Extracellular Vesicles Study for Huntington's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is collecting tiny particles called extracellular vesicles from blood and spinal fluid to learn more about Huntington's disease. It aims to find better ways to measure the disease in people who have HD and in those who do not.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have either been diagnosed with Huntington's disease or you are known not to carry the HD gene.
- You are willing to fast overnight, give blood samples, and undergo a lumbar puncture (spinal tap).
- You have not taken any blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or warfarin) in the past 2 weeks.
- You are not pregnant and do not have any bleeding or clotting disorders.

This study looks at how gut bacteria are different in people with Huntington's disease who have unusual weight changes. You'll provide stool and blood samples to help researchers understand gut health in HD.
This study looks at specific “biomarkers” (measurable signs) found in cerebrospinal fluid, to better understand Huntington’s disease. The results may help researchers track the disease and improve future tests or treatments.
This study tests new ways to measure thinking and memory skills in people with Huntington's disease. It aims to find better tools for tracking the disease and could help you understand your cognitive changes.
This study follows people with Huntington's disease (or those who carry the gene) over time using online surveys. It aims to better understand how the disease progresses, which could help improve future care.
This trial tests a new drug called SKY-0515 in people with Huntington's disease. The goal is to see if it can safely improve symptoms or slow the disease down.
This study uses special brain imaging and memory/thinking tests to find early “markers” that can predict how Huntington’s disease will progress over time. You may qualify as someone with early-stage Huntington’s or as a healthy control, if you meet specific safety and scoring requirements.
