The study is a Phase 1/2 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).

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.
