INGREZZA may prolong the QT interval, although the degree of QT prolongation is not clinically significant at concentrations expected with recommended dosing. INGREZZA should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome or with arrhythmias associated with a prolonged QT interval.

The most common adverse reaction (5% or greater and twice the rate of placebo) is somnolence.

Please see INGREZZA full Prescribing Information at www.INGREZZA.com.
