Antisense Oligonucleotide Treatment of Huntington’s Disease: A Novel Potential Treatment

In this Phase I/IIa clinical trial, investigators administered antisense huntingtin oligonucleotides intrathecally to patients with early Huntington’s disease (HD), and demonstrated safety, tolerability, and dose-dependent reduction in CSF mutant huntingtin. This approach now is being tested for clinical efficacy in HD in a Phase III clinical trial.
