Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to determine whether SD-809 tablets are effective in the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's Disease.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Chorea	Drug: SD-809; Drug: Placebo	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of SD-809 for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's Disease. Approximately 90 subjects will be randomized (1:1) into the study, with approximately 45 subjects receiving SD-809 and 45 subjects receiving placebo. The study will be conducted at approximately 30 centers in the U.S. and Canada.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: SD-809 ER Tablets; SD-809 ER tablets are available in three dose strengths: 6, 9 and 12 mg, all of which are identical in size, shape and color (white). All are administered three times a day, with the 6 mg final dose is placebo.	Drug: SD-809; SD-809 tablets are available in three dose strengths: 6, 9 and 12 mg, all of which are identical in size, shape and color (white).; Other Name: deutetrabenazine; Drug: Placebo; Placebo tablets are identical in appearance to SD-809 tablets.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Change From Baseline (Average of Screening and Day 0) in the Average TMC Scores From Weeks 9 & 12 [ Time Frame: Screening, Day 0, Weeks 9, 12 ]
   Total TMC score is a sum of chorea scores which range 0-28, with a decrease indicating improvement in chorea

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Number of Participants With Treatment Success at the End of Therapy as Measured by the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
   A treatment success is defined as Much or Very Much Improved at the Week 12 visit. The PGIC is a 7-point Likert Scale, ranging from very much worse to very much improved
2. Number of Participants With Treatment Success at the End of Therapy Based on Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
   A treatment success is defined as Much or Very Much Improved at the Week 12 visit. The PGIC is a 7-point Likert Scale, ranging from very much worse to very much improved. The clinician was asked to comment about the subject.
3. Change in the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) Physical Functioning Score (Based on Items 3a to 3j) From Baseline to Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 weeks ]
   Change in the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) physical functioning score (based on items 3a to 3j) from Baseline to Week 12. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability.
4. Change in Berg Balance Test (BBT) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 weeks ]
   The Berg Balance Test (BBT) is a 14-item assessment of sitting, standing, transferring, and turning. Each task ranging from standing up from a sitting position, to standing on one foot each task is given a score of zero (unable) to four (independent), and the final measure is the sum of all of the scores.The scale range, which is 0-56, with higher scores indicating better balance/lower fall risk.
