Brief Summary

This study is a 12 month open label extension study of PF-02545920 20 mg dosed BID following study A8241021 in subjects with HD. Primary endpoints will be to assess long-term safety and tolerability of 20 mg BID of PF-02545920. Secondary endpoints will be the change from baseline in the Total Motor Score (TMS)assessment, and/ior the Total maximum Chorea (TMC) assessment of the Unified Huntington Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) after 6 and 12 months of treatment, and Clinical Global Impression-Improvement score after 6 and 12 months of treatment. Subjects, who were assigned to the 20 mg PF-02545920 dose group in the preceding A8241021 study, will receive 20 mg PF-02545920 without any titration. All other subjects will be titrated to the 20 mg BID dose as follows: 5 mg BID for 7 days, 10 mg BID for 7 days, 15 mg BID for 7 days, then 20 mg BID for the remainder of the treatment phase. Up to 260 subjects may take part in this open label extension

Number of Participants in Each Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA) CategoryBaseline (Day 1), Weeks 2 and 4, Months 3, 6, 9 and 12, follow-up visit (7-14 days after the last dose of Month 12)

Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) was an interview-based rating scale to systematically assess suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior, and was used in this study. C-SSRS responses were mapped onto the Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA). Number of participants with any of the following behaviors occurring since last visit was summarized: completed suicide; suicide attempt; preparatory acts towards suicide; suicidal ideation; self-injurious behavior (no suicidal intent).

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events1 year

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a product or medical device, regardless of its causal relationship with study treatment. Serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; was life-threatening (immediate risk of death); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent AEs are events between first dose of study treatment and up to 28 calendar days after the last administration of study treatment that were absent before treatment or that worsened after treatment. AEs included both serious and non-serious AEs.

Number of Participants With Electrocardiogram (ECG) Data Meeting Categorical Summarization Criteria1 year

Maximum absolute values and increases from baseline were summarized for PR interval (interval between the start of the ECG P wave and the start of the QRS complex corresponding to the time between the onset of the atrial depolarization and onset of ventricular depolarization), QRS complex (time from Q wave to the end of the S wave corresponding to ventricular depolarization), and QTcF interval (time from ECG Q wave to the end of T wave corresponding to electrical systole, corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula). Number of participants with ECG data meeting the following criteria is presented: (1) PR interval \>=300 msec; (2) QRS complex \>=140 msec; (3) QTcF interval: 450 to \<480 msec; (4) QTcF interval: 480 to \<500 msec; (5) QTcF interval \>=500 msec; (6) PR interval increase from baseline \>=25/50 percent; (7) QRS complex increase from baseline \>=50 percent; (8) QTcF interval increase from baseline: 30 to \<60 msec; (9) QTcF interval increase from baseline \>=60 msec.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events Related to Extrapyramidal Symptoms by Severity1 year

Adverse events related to extrapyramidal symptoms included dystonia, akathisia, tardive dyskinesia). Severity was assessed by the investigator. Mild means the AE didn't interfere with the participant's usual function. Moderate means the AE interfered to some extent the participant's usual function. Severe means the AE interfered significantly with the participant's usual function.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Absolute Value in Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) ScoreMonth 6 and Month 12

The Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) is a global measure of improvement or change based on the clinician's assessment of all available clinical data obtained from interviewing the participant. The CGI-I consists of a single 7-point rating of total improvement or change from baseline severity, regardless of whether or not the change is due entirely to drug treatment. Raters select 1 response based on the following question, "Compared to your participant's condition at the beginning of treatment, how much has he/she changed?" Scores are: 1: Very much improved; 2: Much improved; 3: Minimally improved; 4: No change; 5: Minimally worse; 6: Much worse; or 7: Very much worse.

Change From Baseline in Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) Total Maximum Chorea (TMC) ScoreBaseline (Day 1), Month 6, and Month 12

The UHDRS is a clinical rating scale developed to provide a uniform assessment of the clinical features and course of Huntington's disease (HD). The components of the full UHDRS assess motor function, cognition, behavior and functional abilities. Total Maximum Chorea (TMC) is a subset of the TMS assessment, and composed of the scoring of 7 chorea assessments (face, orobuccolingual, trunk, right and left upper extremities, right and left lower extremities). Each assessment is rated from 0 to 4 (absent to prolonged). TMC is obtained by adding up each of the separate scores, leading to max score of 28. The minimum score is 0. The higher the score, the worse the symptoms.

Change From Baseline in Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) Total Motor ScoreBaseline (Day 1), Month 6, and Month 12

The UHDRS is a clinical rating scale developed to provide a uniform assessment of the clinical features and course of Huntington's disease (HD). The components of the full UHDRS assess motor function, cognition, behavior and functional abilities. Total Motor Score (TMS) assesses motor features of HD with standardized ratings of oculomotor function, dysarthria, chorea, dystonia, gait, and postural ability. The total motor impairment scores was the sum of all the individual 31 motor sub-items (each rated from 0 to 4), with higher scores indicating more severe motor impairment than lower scores. The range of TMS is 0-124.
