Sponsor's own description
WVE-HDSNP2-002 is an open-label extension (OLE) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and clinical effects of WVE-120102 in adult patients with early manifest HD who carry a targeted single nucleotide polymorphism, rs362331 (SNP2). To participate in the study, patients must have completed the Phase 1b/2a clinical study WVE-HDSNP2-001.
