New pill shows promise in keeping Tourette's tics at bay

NCT ID NCT05615220

Completed Disease control Sponsor: Emalex Biosciences Inc. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested whether a medication called ecopipam could safely maintain its benefits for people with Tourette's Disorder after they initially responded to it. It involved 216 children, teens, and adults. First, everyone took the drug for 12 weeks. Those who improved were then randomly assigned to either keep taking ecopipam or switch to a placebo (a dummy pill) for another 12 weeks to see if the benefits lasted.
