The experimental therapy ANX005 safely leads to stabilization or improvements in functional capacity for early Huntington’s disease patients or those at risk for the neurodegenerative disease, according to final data from a Phase 2a clinical trial.
Given these positive results, a Phase 2/3 trial to evaluate ANX005 in patients with early-stage Huntington’s is planned for later this year, according to Rajeev Kumar, MD, one of the trial’s investigators and medical director of the Rocky Mountain Movement Disorders Center. Kumar also is the founding director of the Movement Disorders Foundation.
