入选标准

  • Able to provide informed consent
  • Huntingtin gene expansion carrier with >= 39 CAG repeats
  • Absence of unequivocal motor signs of HD - that is, UHDRS
  • Diagnostic Confidence Level needs to be <4 upon enrolment
  • Expected to develop clinical HD within 10 years of trial enrolment using the Langbehn formula
  • Availability of an informant for corroborative history
  • Negative serum pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential
  • If of childbearing potential, is able and agrees to remain abstinent or use adequate contraceptive methods
  • Ability to tolerate MRI scans
  • Ability to tolerate blood draws

  • In the opinion of the investigator, medically, psychiatrically and neurologically stable at the time of enrolment

排除标准

  • Diagnosis of clinical HD
  • Known hypersensitivity to NAC
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding or intention to do so prior to the end of the study
  • Exposure to any investigational drugs within 30 days of Baseline Visit

  • History of gene therapy, cell transplantation, or any experimental brain surgery
  • History of attempted suicide or suicidal ideation within 12 months prior to screening
