It’s May Awareness Month! Each year, the global Huntington’s community unites during the month of May in a shared mission to raise awareness for the thousands of people affected by Huntington’s Disease (HD). This year we want to raise the global community voice and give them a safe space to share their stories, talk about the importance of clinical research for Huntington’s disease and encourage them to join local association’s events.
At this moment, we have 2 initiatives confirmed:

Webinar

PROOF-HD study - What do the results show us and what's next?
Register here for the upcoming webinar ➡️bit.ly/Prileniawebinar

When the news about the preliminary study results from the PROOF-HD study came last week many people were disappointed. Some sources presented it as a solely negative outcome and many expressed great disappointment.

In our view, the results are much more mixed and not at all only negative. Some of the participants in the study seem to have a clear benefit from the drug.  Knowledge is power

Register for the webinar and make up your own opinion after having heard Dr Michael Hayden (CEO and co-founder of Prilenia) present the results and his evaluation of what they mean.
Dr Ralf Reilman (Principal Investigator for PROOFHD in Europe) will also present his thoughts about the results.
