GENERATION-HD1 Trial Halted

Roche have announced the very unwelcome news that they are halting their GENERATION – HD1 phase III antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapy trial (22 March 2021). The trial was established to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tominersen, previously known as IONIS-HTTRx or RG604, in people showing Huntington’s disease symptoms. 

Roche have stated that the trial has been halted on the advice of the Independent Data Monitoring Committee. This is a group of completely independent experts whose job is to monitor and decide whether the trial should continue.

At the moment, the information we have is limited. HD Buzz recommend we ‘tune out of any noise for now’ and wait for reliable experts to keep us informed. Please get in touch if you need support.

We recommend you read the HDBuzz article about the announcement here:
