Key Takeaways from the Huntington’s Disease Pipeline Report
-
DelveInsight’s Huntington’s Disease pipeline report highlights a vibrant landscape, with over 20 active companies developing more than 20 therapeutic candidates for Huntington’s Disease.
-
PTC Therapeutics is advancing PTC518, an oral small molecule aimed at lowering production of the mutant huntingtin protein. In September 2024, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to PTC518, recognizing its potential to address unmet needs in HD treatment. In a major move, PTC Therapeutics signed a licensing agreement with Novartis worth up to $2.9 billion for the continued development and commercialization of PTC518, emphasizing the therapy’s promise and the industry’s commitment to HD innovation.
-
In August 2023, the FDA expanded the indication for valbenazine (Ingrezza) to include treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s Disease. This decision was supported by data from the Phase 3 KINECT-HD study and its ongoing open-label extension, KINECT-HD2. Valbenazine is now the only selective vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor approved for this condition, providing a new option for managing HD-related movement disorders.

Key companies in the Huntington’s Disease space—such as Hoffmann-La Roche, PTC Therapeutics, Annexon, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Neuvivo, and BPG Bio—are actively developing new therapies to enhance the treatment landscape. Promising pipeline candidates include RG6042, PTC518, ALN-HTT02, and several others at various stages of development.
Huntington’s Disease Overview:
Huntington’s disease is an inherited, progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the gradual emergence of involuntary movements—affecting the limbs, face, and trunk—and a steady decline in cognitive abilities and memory. The disease primarily affects central brain regions responsible for movement, mood, and cognition. Symptoms usually appear between ages 30 and 50, though onset can occur as early as age 2 or as late as 80. Key manifestations include rapid, uncontrollable muscle jerks called chorea, loss of coordination, and changes in personality. As the disease advances, individuals may experience speech difficulties, memory impairments, and increasingly severe involuntary movements.
Huntington’s disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and arises from a mutation in a single gene on chromosome 4. This gene encodes the huntingtin protein, whose exact normal function is not fully understood. The mutated form of huntingtin causes brain changes that result in motor impairments, cognitive decline, and emotional disturbances such as depression and irritability. The mutation involves an abnormal expansion of a DNA sequence within the gene: while a normal gene contains 17–20 repeats, the mutated version associated with Huntington’s disease has 40 or more, leading to the development of the condition.

Huntington’s Disease Emerging Drugs
-
RG6042: Hoffmann-La Roche
Tominersen (also referred to as ASO-HTT or RG6042) is an antisense oligonucleotide therapy under development for Huntington’s disease. It functions by reducing the production of all forms of the huntingtin (HTT) protein, including the mutant variant (mHTT) responsible for the disorder. The therapy is currently in Phase III clinical trials to assess its efficacy in treating Huntington’s disease.
-
PTC518: PTC Therapeutics
PTC518 is an oral small-molecule therapy aimed at reducing levels of the mutant huntingtin protein, a key driver of neuronal damage and disease progression in Huntington’s disease. The compound can cross the blood-brain barrier, acts selectively, allows for dose titration, and is not actively expelled from the brain. It is currently being studied in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of Huntington’s disease.
-
ALN-HTT02: Alnylam Pharmaceuticals
ALN-HTT02 is an innovative therapy for Huntington’s disease under development by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals. It employs small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology to reduce the production of the huntingtin protein, a key factor in the disease. The therapy specifically targets a portion of the HTT gene’s messenger RNA (mRNA), promoting its degradation and preventing the formation of both normal and mutant protein forms. Administered via intrathecal injection, ALN-HTT02 is currently in Phase I clinical trials for Huntington’s disease.
