- Safety: Number of Patients With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 to end of study (up to Day 182 [32 mg cohort]/ Day 210 [all other cohorts]) ]All TEAEs reported or observed during the study, including TEAEs resulting from concurrent illnesses, reactions to concurrent medications, or progression of disease states
- Safety: Severity of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Day 1 to end of study (up to Day 182 [32 mg cohort]/ Day 210 [all other cohorts]) ]Number of patients who experienced a severe treatment-emergent adverse event. Severity was evaluated using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0
- Safety: Number of Patients With Serious TEAEs [ Time Frame: Day 1 to end of study (up to Day 182 [32 mg cohort]/ Day 210 [all other cohorts]) ]A serious TEAE is defined as any event that results in death, is immediately life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect not present at Prescreening.
- Safety and Tolerability: Number of Patients Who Withdraw Due to TEAEs [ Time Frame: Day 1 to end of study (up to Day 182 [32 mg cohort]/ Day 210 [all other cohorts]) ]
- Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: Patients participating in Period 1 (SAD) had PK samples collected on Day 1 predose through 24-48 hours postdose. Patients participating in Period 2 (MAD) had PK samples collected predose on Day 112 and through 4 hours postdose. ]Cmax of WVE-120101 in plasma
- PK: Time of Occurrence of Cmax (Tmax) [ Time Frame: Patients participating in Period 1 (SAD) had PK samples collected on Day 1 predose through 24-48 hours postdose. Patients participating in Period 2 (MAD) had PK samples collected predose on Day 112 and through 4 hours postdose. ]tmax of WVE-120101 in plasma
- PK: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUClast) [ Time Frame: Patients participating in Period 1 (SAD) had PK samples collected on Day 1 predose through 24-48 hours postdose. Patients participating in Period 2 (MAD) had PK samples collected predose on Day 112 and through 4 hours postdose. ]AUClast from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration of WVE-120101 in plasma
- PK: Terminal Elimination Half Life [ Time Frame: Patients participating in Period 1 (SAD) had PK samples collected on Day 1 predose through 24-48 hours postdose. Patients participating in Period 2 (MAD) had PK samples collected predose on Day 112 and through 4 hours postdose. ]Terminal elimination half life of WVE-120101 in plasma (t1/2)
- Pharmacodynamics [ Time Frame: Day 1 to last observation - up to Day 140 (32 mg cohort) or Day 196 (all other cohorts) ]Percentage change from baseline in concentration of mutant huntingtin (mHTT) protein in CSF
- Clinical Effects: Total Functional Capacity (TFC) [ Time Frame: Day 1 to last observation - up to Day 140 (32 mg cohort) or Day 196 (all other cohorts) ]Percentage change from baseline to the last measured time point in the Total Functional Capacity score, administered as part of the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS). Total Functional Capacity is scored 13 (normal) to 0 (severe disability).
