Active clinical trials for "Huntington Disease"

This study is a 26 week, randomized, parallel group, double blind comparison of PF-02545920 5 mg, PF-02545920 20 mg, and placebo dosed BID in the treatment of motor impairment of subjects with Huntington's Disease. A total of approximately 260 subjects are planned to be randomized in the study. Primary endpoint is the change from baseline in the Total Motor Score (TMS) assessment of the Unified Huntington Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) after 26 weeks of treatment. secondary endpoints will include change from baseline in the Total Maximum Chorea (TMC) score of the UHDRS after 13 and 26 weeks of treatment and Clinical Global Impression-Improvement score after 13 and 26 weeks of treatment.

This is a trial in healthy volunteers to study the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple escalating doses of SEN0014196.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an incurable and fatal disorder characterised by progressive degeneration of the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex. Contrary to earlier thinking, HD is associated with abnormalities in peripheral tissues which might even contribute to brain pathology including muscle wasting, mitochondrial abnormalities, and impaired muscle energy metabolism. Mitochondrial impairment and muscle atrophy in human HD patients and murine models of HD are associated with altered expression of PGC-1a, a transcriptional cofactor that seems to regulate many, if not all of the adaptations of muscle fibres to chronic endurance training, and induces improved exercise performance and increased peak oxygen uptake. We aim at investigating whether endurance exercise has the capability of stabilizing and / or reversing PGC-1a dependent alterations of muscle function and structure in HD patients, and whether muscle training ameliorates musculoskeletal and cardiovascular function, as well as motor and cognitive symptoms in HD patients.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to extend the Pre-Crest study (Protocol # (NCT00592995) to further assess the long-term safety and tolerability of up to 30 grams daily creatine in individuals at-risk for Huntington's Disease (HD) and to assess whether biomarkers responsive to creatine in symptomatic individuals are informative in premanifest individuals over a longer duration.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to extend the Pre-Crest-X study to further assess the long-term safety and tolerability of up to 30 grams daily creatine in individuals at-risk for Huntington's Disease (HD) and to assess whether biomarkers responsive to creatine in symptomatic individuals are informative in premanifest individuals over a longer duration.

Cellavita HD is a stem-cell therapy for Huntington's Disease. This is a prospective, phase II, single-center, randomized (2:2:1), triple-blind, placebo controlled study, with two test doses of Cellavita HD product.

The purpose of this research study is to study the safety and efficacy of fenofibrate, an FDA-approved drug for high cholesterol and/or elevated triglycerides (fats), as a treatment for Huntington's disease (HD). Subjects who meet the entry criteria will be randomized (3:1) to either 145mg of fenofibrate or placebo.

The purpose of this study is to determine if ACR16 is effective and safe in the symptomatic treatment of Huntington's Disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Dimebon is safe and effective for the treatment of cognitive impairment in Huntington disease.

This study is being conducted to determine the safety and tolerability of Dimebon in people with Huntington's disease after short-term exposure (one week) and after longer exposure (three months). Also, the study will assess whether or not there is an effect of Dimebon on the symptoms of Huntington's disease, including cognitive (thinking abilities), motor (movement), behavior, and overall functioning.
