Who may be able to join

  • Patients must be aged ≥ 30 years and ≤ 70 years.
  • Body mass index between 18 and 31 kg/m2 inclusive, and a body weight greater than 50 kg.

  • Patients must have no clinically significant and relevant medical or psychiatric history that could affect the conduct of the study and evaluation of the data, as ascertained by the Investigator through detailed medical history and screening assessments.
  • Male patients must agree to use condoms during the entire duration of the study and for 3 months following the last dose of study drug.
  • Females of childbearing potential (last menses less than 1 year prior to enrolment).

Who cannot join

  • Participation in a study with an investigational drug within 30 days of the Baseline Visit.
  • Any prior or concomitant use of Class I or Class II histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors such as Zolinza®/vorinostat or belinostat.
  • Clinical evidence of significant or unstable medical illness in the Investigator's judgement, including screening transaminases (AST or ALT) ≥ 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), or an estimated GFR < 60 mL/min, or unexplained proteinuria or microscopic haematuria in an uncontaminated sample obtained at Screening and confirmed on repeat testing.
  • QTcF interval >450 ms in men and >470 ms in women or PR >220 ms, or other clinically relevant abnormal ECG findings
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Clinically significant abnormalities in the screening laboratory studies which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with participation in the study.
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Current evidence or history (within 1 year of baseline) of psychosis, hallucinations or delusions, including major depression with psychotic features, as defined in the DSM-IV-TR. Patients currently experiencing mild depression, or moderate depression which is adequately and appropriately treated in the judgment of the Investigator, can participate if depression is not expected to interfere with study participation.
  • Suicide risk, as determined by meeting any of the following criteria:
  • A suicide attempt within the past year or suicidal ideation within 60 days of the Baseline Visit (Day 1).
  • Significant risk of suicide, as judged by the Principal Investigator, based on the psychiatric interview or information collected in the C-SSRS.
  • Current diagnosis or history (within 1 year of baseline) of any alcohol or substance abuse (except nicotine and caffeine-related disorders) as defined in the DSM-IV-TR.
  • Known allergy to any ingredient in the study drug (active and/or placebo).
  • A history of malignancy of any type within 2 years prior to screening. A history of surgically excised non-melanoma skin cancers is permitted.
  • Any relevant condition, behaviour, laboratory value, or concomitant medication which, in the opinion of the Investigator, makes the patient unsuitable for entry into the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and tolerability

    Adverse event (AE) reporting, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, physical examination findings, and laboratory safety tests. Suicide risk (Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale,C-SSRS).

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Short-term clinical effects

    Global Clinical Impression (GCI, patient and clinician-based), UHDRS, Total Motor Scale (UHDRS-TMS), Functional Assessment, Independence Scale Assessment, Problem Behaviours Assessment, Cognitive Battery (Symbol Digit Modalities Test, Stroop Word Test, Verbal fluency, Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE]).

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Modulation of candidate pharmacodynamic markers

    Acetylation status of mutant huntingtin, levels of soluble huntingtin.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Pharmacokinetic profile

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SEN0014196 in people with Huntington's Disease, run by Siena Biotech S.p.A. at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and tolerability (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Nov 2015.
