E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
MRI study:
At selected sites subjects will undergo brain MRI scans at Month 6 (V6) and Month 12/ET (V8), using a 3-Tesla MRI scanner and standardized image acquisition protocols.
The MRI session will include three individual MRI acquisitions during the time the subject is in the magnet:
1. A high resolution T1-weighted structural MRI.
2. Brain white matter microstructures will be imaged using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
3. Patterns of activation in the brain will be imaged using resting-state functional MRI.
For objectives please refer to protocol |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.
2. Subjects who are willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
3. Subjects must have completed Study A8241021 and, in the opinion of the investigator and sponsor, have been compliant with the STUDY PROCEDURES, Lifestyle Guidelines and study treatment.
4. Only subjects who were part of the MRI cohort in study A8241021 are eligible for the MRI assessments.
5. Males or females between the age of 30 years and 66 years (inclusive).
6. Diagnosis of HD based on characteristic clinical findings, including presence of chorea, and genetic confirmation with the detection of an expansion of ≥36 CAG trinucleotide repeats in the huntingtin gene (Htt).
7. Male and female subjects of childbearing potential and at risk for pregnancy must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study and for at least 28 days (90 days for males) after the last dose of assigned treatment.
Female subjects who are not of childbearing potential (ie, meet at least 1 of the following criteria):
- Have undergone a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy;
- Have medically confirmed ovarian failure; or
- Achieved postmenopausal status, defined as follows: cessation of regular menses for at least 12 consecutive months with no alternative pathological or physiological cause; status may be confirmed by having a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level within the laboratory’s reference range for postmenopausal women. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Subjects who are investigational site staff members directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff members otherwise supervised by the investigator, or subjects who are Pfizer employees directly involved in the conduct of the study.
2. Participation in study(ies) involving investigational drug(s) (Phases 1-4) other than PF-02545920 within the past 9 months before the current study begins and/or during study participation.
3. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.
4. Evidence or history of:
a. Clinically significant neurologic disorder other than Huntington’s disease. This also includes subjects with previous history of epilepsy or seizures (except childhood febrile seizures), stroke, head injury with significant neurologic sequelae.
b. Other severe acute psychiatric condition, mania and/or psychosis.
c. For subjects who score ≥ 3 on the suicidal ideation item of the Problem Behaviors Assessment or answer “Yes” to the C-SSRS questions 4 or 5, a risk assessment should be done by a qualified mental health professional (eg, a psychiatrist or licensed PhD level clinical psychologist) to assess whether it is safe for the subject to participate in the study (See Suicidality Risk Assessment). In addition, subjects deemed by the investigator to be at significant risk of suicidal or violent behavior should be excluded. Attempted suicide or suicidal ideation with intention or plan, which required hospital admission and/or change of level of care within 15 months prior to Screening should be discussed with medical monitor or clinician before proceeding.
5. Evidence or history of any clinically significant conditions which affect one of the following systems and which were used as exclusion criteria in preceding A8241021 study:
a. Renal.
b. Endocrine.
c. Pulmonary.
d. Hematological.
e. Gastrointestinal (including any condition possibly affecting drug absorption, eg, gastrectomy, gastric bypass).
f. Immunological, including positivity for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
g. Severe allergic diseases (excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal and environmental allergies at time of dosing).
h. Any history of malignant tumors and treatment within the previous 15 months.
6. Subjects with:
a. WBC ≤ 3500/mm3 OR ANC ≤ 2000/mm3 anytime in study A8241021 which were not approved as acceptable for enrollment in study A8241022 by the sponsor study clinician or sponsor medical monitor. These cases should be discussed with the sponsor medical monitor or clinician prior to submitting subject for an eligibility approval.
b. History of neutropenia, including benign ethnic neutropenia, clozapine induced agranulocytosis or granulocytopenia.
c. History of myeloproliferative disorders (primary myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, chronic eosinophilic leukemia/hypereosinophilic syndrome, systemic mastocytosis).
7. Evidence or history of clinically significant cardiovascular disease, including:
a. Uncontrolled hypertension (sitting or supine diastolic blood pressure >95 mmHg and/or sitting or supine systolic blood pressure >170 mmHg with or without treatment).
b. Evidence of orthostatic symptoms (eg, dizziness upon standing) or systolic blood pressure (BP) drop ≥ 20 mm Hg or diastolic BP drop ≥ 10 mmHg from supine to standing assessment at screening.
c. Any 12-lead ECG with repeated demonstration of QTc >450 msec or a QRS interval >120 msec.
d. Coronary bypass surgery.
e. History of myocardial infarction or ischemic heart disease.
f. Heart failure.
g. Non clinically significant ECG findings including sinus bradycardia and tachycardia will not exclude subjects from the study.
8. Subjects with laboratory test results reviewed at screening that deviate from the upper or lower limits of the reference range, as assessed by the study-specific laboratory and confirmed by a single repeat, if deemed necessary, except for non-clinically significant values, as determined by the investigator.
a. AST or ALT must be ≤ 2 X upper limit of reference range.
b. Total bilirubin must be within 1.5 X of the upper limit of reference range at screening; subjects with a history of Gilbert's syndrome may have a direct bilirubin measured and would be eligible for this study provided the direct bilirubin is ≤ ULN.
