Prana Biotechnology (PRAN)
Huntington's disease is an inherited disease that causes the progressive breakdown (degeneration) of nerve cells in the brain.
Symptoms of Huntington's disease usually develop between ages 30 and 50, but they can appear as early as age 2 or as late as 80.
The hallmark symptom of Huntington's disease is uncontrolled movement of the arms, legs, head, face and upper body. Huntington's disease also causes a decline in thinking and reasoning skills, including memory, concentration, judgment and ability to plan and organize.
PRAN reported that its Phase 2 REACH2HD clinical trial investigating PBT2 as a treatment for Huntington disease met its primary safety endpoint and achieved statistically significant improvement in a measure of executive function (cognition), which comprised part of the study's main efficacy outcome.
PRAN plans to advance PBT2 into a confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial that could allow PBT2 to be approved for the treatment of Huntington disease.
PRAN is developing first-in-class therapies to treat neurodegenerative disease. PRAN 's lead drug candidate – PBT2 – is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s and Huntington's diseases
