PRECISION-HD1 is testing a new drug that selectively lowers the mutant Huntington’s disease protein, whilst leaving the normal huntingtin protein relatively untouched. In order to be able to identify the gene with the mutant Huntingtin, they use a unique method and identify a so-called SNPs. Wave has identified two different snips that helps locate the mutant Huntingtin and therefore there are two studies (Presicion HD 1 and Presicion HD 2) with the same treatment, where the only difference is the targeted SNP. The primary objective is to understand whether the drug is safe in a small number of volunteers, before testing in a larger population and collecting evidence that the drug may work. The total of 60 participants receive either placebo or different dosages of the active drug every 4 weeks. Both the active drug and the placebo is delivered through a spinal injections. 

Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2020
