The NAD-HD Study: A Study to Investigate Efficacy and Safety of Nicotinamide Riboside Compared With Placebo in Huntington's Disease
Sponsor: Oslo University Hospital
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if oral supplement of nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, slows disease progression in adults with Huntington's disease. It will also learn about the safety of nicotinamide riboside. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does NR slow progression of overall symptom burden in Huntington's disease? * Does NR have an effect on any specific symptom domain in Huntington's disease? * Does supplementation with NR cause side-effects or safety issues when used for 2 years in Huntington's disease? * Does NR have an effect on selected blood, imaging, and oculomotor biomarkers in Huntington's disease? Researchers will compare NR to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active compound) to see if NR works to treat Huntington's disease. Participants will: * Take 2000mg NR or a placebo every day for 2 years * Visit the clinic once every 6 months for clinical investigations and tests * Undergo brain imaging at baseline and upon completion of the study period
