A Multi-Site, Prospective, Longitudinal, Cohort Study Measuring Cerebrospinal Fluid-Mutant Huntingtin Protein in Patients With Huntington's Disease
The study is designed as a multi-site, prospective, 15-month longitudinal, cohort study
measuring CSF mHTT in participants with early manifest Stage I or Stage II Huntington's
disease (HD).
measuring CSF mHTT in participants with early manifest Stage I or Stage II Huntington's
disease (HD).

testing)
- Body mass index ≥18 and ≤32 kg/m2; total body weight >50 kg

ideation) that required hospital visit and/or change in level of care within 12 months
prior to screening
- Current active psychosis, confusional state, or violent behavior
- Any serious medical condition or clinically significant laboratory, vital sign, or
electrocardiogram abnormalities at screening that, in the investigator's judgement,
precludes the participant's safe participation in and completion of the study

anticipated use during the study, including, but not limited, to aspirin (unless
≤81mg/day), clopidogrel, dipyridamole, warfarin, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban
- History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy; platelet count < lower limit of normal
unless stable and assessed by the Investigator and Sponsor Medical Monitor to be not
clinically significant
- Malignancy within 5 years prior to screening, except basal or squamous cell carcinoma
of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix that has been successfully treated
- History of gene therapy or cell transplantation or any other experimental brain
surgery
