Updates from PTC Therapeutics and uniQure on their huntingtin-lowering trials

HDBuzz (English)

On 21st June, both PTC Therapeutics and uniQure shared data from their respective clinical trials, both testing huntingtin-lowering as an approach to treat HD, but with different types of therapies. In this article we go through the data they each presented, what it all means and the next steps the companies will be taking.

Treating HD with huntingtin-lowering

Both PTC and uniQure’s approaches to treating Huntington’s disease draw on the basics of HD genetics. A gene called huntingtin becomes expanded, leading to an extra-long protein that is thought to damage brain cells. Dozens of pharmaceutical and biotech companies are working on therapies that try to decrease the amount of that long, faulty huntingtin protein, an approach known as huntingtin lowering. PTC and uniQure are two such companies which have ongoing clinical trials in this area although their approaches are quite different.
