Enroll -HD: A Prospective Registry Study in a Global Huntington's Disease Cohort
Noopur Modi - Info@Enroll-HD.org
• Carriers: This group comprises the primary study population and consists of individuals who carry the HD gene expansion mutation.
• Controls: This group comprises the comparator study population and consists of individuals who do not carry the HD expansion mutation. These two major categories can be further subdivided into six different subgroups of eligible individuals:
• Manifest/Motor-manifest HD: Carriers with clinical features that are regarded in the opinion of the investigator as diagnostic of HD.
• Pre-Manifest/-Motor-manifest HD: Carriers without clinical features regarded as diagnostic of HD.
• Genotype Unknown: This group includes a first or second degree relative (i.e., related by blood to a carrier) who has not undergone predictive testing for HD and therefore has an undetermined carrier status.
• Genotype Negative: This group includes a first or second degree relative (i.e., related by blood to a carrier) who has undergone predictive testing for HD and is known not to carry the HD expansion mutation.
• Family Control: Family members or individuals not related by blood to carriers (e.g., spouses, partners, caregivers).
• Community Controls: Individuals unrelated to HD carriers who did not grow up in a family affected by HD. Data collected from community controls will be used for generation of normative data for sub-studies. Participant status will be captured in the study database using 2 variables: 1) Investigator Determined Status: this will be based on clinical signs and symptoms and genotyping performed as part of medical care, and will be updated at every visit; and 2) Research Genotyping Status: this will be based on genotyping conducted as part of Enroll-HD study procedures. Based on research genotyping, participants will be reclassified under this variable from Genotype Unknown to 'Carriers' or 'Controls'. Investigators and participants will be blinded to this reclassification.
• Individuals who do not meet inclusion criteria,
• Individuals with choreic movement disorders in the context of a negative test for the HD gene mutation.
• For Community Controls: those individuals with a major central nervous system disorder will be excluded (e.g. stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, etc.). Participants under 18 may be eligible to participate (if they have juvenile-onset HD).

Approved forms of contraception include hormonal intrauterine devices, hormonal contraceptives (oral birth control pills, Depo-Provera?, patch, or other injectables) together with supplementary double-barrier methods, such as condoms or diaphragms with spermicidal gel or foam. The following categories define females who are NOT considered to be of childbearing potential:

• Postmenopausal females, defined as having amenorrhea for at least 12 months without an alternative medical cause;
• Males, except those who are surgically sterile, must use an approved highly effective form of contraception during the 3 days after any study drug administration; and
• Signed written informed consent.

In patients treated with a chronic prophylactic drug for PSVT (e.g., beta-blockers, verapamil, and diltiazem), the drug may be stopped for at least the equivalent of 5 half-lives and patients may be rescreened once;
• History of severe symptoms of hypotension, especially syncope, during episodes of PSVT;

• Evidence of renal dysfunction as determined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate assessed at the Screening Visit as follows:
• <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients <60 years of age;

• Evidence or history of any significant physical or psychiatric condition including drug abuse, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could jeopardize the safety of patients, or affect their participation in the study. Additionally, the Investigator has the ability to exclude a patient if for any reason the Investigator judges the patient is not a good candidate for the study or will not be able to follow study procedures;
• Current participation in any investigational drug or device study or the use of any investigational drug or device within 30 days of the Screening Visit. Before randomization, all patients will receive a test dose of etripamil NS 70 mg to evaluate tolerability and to train patients for the procedures. A failure of the test dose is considered if patients meet any of the following criteria occurring after administration of the etripamil NS 70 mg test dose:
• Any symptoms consistent with clinically severe hypotension such as pre-syncope, medically significant lightheadedness, syncope, nausea, or vomiting;
• For patients with a pre-test dose Systolic Blood Pressure above 100 mmHg:
• Decrease in SBP ?40 mmHg after test dose; or
• Post-test dose SBP <80 mmHg;
• For patients with a pre-test dose SBP between 90 mmHg and 100 mmHg (inclusive): a) Post-test dose SBP <75 mmHg;
• Third-degree AV block, Mobitz II second-degree AV block, or Wenckebach with bradycardia ?40 bpm;
• New, significant sinus bradycardia Heart Rate ?40 bpm or sinus pauses (?3 seconds), if considered by the Investigator to put the patient's safety at risk if either were to occur while not under medical supervision;
• Any new significant ventricular arrhythmia (premature ventricular beats and couplets [>6 premature ventricular contractions per 45 seconds ECG] are considered significant); and
• Atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (event lasting longer than 30 seconds). Patients who fail the test dose will proceed in the study as follows:
• If the Investigator identifies a possible reversible cause of the initial test dose failure (e.g., concomitant medication such as beta-blocker), a re-challenge with a new test dose of etripamil NS 70 mg will be possible after elimination of the reversible cause (e.g., withdrawal of concomitant therapy with the appropriate washout period). Patients may be randomized if they pass the second test dose and the cause of the test dose failure is eliminated for the duration of the study; or
• If the Investigator cannot identify a reversible cause of the initial test dose failure, or if the potential cause cannot be modified (e.g., necessary antihypertensive drug to control blood pressure), patients will not be randomized and will complete a Final Study Visit. Patients who fail the test dose will be part of the Test Dose Only Population, including all patients who received at least 1 test dose of etripamil NS 70 mg
