3I/ATLAS, just the third interstellar object detected from earth. Captured from London , 12 hours after its 5 billion year journey towards us from some remote solar system. Now heading back into the void, and will likely never be seen again by any sentient creature

It is to be hoped (but, based on past experiences, not expected) that this decision will be a cause for reflection on the best way for the HD community to muster & focus its resources. Plenty of drugs designed for HD & targeting central disease mechanisms need testing now and soon. Time to move on!

This will be disappointing to many, but it’s the right decision. Regulators consider data. After 6 negative trials it’s time to admit the data don’t support pridopidine as a symptomatic (2006-2015) or disease-modifying (2015-2025) treatment for #HuntingtonsDisease
