Note: Patients receiving antidepressant therapy may be enrolled if on a stable dose for at least 6 weeks before screening.
3.Patient has a history of suicidal intent or related behaviors within 2 years of screening:

5.Patient has a first-degree relative who has completed suicide.
6.Patient who is currently receiving or who, in the last 4 months before screening, has received botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) in an investigational clinical trial.
Note: Patients may be included in the study if they have at least 2 treatments of Food and Drug Administration-approved BoNT at a regular interval (eg, every 3 to 4 months), in reasonably stable dosages and locations (subject to investigator’s judgement) to treat lower limb spasticity or dystonia, and if they are expected to continue this stable regimen of BoNT injections for the duration of this study. The patient is expected to continue on this stable regimen of BoNT injections on a regularly scheduled interval every 3 months for the duration of this study. The injection for spasticity or dystonia must be in a muscular region that is separate from the main areas affected by choreiform movement disorder.
Note: Patients who received BoNT injections more than 4 months before screening and who do not plan to continue these injections may be considered for this study.
7.Patient has received any of the following concomitant medications for dystonia or chorea within the specified exclusionary windows of screening:
Within 3 months: depot neuroleptics
Within 30 days: tetrabenazine, deutetrabenazine, or valbenazine
Within 21 days: reserpine
Within 14 days: neuroleptics (oral), typical and atypical antipsychotics (see Appendix H), metoclopramide, levodopa, dopamine agonists, and MAOIs

Note: Use of topiramate (up to 200 mg/day) is allowed if dosing has been stable for at least 4 weeks before screening.
8.Patient has received treatment with stem cells, deep brain stimulation, transmagnetic stimulation, or transcranial direct current stimulation for treatment of abnormal movements or CP within 6 months of the screening visit, or the patient is not in a stable clinical condition.
9.Patient has recent surgical procedure or is anticipated to have a surgical procedure during the study that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the patient unsuitable for the study.
10.Patient has a severe mental disability or an unstable or serious medical illness (eg, epilepsy) at screening or baseline that, in the opinion of the investigator, could jeopardize or would compromise the patient’s ability to participate in this study.
11.Patient has a QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) value >450 msec on 12-lead ECG at screening.
12.Patients with a history of torsade de pointes, congenital long QT syndrome, bradyarrhythmias, other cardiac arrhythmias, or uncompensated heart failure.
13. Patient has evidence of diminished hepatic function, as indicated by the following:
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >2.5 × the upper limit of the normal range (ULN) at screening
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) or total bilirubin >2 × ULN at screening
Note: Patients with Gilbert’s syndrome are eligible to participate if approved by the medical monitor.
Note: Patients with abnormalities in 2 or more of the following clinical laboratory parameters must be approved for enrollment by the medical monitor: AST, ALT, ALP, and total bilirubin.
14. Patient has evidence of clinically significant renal impairment, indicated by a serum creatinine >1.5 × ULN at screening.
