This study was an international, multicenter, open-label, long term extension study evaluating the safety of ecopipam tablets for the treatment of children and adolescent subjects with Tourette Syndrome.
This was an international, multicenter, open-label, long term extension study to evaluate the safety of ecopipam tablets for the treatment of pediatric subjects (aged ≥6 to ≤18 years at Baseline) with Tourette Syndrome. Participants who completed the Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, efficacy and safety study (EBS-101-CL-001) without major reportable protocol deviations, and who met all the inclusion/exclusion criteria for this study were eligible to participate in this study. All participants were titrated to a target dose of 2 mg/kg/day as participants rolled over from the Phase 2b double-blind efficacy and safety study were tapered off study drug to maintain the blind from that study. Participants were to complete study visits every month for 1 year. Follow-up visits were conducted 7 and 14 days after the last dose of the study drug and a follow-up phone call was conducted 30 days after the last dose of study drug

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Their Relationship (Unrelated, Possibly Related, or Probably Related)
An AE was any untoward medical condition that occurs in a participant while participating in this clinical study. It can be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a study drug, whether or not related to the study. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose met one, more of the following criteria: results in death, life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent, significant disability/incapacity, a congenital abnormality/birth defect, an important medical event. The relationship of the study drug in causing or contributing to the AE whether unrelated, possibly related, or probably related was decided by investigator medical judgment.

Change From Baseline in the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale -Total Tic Score (YGTSS-TTS) at Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12
The YGTSS was a clinician-completed rating scale used to quantify overall tic severity as well as specific subdomains of tic number, frequency, intensity, complexity and interference. Each of these subdomains was scored, on a 0 to 5 scale, separately for motor and vocal tics and then summed across both motor and vocal tics to yield a total tic score ranging from 0 to 50. Higher scores represent more severe symptoms. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Time frame: Baseline up to Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12
Change From Baseline in the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale - Impairment (YGTSS-I) at Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12
The YGTSS was a clinician-completed rating scale used to quantify overall tic severity as well as specific subdomains of tic number, frequency, duration, intensity, and complexity. Each of these subdomains was scored, on 0 to 5 scale, separately for an overall impairment rating from (0 = ''none'' to 50 = ''severe''). Higher score represent more severe symptoms. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Time frame: Baseline up to Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12
Change From Baseline in the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale - Global Score (YGTSS-GS) at Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12
The YGTSS was a clinician-completed rating scale used to quantify overall tic severity as well as specific subdomains of tic number, frequency, duration, intensity, and complexity. Each of these subdomains was scored, on a 0 to 5 scale, separately for motor and vocal tics and then summed across both motor and vocal tics to yield a tic severity score ranging from 0 to 50. The YGTSS also provides for an overall impairment rating (0 = ''none'' to 50 = ''severe''). YGTSS-GS is the total of YGTSS-TTS and YGTSS-I. The maximum YGTSS Global score is 100, while the maximum motor score is 25, the maximum vocal score is 25, and the maximum impairment score is 50. Higher scores indicate more severe tics. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

Change From Baseline in Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome-Quality of Life Scale for Children and Adolescents (C&A-GTS-QOL) Total Score at Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12
The C\&A-GTS-QOL was a 27-item questionnaire specific to TS patients that asks the patient to assess the extent to which their quality of life is impacted by their symptoms. The C\&A-GTS-QOL consists of 6 subscales (cognitive \[score range 0-32\], coprophenomena \[range 0-12\], psychological \[range 0-24\], physical \[range 0-12\], obsessive-compulsive \[range 0-16\], and activities of daily living (ADL) \[range 0-12\] and uses a 5 point Likert scale ranging from no problem to extreme problem. Scores for six subscales were generated by summing items and, for ease of interpretation, transformation to a range of 0 to 100 (100\* \[(observed score-min possible score)/(max possible score-min possible score)\]). Total score, resulted from sum of the subscale scores, was also normalized to a 0 to 100 range. Higher score indicated worst quality of life. A negative change from baseline indicates better quality of life.
