PROOF-HD is a Phase 3 clinical study that evaluates the efficacy and safety of pridopidine in patients with early stage of Huntington Disease. Pridopidine is a small molecule developed by Prilenia for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as HD.

According to Prilenia, the Pridopidine is an oral drug administered in a small easy-to-swallow capsule twice a day, which enters the brain and spinal cord, where it activates a protein called the sigma-1 receptor (S1R). Activation of the S1R by pridopidine enhances the clearance of toxic proteins, enhances energy production, and reduces cellular stress and inflammation. These mechanisms are crucial for a neuron’s function and survival.

Pridopidine

Pridopidine is an oral drug currently in development for the treatment of Huntington’s disease and ALS. It is administered in a small easy-to-swallow capsule twice a day.

Multiple clinical studies have been conducted providing important understanding about pridopidine’s safety, mechanism of action, and efficacy. (From www.prilenia.com)

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study’s objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.
