Chorea is a common motor symptom of Huntington Disease (HD) which impacts motor function. Valbenazine, a potent and selective vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitor, is being investigated for the treatment of chorea associated HD, and was approved for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia in the United States in 2017. Prof. Erin Furr-Stimming (McGovern Medical School, University of Texas, Health Science Centre, Houston, TX, USA) joins touchNEUROLOGY to discuss the KINECT-HD phase 3 trial, which evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of valbenazine for the treatment of chorea associated with HD.
