This is the first study of AMT-130 in patients with early manifest HD and is designed to establish safety and proof-of-concept (PoC). CT-AMT-130-01 is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, first-in-human (FIH) study. The first three cohorts of the study have completed enrollment, including the randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled cohorts. Cohort 4 is open-label. Cohort 4 participants will receive high dose AMT-130.
AMT-130 is an investigational, single administration gene therapy intended to modify the disease course for HD. Preclinical studies have shown that AMT-130 lowers huntingtin protein and is associated with decreased progression of Huntington's Disease signs in animal models. Cohort 1, 2, and 3 evaluated low dose and high dose AMT-130. Cohort 4 will further evaluate the safety of high dose AMT-130 in participants with low striatal volume. All participants in Cohort 4 will receive high dose AMT-130 and will receive pre- and post-operative dexamethasone. Cohorts 1 and 2 participants continue follow-up visits through 6 years after receipt of AMT-130. Cohorts 3 and 4 participants continue follow-up visits through 5 years after receipt of AMT-130.

Number and type of Adverse Events (AE)
Safety will be assessed by adverse events (AEs) related to clinical safety laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), neurological and physical examinations, rAAV5 vector shedding, immunogenicity response (Cohorts 1, 2 \& 3), suicidality risk \[Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale \[C-SSRS)\], changes in global cognitive functioning \[Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA)\] and MRI measures of edema, inflammation, volume loss and structural changes.
Time frame: 12 months (Cohorts 1 & 2) and 12 months (Cohort 3)
Duration of persistence of AMT-130 in the brain
Change over time in levels of AMT-130-derived Vector DNA Expression in the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
Time frame: Collected for duration of study through month 72 (Cohorts 1 & 2) and through month 16 (Cohorts 3 & 4)
