A Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Parallel Group Tolerability Study of Coenzyme Q10 (UbiquinonE)in PRE-manifest Huntington's Disease
To establish the tolerability of treatment with 600, 1200 or 2400 mg per day of coenzyme Q10
in pre-manifest participants carrying the CAGn expansion for Huntington's Disease (HD).
in pre-manifest participants carrying the CAGn expansion for Huntington's Disease (HD).
secondary objectives:
1. To assess the change from baseline to 20 weeks on biomarkers of oxidative stress (8OHdG
and 8OHrG) and DNA repair mechanisms (OGG1) in pre-manifest participants treated with
600, 1200 or 2400 mg per day of CoQ10.
2. To assess the dose-response relationship between CoQ10 at dosages of 600, 1200 or 2400
mg per day and 8OHdG/8OHrG and OGG1.
3. To assess the serum levels of CoQ10 at 600, 1200 or 2400 mg in pre-manifest participants
and their relationship to 8OHdG/8OHrG and OGG1.
4. To assess the feasibility of implementing a preventive therapeutic trial in a
pre-manifest population.
5. To assess the utility and stability of clinical measures of HD, social relations,
behavior and employment in a pre-manifest sample enrolled in a treatment trial.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants will be positive for the CAGn expansion in the Huntingtin gene (>36
repeats) and be pre-manifest by virtue of scoring 3 or less on diagnostic confidence
level (Question 17 of the UHDRS)
- Participants will have received genetic testing prior to enrollment through a standard
pre-manifest testing protocol.
- 18 years of age or older.
- Concomitant medications are permitted with the exception of CoQ10, creatine > 5g/day
and warfarin.
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of intolerability to CoQ10.
- CoQ10 use within 60 days prior to randomization.
- Unstable medical or psychiatric illness;
- Substance abuse within one year of the baseline visit.
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding or lack of reliable contraception in women of childbearing
age.
- Subjects with known allergy to FD&C #6 yellow food coloring.
