A Phase 2, to Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Pridopidine Vs Placebo for Symptomatic Treatment in Patients With Huntington's Disease

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Huntington's Disease
Interventions
Other: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02006472
Lead Sponsor
Prilenia
Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, multinational, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose range finding study to compare the efficacy and safety of different doses of pridopidine versus placebo in the treatment of motor impairment in Huntington's Disease (HD).

Detailed Description

Originally, the study was designed to assess the effect of pridopidine on motor function at 26 weeks. Due to the recognition that the primary target of pridopidine is the Sigma-1 receptor, the trial was extended from 26 to 52 weeks to evaluate the effect of pridopidine on Total Functional Capacity (TFC). A minimum of 52 weeks are needed for the placebo group to decline and allow a window to assess an effect on TFC (a prespecified endpoint). Approximately 20% of patients completed 26 weeks of the study before IRB approvals for this extension, and did not continue into the 2nd treatment period up to 52 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale-Total Motor Score (UHDRS-TMS) at Week 2626 weeks

TMS was defined as the sum of all UHDRS motor domains ratings. The motor section of the UHDRS assesses motor features of Huntington's Disease (HD) with standardized ratings of oculo-motor function, dysarthria, chorea, dystonia, gait, and postural stability. Each of 15 assessments is rated on a scale of 0 (normal) to 4 (marked impairment) for a TMS range of 0-124. Negative change from baseline values indicate improvement.
