Primary Endpoint: Reduction in Blood HTT protein (Week 12)
*Placebo participants randomized 1:1 to 5 mg or 10 mg for LTE and all participants remain blinded to initial treatment assignment
PIVOT-HD study met primary endpoint of blood HTT protein lowering at Week 12 with durable dose-dependent lowering at Month 12
Favorable and dose-dependent trends on clinical scales at Month 12
in Stage 2 subjects
Favorable safety

ENROLL-HD Registry Propensity Weighted Natural History Comparator Group
ENROLL-HD is a large (>30,000 patient records), global, prospective, longitudinal observational
registry for Huntington's disease designed to systematically collect standardized natural history data.
ENROLL-HD was used to create a comparator group based on key drivers of disease progression.
