Evaluating ALN-HTT02 for treating Huntington's disease in adults
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study, to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Intrathecally Administered Single Ascending Doses of ALN-HTT02 in Adult Patients With Huntington's Disease
Run by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals · NCT06585449 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new drug called ALN-HTT02 to see if it is safe and effective for adults with early-stage Huntington's disease.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults with stage 2 or early stage 3 Huntington's disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant neurological diseases other than Huntington's or those with severe immune compromise may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of ALN-HTT02 in adult patients diagnosed with stage 2 or early stage 3 Huntington's disease. Participants will receive either the investigational drug or a placebo to determine its effects. The study will closely monitor participants for any adverse reactions and measure how the drug is processed in the body. The findings could provide insights into the potential of ALN-HTT02 as a treatment option for Huntington's disease.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with Huntington's disease, potentially slowing disease progression.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach using siRNA is innovative, similar studies targeting genetic mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases have shown promise.
