Back to Huntington's Disease

What changed for Huntington's Disease

A plain English summary of what recently moved in the public data Voxsanity tracks for Huntington's Disease. Updated from government registries. Not medical advice.

How to read these changes: every figure on this page is the difference between two snapshots of what Voxsanity had tracked on each date. Voxsanity only began taking daily snapshots in July 2026 and is still ingesting the public registries, so a rise here is mostly our own coverage expanding rather than new research appearing. Read it as our tracked coverage growing, not as a claim about real-world research changing this fast: it overstates how much actually changed.

Comparing the two most recent snapshots, 27 July 2026 and 28 July 2026.

Newly subsidised on the PBS

No PBS-reviewed medicines are tracked for Huntington's Disease yet, so new PBS listings cannot be reported for it. This is a gap in what Voxsanity has mapped, not a statement that no medicines are subsidised — check the PBS directly.

Past updates

Tracking began in July 2026. Month on month changes will appear here once a second month of data has been recorded. Until then, the comparison above shows the most recent movement.

  • NCT05655520 · results posted 17 December 2025

    According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial enrolled 153 participants across two groups: 72 people in "Cohort 1 (Direct Rollover)" and 81 people in "Cohort 2 (Gap Rollover)." These labels suggest participants had previously been in a related study and either moved straight into this one or had a break in between. The trial's primary focus was on tracking unwanted medical events (called treatment-emergent adverse events, or TEAEs — meaning any new or worsening health issue that appeared after starting the study treatment) and on measuring changes in basic physical signs...

  • NCT04617860 · results posted 9 February 2022

    According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial tested a drug called WVE-120102 in 36 people across three starting dose groups — 8 people began on 4 mg, 10 on 8 mg, and 18 on 16 mg. During the trial, many participants had their doses increased over time, with some eventually receiving 32 mg. The trial was measuring safety and tolerability — in other words, it was tracking what kinds of unwanted health events occurred while people were taking the drug and at what doses. Notably, none of the 36 participants completed the trial; all either withdrew or did not finish for other...
