Find this study on clinicaltrials.gov and the enroll-hd website.
Sponsor | University College London / CHDI Foundation |
The Study | A longitudinal open-ended observational study that builds on data from Enroll-HD to evaluate biomarkers (characteristics of the body that can be measured) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of people with HD. |
Main Goals | Identify and validate biomarkers to track disease progression, and response to treatment |
Who can participate? | • Enroll-HD participants ages 18 - 75 with a known HD gene status, or control participants • Juvenile HD participants ages ≥ 11 |
What is required of participants? | • Screening process to ensure eligibility • Participation in Enroll-HD • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) up to 20 ml via lumbar puncture • Blood sample of approximately 50 ml |
Frequency of Participation | • Two annual visits with screening via blood sample and sampling of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) • Scheduling can be coordinated with annual Enroll-HD visit |
