Experimental gene therapy slowed progression in Huntington's disease

Preliminary result

An early result that has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal, or comes from a small, uncontrolled study. Treat it with caution.

Results were announced for the high dose of the experimental gene therapy coded AMT-130. In patients who received this dose, the disease progressed more slowly over three years. Progression was about 75% slower than in the comparison group. The comparison did not use a concurrent placebo group. Instead, an external control group was built from natural history data. The results are preliminary. A peer-reviewed publication is awaited.

What does it mean for patients and families?

This treatment is not yet approved. People with Huntington's disease and their families can follow developments with their neurology teams.
