The UHDRS was a clinical rating scale which has been developed by the Huntington Disease Study Group (HSG) to provide a uniform assessment of the clinical features and course of Huntington's Disease (HD). The components of the full UHDRS assess motor function, cognition, behavior and functional abilities. The total motor score (TMS) assessed motor features of HD with standardized ratings of oculomotor function, dysarthria, chorea, dystonia, gait, and postural stability. Some items (such as chorea and dystonia) required grading each extremity (face, bucco-oral-lingual, and trunk) separately. Eye movements require both horizontal and vertical grades. The total motor impairment scores was the sum of all the individual 31 motor sub-items (each rated from 0 to 4), with higher scores indicating more severe motor impairment than lower scores. The range of TMS is 0-124.
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence without regard to causality in a participant who received study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of treatment and up to the follow-up period that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both SAEs and non-serious AEs.
The following laboratory parameters were analyzed: hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell \[RBC\] count, platelet count, white blood cell \[WBC\] count, total neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils, lymphocytes); blood chemistry (blood urea nitrogen \[BUN\], creatinine, glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, total bicarbonate, aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\], alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\], total and direct bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, uric acid, albumin, and total protein; urinalysis (pH, glucose, protein/albumin, hemoglobin/blood, ketones/acetone, nitrites, leukocyte esterase, microscopy \[if urine dipstick was positive for blood, protein, nitrites or leukocyte esterase\]); others (urine/serum pregnancy test, glycosylated hemoglobin \[HbA1c, if diabetic\]).
Vital signs assessment included pulse rate and blood pressure. Criteria for vital sign values meeting potential clinical concern included: supine/sitting pulse rate less than (\<)40 or greater than (\>)120 beats per minute (bpm), standing pulse rate \<40 or \>140 bpm; systolic blood pressure (SBP) of greater than or equal to (\>=)30 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) change from baseline or SBP \<90 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) \>=20 mmHg change from baseline or DBP \<50 mmHg.
ECG parameters included PR interval, QRS complex, and corrected QT interval using Fridericia's formula (QTcF). Criteria for ECG changes meeting potential clinical concern included: PR interval ≥200 milliseconds (msec) or ≥25% increase when baseline is \>100 msec; QRS interval ≥50% increase from baseline when baseline is less than or equal to (\<=)200 msec; and QTcF ≥450 msec or ≥30 msec increase from baseline.
Weight assessment was performed by a study physician or a trained study nurse and was included in the physical examination.
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and WBC were monitored for safety. Participants with WBC \<3000 but \>=2000 cells/mm\^3 or ANC \<1500 but \>=1000 cells/mm\^3 were to have study treatment suspended. Participants with WBC \<2000 or ANC \<1000 cells/mm\^3 were to be discontinued from study participation.
The UHDRS is a clinical rating scale to provide a uniform assessment of the clinical features and course of Huntington Disease. The Total Motor Score (TMS) is 1 of the 6 components of UHDRS, includes 31 items, and ranges from a scale of 0 to 124 (higher scores indicate more severe disease).
C-SSRS is a participant rated questionnaire to assess suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, actual attempts (yes or no responses), and intensity of ideation (rated 1=low severity to 5=high severity). Yes/No responses are mapped to Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA) categories: completed suicide, suicide attempt, preparatory acts towards imminent suicidal behavior, suicidal ideation, and self-injurious behavior, or no suicidal intent. A participant could have a yes or no response in more than 1 category.

PANSS assesses the positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and general psychopathology specifically associated with schizophrenia. The scale consists of 30 items. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (symptom not present) to 7 (symptoms extremely severe). The sum of the 30 items is defined as the PANSS total score and ranges from 30 to 210; higher score indicates greater severity.
Participants were assessed for presence of symptoms for any one of the following: dystonia, oromandibular dystonia, and oculogyric crisis.

PF-02545920 is an investigational small molecule being studied for use in Huntington's disease and schizophrenia. Clinical trials have evaluated the drug in patients with these conditions, as well as in healthy volunteers, to assess its safety, tolerability, and effects on brain function.
PF-02545920 is being developed by Pfizer, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PFE. The company has sponsored multiple clinical trials investigating the drug for neurological and psychiatric conditions.
PF-02545920 has been studied in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials. The trials listed are all completed, with no active trials currently ongoing. The drug remains investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities for any indication.
PF-02545920 has been evaluated in four completed clinical trials. These include NCT00463372 and NCT01829048 in schizophrenia, and NCT01806896 and NCT02197130 in Huntington's disease. The trials assessed safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy, with total enrollment of 336 participants across all studies.
PF-02545920 is sometimes referred to as PF-0254920 in clinical trial records. For example, NCT01806896, a study in early Huntington's disease, uses the name PF-0254920 in its title. Both names refer to the same investigational drug being developed by Pfizer.
