Clinical trials performed for testing anti-inflammatory-/immunomodulatory-based therapies in Huntington's disease.

Study Drug Trial design Endpoint classification Estimated enrollment Outcomes Status
NCT02481674 VX15/2503 Multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, phase 2 trial. Safety/efficacy 84 No published results. Currently recruiting. Estimated primary completion date: August 2018.

NCT02215616 Laquinimod Multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, phase 2 trial. Safety/efficacy 400 No published results. Currently recruiting. Estimated primary completion date: August 2017.

NCT01502046 Cannabinoids: delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) Randomized, double blind, crossover, placebo controlled, phase 2 trial. Safety 25 No published results. Completed.

NCT00146211 Ethyl-EPA (Miraxion, phospholipase A2 inhibitor) Multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, phase 3 trial. Efficacy 300 1Ethyl-EPA was generally well tolerated. Ethyl-EPA was not beneficial in patients with Huntington's disease. At 6 months, the Total Motor Score 4 point change for patients receiving ethyl-EPA did not differ from that for those receiving placebo. No differences were found in measures of function, cognition, or global impression [61]. Completed.

NCT01357681 Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) Multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, phase 2 trial. Efficacy 54 No published results. Completed.

NCT00029874 Minocycline Randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, phase 1/phase 2 trial. Safety/efficacy 63 No published results. Completed.

NCT00277355 Minocycline Multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, phase 2/phase 3 trial. Safety/efficacy 114 2Minocycline at 100 and 200 mg/day for 8 weeks was well tolerated. No adverse events occurred more often with minocycline use [52]. Completed.
