Clinical trials

This is a FIH (first-in-human) study to evaluate the clinical utility of the radioligand \[11C\]CHDI-00491009 as a PET tracer that binds specifically to mutant huntingtin (mHTT) aggregates in Huntington's disease (HD). The study is divided into three cohorts defined by the Huntington's Disease Integrated Staging System (HD-ISS): Cohort 1 - initial tracer validation (3 healthy controls (HCs)); Cohort 2 - target validation and test-retest variability (6 HD-ISS Stage 3 participants and 6 age and biological sex-matched HCs); Cohort 3 - target sensitivity (6 HD-ISS Stage 2 participants and 6 age and biological sex-matched HCs). An interim analysis (IA) will be conducted after the completion of each cohort, followed by a final analysis for the study. In addition to imaging, exploratory biomarkers, including somatic instability index, soluble mHTT and total huntingtin (HTT), will be assessed. All participants with HD (PwHD) will have an additional blood sample drawn at the screening visit to assess the somatic instability index and will also be invited to provide an optional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample for measurement of soluble mHTT and total HTT.

Enroll-HD is a longitudinal, observational, multinational study that integrates two former Huntington's disease (HD) registries-REGISTRY in Europe, and COHORT in North America and Australasia-while also expanding to include sites in Latin America. More than 30,000 participants have now enrolled into the study. With annual assessments and no end date, Enroll-HD has built a large and rich database of longitudinal clinical data and biospecimens that form the basis for studies developing tools and biomarkers for progression and prognosis, identifying clinically-relevant phenotypic characteristics, and establishing clearly defined endpoints for interventional studies. Periodic cuts of the database are now available to any interested researcher to use in their research - visit www.enroll-hd.org/for-researchers/access-data/ to learn more.
