Leveraging the Enroll-HD dataset, recent data revealed consistent links between antidopaminergic medication use and worsened cognitive and motor outcomes in Huntington disease.

Early findings from the ASPIRO trial showed ANPD001 was safe, well-tolerated, and led to marked improvements in motor symptoms and daily functioning.

STN-FUS provided more sustained tremor reduction, improved bradykinesia, and had a higher responder rate at 12 months, though both treatments showed comparable reductions in rigidity and motor scores.

New 24-month data further showed dose-dependent lowering of neurofilament light and trends on major end points such as cUHDRS, Total Function Capacity, and Symbol Digit Modalities Test.
