Longitudinal Assessment of Brain Structure and Function in Juvenile-onset Huntington's Disease
The goal of this observational study is to learn about brain development in Juvenile-onset Huntington's Disease (JoHD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Is brain development different in JoHD than Adult-onset Huntington's Disease (AoHD)? Can reliable biomarkers for JoHD be found in brain structure and function? Participants will …
Child to Adult Neurodevelopment in Gene Expanded Huntington's Disease
Huntington's Disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant disease manifested in a triad of cognitive, psychiatric, and motor signs and symptoms. HD is caused by a triplet repeat (CAG)expansion in the gene Huntingtin (HTT). This disease has classically been conceptualized as a neurodegenerative disease. However, recent evidence suggests that abnormal brain …
Extracellular Vesicles for HD
The primary objective of this study is to discover blood-based biomarker of brain Huntingtin (HTT) protein using extracellular vesicles to be used in evaluating target engagement in HTT lowering clinical trials. Secondary objectives of this study include developing more accurate biomarkers of Huntington disease (HD) progression or conversion and to …
IMarkHD: in Vivo Longitudinal Imaging of HD Pathology
iMarkHD is an adaptive, longitudinal positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging study in Huntington's disease (HD) that aims to assess abnormal molecular, functional, and structural changes in participants' brains, ranging from several years before symptom onset to the advanced symptom stage. The study will be conducted over …
Prospective Single-Timepoint Huntington's Disease Biospecimen Collection Study
OBJECTIVES The primary study objective is to collect blood from participants with Huntington's Disease in order to validate a CE marked Cytosine, Adenine, Guanine (CAG) assay for use in future studies for Huntington's Disease. The secondary study objective is to create a biorepository that can be used to identify disease …
Gut Microbiomes in HD
The purpose of this study is to find out if there is a connection between the naturally occurring bacteria in our bodies and the progression of Huntington disease. The investigators are trying to determine if patients who are diagnosed with adult-onset HD and who exhibit a rapid rate of disease …
Cognitive Assessment Tools for Huntington's Disease.
The purpose of the current proposal is to expand understanding of two currently available cognitive tools that are not typically used in Huntington Disease (HD) clinical trials that might be useful both for initial screening and for clinical trial application. One is the Coding Test and the other is the …
Huntington's Disease Biobank: Advancing Remote Monitoring and Deep Phenotyping
This observational study aims to identify novel biomarkers of disease onset and progression in Huntington's disease by integrating remote monitoring with fluid biomarkers. Using video-based computer vision and mobile app-based cognitive assessments combined with machine learning algorithms, we aim to develop markers that can be used by Huntington's disease patients …
Digital Measures for Clinical Trial Endpoints in Huntington's Disease
MEND-HD is a longitudinal study evaluating the feasibility of passive monitoring of gait and chorea in patients with HD and the meaningfulness of these outcomes for patients with HD and their care partners/support persons. Participants will take part in four virtual visits with study investigators to answer survey questions on …
Behind the Needle: Healthcare Professionals' Perspectives on HD Needling
Haemodialysis is essential for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), requiring consistent vascular access through arteriovenous fistulas or grafts. This involves frequent needling, a procedure that is painful and distressing for many patients, causing significant emotional and physical demands on healthcare professionals working in the dialysis units. In the UK, …
