The study is a Phase 1b/2a and will look at the safety and how participants tolerate a new antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) in early stage disease, called WVE-003.

WVE-003 is a new investigational molecule that tries to reduce the toxic mHTT protein (while avoiding targeting the healthy, wild-type huntingtin protein, and preserving its beneficial effects in the central nervous system).

In the second quarter of 2023, Wave initiated the multi-dose portion of the trial. At this stage of the study, the company is enrolling existing participants from the single-dose portion of the trial and also screening new participants. Wave will be sharing additional single dose data and any available multidose data in the second half of 2023.

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.
