NCT05686551 · Phase 2 · ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING

GENERATION HD2. A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Biomarkers, and Efficacy of Tominersen Compared With Placebo in Participants With Prodromal and Early Manifest Huntington's Disease

This trial is testing tominersen, a drug injected into the spinal fluid, against a placebo in people with prodromal or early Huntington's Disease. The goal is to see whether it is safe and whether it slows disease progression. This is a Phase 2 trial, meaning researchers are still gathering evidence on whether it works — it is not approved or proven.
