After discontinuing dosing in the phase 3 GENERATION HD1 study in 2021, Roche is designing a new phase 2 trial for tominersen, its investigational antisense oligomer for Huntington disease.

After a post hoc analysis revealed promising results in a subgroup of younger adults with less disease burden, Ionis has announced that Roche will develop a new phase 2 trial.

The FDA has previously granted the Acadia Pharmaceuticals treatment fast track status and orphan drug designation for Rett syndrome.

Despite a few surprising program failures early this year, there is plenty of potential worth holding on to in the Huntington disease pipeline.
