Clinical Research

Roche Announces Discontinuation of Two Huntington Disease Clinical Programs

Roche has announced the discontinuation of huntingtin-lowering drugs tominersen and RG649 based on independent, data-driven decisions. The Phase 2 study GENERATION HD2 evaluated tominersen in Huntington disease (HD) and enrolled 301 participants across 15 countries, including Canada. The POINT-HD study, a first-in-human study of RG6496 in HD, was open internationally, with planned expansion into Canada. This study will no longer take place. We recognize that this may still be disappointing news and encourage you to access support. Please reach out to your Family Services team member for assistance.
