The TETRAS composite outcome score is the sum of modified items 1 - 11 of the TETRAS-ADL subscale and modified items 6a, 6b, and 7 of the TETRAS-PS. The TETRAS-ADL subscale is a patient-rated scale administered by a trained interviewer that assesses the impact of tremor on day-to-day functioning, such as eating, drinking, dressing, and other fine motor skills. The TETRAS-PS is a clinical rating scale that quantifies tremor in the head, face voice, limbs and trunk. Items 6a, 6b, and 7 of the TETRAS-PS evaluate the impact of upper limb tremor on performance. Each item from the modified subscales ranges from 0 - 3, with 0 representing normal or slightly abnormal and 3 representing severely abnormal. The sum of the 14 items provides the TETRAS composite outcome score, which ranges from 0 - 42, with higher scores representing more severe tremor. The change from baseline is being reported where the greater the change from baseline indicates improvement in outcome.

Treatment-emergent adverse events are all adverse events occurring during the treatment period or a pretreatment event that worsens in intensity during the treatment period as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.
An adverse event of special interest is a serious adverse event as defined in Outcome 6. This includes, however is not limited to, increased seizure frequency, new seizure types, worsening of EEG parameters, systemic adverse events based on safety profile as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.
The change from baseline to end of treatment in participants' pulses was assessed. The changes in recumbent pulse, standing pulse, and the change from recumbent to standing pulse are reported. Change from recumbent to standing pulse was measured by the difference in recumbent pulse change and standing pulse change.
The change from baseline to end of treatment in participants' systolic blood pressure (sbp) was assessed. The changes in recumbent sbp, standing sbp, and the change from recumbent to standing sbp are reported. Change from recumbent to standing sbp was measured by the difference in recumbent sbp change and standing sbp change.
The change from baseline to end of treatment in participants' diastolic blood pressure (dbp) was assessed. The changes in recumbent dbp, standing dbp, and the change from recumbent to standing dbp are reported. Change from recumbent to standing dbp was measured by the difference in recumbent dbp change and standing dbp change.
The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale Performance Subscale (TETRAS-PS) was used to assess the efficacy of CX-8998 in reducing essential tremor as scored by the independent video raters. TETRAS-PS quantifies tremor in the head, face, voice, limbs, and trunk. The overall subscale score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 64. A lower score is indicative of improvement and a better outcome.

Suvecaltamide is an investigational small molecule developed by Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc for Parkinson disease. It is being studied as a treatment for moderate to severe residual tremor in adults with Parkinson disease. It is a Phase 2 candidate and has not been approved by the FDA.
Suvecaltamide is being developed to treat moderate to severe residual tremor in adults with Parkinson disease. Residual tremor refers to tremor that persists despite existing Parkinson disease treatment. The clinical program enrolled adults aged 40 years and older with this condition.
Suvecaltamide targets the calcium channels CACNA1H, CACNA1G, and CACNA1I. It acts as a modulator of these targets. These calcium channels are associated with neurological signaling, which is the basis for studying the drug in Parkinson disease tremor.
Suvecaltamide is developed by Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker JAZZ. Jazz Pharmaceuticals is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating suvecaltamide in Parkinson disease.
Suvecaltamide is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and is not FDA approved. The Phase 2 trial has been completed, and no active trials of suvecaltamide are currently listed.
Suvecaltamide has been studied in the Phase 2 trial NCT05642442, titled A Study of Suvecaltamide in Adults With Moderate to Severe Residual Tremor in Parkinson's Disease. The completed trial enrolled 169 participants across the United States, Germany, Poland, and Spain.
