HSG UPDATES: Current Clinical Trials – KINECT-HD2 and PROOF-HD
—– 
July 2022
KINECT-HD2 is being conducted by Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (“Sponsor”) in partnership with the Huntington Study Group (HSG). KINECT-HD2 is an open-label, multi-center study with sites across the US and Canada and aims to investigate the long-term safety and tolerability, as well as the maintenance of effect of valbenazine for the treatment of chorea associated with HD. Participation in this study will last up to approximately 162 weeks, including up to 4 weeks (28 days) of screening, up to 156 weeks of treatment (about 39 months or approximately 3 years), and a final study visit 2 weeks (14 days) after stopping study drug. The entire study consists of up to approximately 22 study visits. The enrollment goal is to reach approximately 150 participants. KINECT-HD2 was recently amended to include participants on stable background treatment of antipsychotic medication, and is currently open to enrollment.
We are incredibly grateful to all the study participants, study sites, referring sites, Sponsor and study teams for their continued dedication to the study.
If you know of any potential participants, please contact Jody Goldstein by phone (760-845-2105) or email (jody.goldstein@hsglimited.org).
