Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from Baseline in the Following Clinical Endpoints at 3, 9, and 15 Months: cUHDRS, TFC, TMS, SDMT, SWR Test, and IS [ Time Frame: Baseline to 15 months ]
    cUHDRS = composite Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale TFC = Total Functional Capacity Scale TMS = Total Motor Scale SDMT = Symbol Digit Modalities Test SWR = Stroop Word Reading IS = Independence Scale

  2. Change from Baseline in Biomarkers of Neuronal Injury (e.g., CSF NfL and tau) at 3, 9, and 15 Months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 15 Months ]
    CSF = Cerebrospinal Fluid NfL = Neurofilament Light Chain

  3. Change from Baseline in Brain Atrophy Endpoints (e.g., Whole Brain Volume Decline, Caudate Volume Decline) as Determined by Brain MRI, at 3, 9, and 15 Months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 15 Months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Within-Participant Change from Baseline in CSF mHTT Levels at 3, 9, and 15 Months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 15 Months ]
    mHTT=Mutant Huntingtin Protein

  2. Association of Change from Baseline in Clinical Measures (cUHDRS, TFC, TMS, SDMT, SWR, and IS) at 3, 9, and 15 Months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 15 Months ]
  3. Association of Change from Baseline in Biomarkers of Neuronal Injury (e.g., CSF NfL and tau) at 3, 9, and 15 Months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 15 Months ]
  4. Association of Change from Baseline in Brain Atrophy Endpoints, as Determined by Brain MRI at 3, 9, and 15 Months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 15 Months ]

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any condition, including severe chorea, that would prevent either writing or performing pen and paper or smartphone-based tasks
  • History of attempted suicide or suicidal ideation with plan (i.e., active suicidal ideation) that required hospital visit and/or change in level of care within 12 months prior to screening
  • Current active psychosis, confusional state, or violent behavior
  • Any serious medical condition or clinically significant laboratory, vital sign, or electrocardiogram abnormalities at screening that, in the investigator's judgement, precludes the participant's safe participation in and completion of the study

  • History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy; platelet count < lower limit of normal unless stable and assessed by the Investigator and Sponsor Medical Monitor to be not clinically significant
  • Malignancy within 5 years prior to screening, except basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix that has been successfully treated
  • History of gene therapy or cell transplantation or any other experimental brain surgery
  • Concurrent or planned concurrent participation in any clinical study without approval of the Medical Monitor
