OUR LATEST NEWS

Do you know what you don't know about Huntington's Disease (HD)?

Different stories bring different perspectives and they all add up to what it can be like to cope with HD.

🤝 During the EHA Conference 2023 in Belgium, we had a dedicated session to present the many faces of HD. This was one of the highlights of the conference, as the attendees had the privilege to listen to the real-life experiences of brave HD advocates about being gene-positive, gene-negative, dealing with HD symptoms, caring for someone with HD, and being a person at risk.
💚 Thank you to Bruce, Javier, Rob, Saija and Tess for sharing their inspiring stories with us!

Webinar with Roche: Why do we need a second Generation HD trial?

The European Huntington Association, in collaboration with Roche, organized a webinar on January 9th to discuss the updates on the GENERATION HD2 clinical trial and address all the questions about why this trial is needed.
 
💙 We want to thank the webinar speakers Professor Sarah Tabrizi (UCL) and Doctor Peter McColgan (MD PhD) from Roche, for their great presentation and valuable information. We would also like to thank the 100 attendees for their participation during the webinar.

UniQure news: Promising signs of efficacy for gene theraphy

On December 20th, Uniqure released updates from their trial where the gene therapy AMT130 is being tested. Up to 30 months after the one-time dosing has been given, the trial participants who have received the lowest dosing show signs that they maintain functions compared to people in the same disease stage who haven’t received the treatment.

“This is great news to get towards the end of the year. I am hopeful that 2024 will bring more progress for this project as well for the other HD trials and that we will take important steps towards getting treatments to patients.” – says Astri Arnesen, president of EHA.
