AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults with Huntington's disease at stage 2 or early stage 3. It tests the safety and effects of ALN-HTT02.

Age
25 Years to 70 Years
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
Stage 2 or early Stage 3 Huntington's disease, by the Huntington's Disease Integrated Staging System (HD-ISS).
Earlier treatment
Cannot have received an investigational agent within the last 1 year or 5 half-lives (if known).

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Significant structural or degenerative brain or nerve disease other than Huntington's disease
  • Weakened immune system from infections, medical conditions, or long-term therapies
  • Alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase above 2× the upper limit of normal
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 60 mL/min/1.73m^2
  • Investigational agent received within the last 1 year or 5 half-lives (if known)

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single or repeat doses of ALN-HTT02.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • ALN-HTT02Treatment being tested

    Participants will be administered a single dose of ALN-HTT02 during the Double-blind Part of the study. Participants who received ALN-HTT02 in the Double-blind part of the study will not receive an additional dose during the Open-label Part of the study. Participants have the option to receive repeat doses of ALN-HTT02 in the Open-label Extension (OLE) Part of the study.

  • Placebo + ALN-HTT02Placebo, for comparison

    Participants will be administered a single dose of placebo during the Double-blind Part of the study. Participants will have the option to receive a single dose of ALN-HTT02 during the Open-label Part of the study. Participants have the option to receive repeat doses of ALN-HTT02 in the OLE Part of the study.

    Treatment: ALN-HTT02 and Placebo

Questions to ask the study team

  1. How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
  2. Are travel costs paid?
  3. Can I keep my own doctor?
  4. What happens if I want to stop?
