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

Where else are we planning to open HDClarity sites?
We are currently in the process of opening recruitment to the study into other countries, including Melbourne, Australia, and Lisbon, Portugal.
