Enroll-HD is a worldwide observational study for Huntington’s disease families. The study has three main goals:
- To better understand HD as it happens in people to give insight into developing new drugs
- To improve the design of clinical trials to rapidly provide clear outcomes – better, smarter, faster clinical trials will identify effective treatments as quickly as possible
- To improve clinical care for HD patients by identifying the best clinical practices across all Enroll-HD sites around the world and ensure that all families receive that standard of care
Enroll-HD is also intended as a clinical research platform that will help coordinate and expedite experimental medicine studies, biomarker development, and clinical assessments for HD.
