Back to map

Sponsored by Teva Branded Pharmaceutical Products, R&D Inc.

This trial offers continued treatment (involving pridopidine) to HD patients who previously completed the HART or the PRIDE-HD trial including the follow-up period, and remained on drug during the full on treatment part of the trial, and who have wished to continue their treatment.

Status
This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.

 

Formal Name
A multi-center, North American, open-label extension study of pridopidine (ACR16) in the symptomatic treatment of Huntington’s Disease (Open-HART)

Study Type
Interventional

Purpose
Huntington disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder causing impairment in movement, behavioral dysfunction and dementia. The movement disorder is mainly characterized by chorea (involuntary movements) and a progressive loss of voluntary movement causing a substantial functional impairment over time. The study will assess the long-term safety of pridopidine and the treatment effects during long-term, open-label treatment.
