DESCRIPTION

Researchers at Roche are conducting a large, multi-center Phase 3 trial of a drug designed to reduce symptoms of Huntington’s Disease (HD). The drug binds to the molecules that instruct cells to make huntingtin protein, which causes the neurological symptoms of the disease. By binding to huntingtin, the drug reduces the symptoms.

The clinical trial seeks a large number of patients with active HD who will be assigned to either placebo treatment or the actual drug. Both groups of patients receive a spinal injection of the treatment every 4 weeks or every 8 weeks, with follow up for ~2 years every ~4 months.

PATIENT MUST:

• Be 25 to 65 years of age
• Have a genetically confirmed diagnosis of Huntington’s Disease
• Clinical assessment to ensure individual has intact functional independence at baseline to maintain self-care and core activities of daily living (ADLs).

THE STUDY INVOLVES:

1. Prescreening tests to confirm eligibility and safety of the patient to participate.
2. Weekly intrathecal (into the spine) injections every 4 or 8 weeks for many weeks
3. Follow up every 4 months for at least 2 years

LOCATIONS AND CONTACTS:

The study site is at 19 different locations nationwide.
