The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of SD-809 extended release (ER) in participants switching from tetrabenazine to SD-809 ER. In addition, the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment with SD-809 ER will be assessed in "Switch" participants as well as "Rollover" participants completing a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study of SD-809 ER.

Motor function assessment includes total motor score (TMS) and TMC score. TMC score is determined from Item 12 (maximal chorea) of UHDRS TMS and quantifies chorea based on assessments of the face, bucco-oral-lingual area, trunk, and the 4 extremities. TMC score is a sum of chorea scores in the 7 body regions, ranging from 0 (absent chorea) to 28 (marked/prolonged chorea). Lower TMC scores indicated less chorea. | Baseline, Week 171 | |
| Secondary | Change From Week 8 in UHDRS Motor Assessment: TMC Score at Week 171 | UHDRS is a research tool developed by HD Study Group to provide a uniform assessment of clinical features and course of HD. Components of full UHDRS assess motor function, cognition, behaviour, functional abilities, independence scale and total functional capacities. Motor function assessment includes TMS and TMC score. TMC score is determined from Item 12 (maximal chorea) of UHDRS TMS and quantifies chorea based on assessments of the face, bucco-oral-lingual area, trunk, and the 4 extremities. TMC score is a sum of chorea scores in the 7 body regions, ranging from 0(absent chorea) to 28 (marked/prolonged chorea). Lower TMC scores indicated less chorea. Data was measured and available for total safety population. Data was not available by individual cohorts (rollover cohort and switch cohort) from Week 8 to Week 171, as was done for change from baseline. Therefore, in order to present results data for this outcome measure, the total, combined safety population treatment arm was used. | Week 8, Week 171 | |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in UHDRS Motor Assessment: Total Motor Score (TMS) at Week 171 | UHDRS is a research tool developed by HD Study Group to provide a uniform assessment of the clinical features and course of HD. Components of the full UHDRS assess motor function, cognition, behaviour, functional abilities, independence scale and total functional capacities. Motor function assessment includes TMS and TMC score. The UHDRS TMS assesses all the motor features of HD and includes maximal chorea, maximal dystonia, ocular pursuit, saccade initiation and velocity, dysarthria, tongue protrusion, finger tapping, hand pronation and supination, luria, rigidity, bradykinesia, gait, tandem walking, and retropulsion pull test. Each of these was rated on a scale of 0 (normal motor function) to 4 (severely impaired motor function). TMS score is a sum of individual scores ranging from 0 (normal motor function) to 124 (severely impaired motor function). Lower TMS scores indicate better motor function. | Baseline, Week 171 | |
