About this study
Official title: Open-Label, Dose Escalation Early Phase 1 Study of ER2001 Intravenous Injection Repetitive Treatment in Adults With Early Manifest Huntington's Disease.
This is an open label, dose escalation clinic trial to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics with ER2001 Intravenous Injection repetitive treatment in Huntington's Disease patients who Completed Study ER2001-001(NCT06024265). Furthermore, pharmacodynamics in particular target engagement, and clinical signs of efficacy will be assessed. This study will evaluate increasing doses of ER2001 in sequential cohorts. ER2001 was escalated over 3 dose levels . The planned duration of this additional treatment is 6 weeks for one course.
Read the detailed description
The study include a screening period (4 week prior to the first administration), a treatment period (for 6 consecutive weeks, once a week [QW] for 6 weeks), and a safety follow-up period (12 weeks). Participants will receive 6 injections at the same dose level used in the NCT06024265 study, once a week over a period of 6 consecutive weeks. Planned doses for increase in subsequent cohorts are 0.08, 0.16, and 0.32 mg/kg. Decision to proceed to the next higher dose cohort will be based upon a safety review of the included participants. Treatment will continue until intolerable toxicity or as per patient preference.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing ER2001 injection in people with Huntington Disease, run by ExoRNA Bioscience at 1 site in China.
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 18 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 22 May 2026. 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 China. 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. 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?
Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.
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?
Incidence and Severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) (time frame: Approximately 4.5 months). 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 22 May 2026.
