    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events (TEAEs) [Up to approximately 28 weeks]

      An adverse event (AE) was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the study or use of investigational drug product, whether or not the AE was considered related to the investigational drug product. An AE was to be regarded as a TEAE if it was present prior to receiving the first dose of Study Drug and subsequently worsened or was not present prior to receiving the first dose of Study Drug but subsequently appeared.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Observed Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Concentration for ISIS 443139 [Days 1, 29, 57, 85, and 113 or 141]

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for ISIS 443139 [Days 1 and 85]

    2. Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) for ISIS 443139 [Days 1 and 85]

    3. Change From Baseline in CSF Mutant Huntingtin (fM) Protein Concentration [Baseline to Final Assessment (Day 85 or 113)]

      Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measure prior to the first dose.

    4. Change From Baseline in CSF Neurofilament Light Chain Concentration [Baseline to Final Assessment (Day 85 or 113)]

      Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measure prior to the first dose.

    5. Ventricular Volume as Assessed by Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) [Screening, Days 113, and 197]

    6. Huntington's Disease (HD) Cognitive Assessment Battery Composite Score [Baseline to Days 84, 141, and 197]

      The HD Cognitive Battery was developed as a means of measuring cognitive dysfunction in late premanifest and early manifest HD patients. The 6 tests that comprise the battery were selected based on test sensitivity, practice effects, reliability, domain coverage, feasibility for use in clinical trials, and tolerability. A composite cognitive score was calculated by the average z-score of the 6 individual tests. A positive change from baseline indicated improvement in cognitive function; a negative change indicated worsening. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measure prior to the first dose.

    8. Other Pre-specified Outcome
    Title Huntington's Disease (HD) Cognitive Assessment Battery Composite Score
    Description The HD Cognitive Battery was developed as a means of measuring cognitive dysfunction in late premanifest and early manifest HD patients. The 6 tests that comprise the battery were selected based on test sensitivity, practice effects, reliability, domain coverage, feasibility for use in clinical trials, and tolerability. A composite cognitive score was calculated by the average z-score of the 6 individual tests. A positive change from baseline indicated improvement in cognitive function; a negative change indicated worsening. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing measure prior to the first dose.
