TRIHEP 3

A Comparative Phase 2 Study Assessing the Efficacy of Triheptanoin, an Anaplerotic Therapy in Huntington's Disease

Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disease characterised by movement disorders and cognitive and neuropsychiatric disturbances. The clinical features usually emerge between 30 and 50 years of age and there is currently no curative treatment. Brain energy deficiency plays an important role in the pathophysiology of the disease. This study asks whether the administration of triheptanoin can effectively improve Huntington's disease as assessed by MRI, in vivo spectroscopy and clinical evaluation.
