WAVE PRECISION-HD

Sponsored by WAVE Life Sciences.

WAVE PRECISION-HD1 and PRECISION-HD2 was discontinued on March 29, 2021. For more information please click here.

This clinical trial is testing a new drug that selectively lowers the mutant Huntington’s disease protein, whilst leaving the normal huntingtin protein relatively untouched. This study is only for patients who have a positive HD genetic result and are confirmed to carry SNP1 (PRECISION-HD1) or SNP2 (PRECISION-HD2). The primary objective is to understand whether the drug is safe in a small number of volunteers, before testing in a larger population and collecting evidence that the drug may work. The medication will be injected into the CSF by lumbar puncture.

 

Status
Study Closed – Not Recruiting

Formal/Alternative Name
PRECISION-HD1: WVE-120101
PRECISION-HD2: WVE-120102

Study Type
Interventional

Purpose
PRECISION-HD1 will test the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinestics and pharmacodynamics of of single and multiple doses of WVE-120101 in adult patients with early manifest HD who carry a targeted single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs362307 (SNP1).

PRECISION-HD2 will test the tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple doses of WVE-120102 in adult patients with early manifest HD who carry a targeted single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs362331 (SNP2).
