Abstract:Pridopidine is currently in clinical development for Huntington’s disease (HD) and investigations to increase the understanding of its therapeutic benefit and mode of action are undergoing. In this study, we aim to investigate the efficacy and mechanism of action of pridopidine using the transgenic YAC128 mouse model of HD. Pridopidine was administered to animals starting at early (1.5 months of age) or late stages of disease (8 months of age). In the early treatment cohort, animals were divided into three gro… Show more
