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.

NLX-112 demonstrated safety and potential efficacy in reducing levodopa-induced dyskinesia and improving motor symptoms in Parkinson disease, with additional benefits seen in patients also receiving stable amantadine.

Roche has updated its phase 2 GENERATION HD2 trial to continue testing only the higher 100 mg dose of tominersen, following interim data favoring its potential clinical benefit in Huntington disease.

Pagan shared insights from InfusON patient interviews on the challenges and benefits of initiating CSAI therapy and discussed how expert roundtable recommendations can guide neurologists in managing skin nodules associated with treatment.

In this phase 2 trial, TTNS using the Geko device was safe and well tolerated but showed no significant benefit over sham in improving urinary symptoms in Parkinson disease.

Pagan discusses the excitement surrounding new therapeutics in neurodegenerative diseases and how advances in protein clearance and inflammation reduction could lead to disease-modifying treatments for conditions like Parkinson disease.

Fernando L. Pagan, MD, discussed how continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion impacts long-term motor fluctuations in Parkinson disease, highlighting InfusON extension study findings on uninterrupted "good ON" time and reduced "OFF" periods as evidence of its real-world efficacy.
