There is a Huntington’s Disease Study actively recruiting participants in your area. It is called Mito HD. The following is a brief description of the study, the qualifications needed to participate, and contact information to learn more or to volunteer to partiipate in the study.
Mito HD SummaryStudy Purpose: To learn more about how energy is used in individuals with Huntington’s. These results will help researchers develop tests that can be used to tell us whether a medication is working to improve energy in HD.
Location: University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas TexasParticipants Needed: 30 individuals with early stage HD, and 30 individuals without HD. You will be asked for more information by phone interview. You may be excluded if taking certain medications or supplements.
Trial Duration: Four to six hours in the exercise room (only brief periods of exercise), and two weeks of wearing an arm band (which can be returned by mail).
Testing Procedure:1. After a special breakfast, an intravenous (IV) catheter will be placed so that only 1 needle stick is needed for multiple blood tests during the study.
2. You will perform 2 types of exercise: repeatedly squeezing a hand-held device for 6-7 minutes and pedaling a stationary bicycle for 5 to 20 minutes. Portions of the testing may be strenuous, but you will be constantly supervised.
3. You will briefly (about 20 seconds) breathe into a tube to collect air for study. For more details please call one of the following people and let them know you’re interested in participating in MITO-HD. Please tell them you heard about MITO-HD from HDTrials.org In Texas: Christine Hunter 713 798 3951 chunter@bcm.edu In North Carolina: Christine O’Neill 336 716-8611 coneill@wfubmc.eduYour participation in clinical studies and clinical trials will help accelerate the process of finding therapies and a cure for Huntington’s Disease. If you know someone else who may be interested in participating in this study please forward this email to them, and encourage them to register with HDTrials.org for future notices.
