Prospective Single-Timepoint Huntington's Disease Biospecimen Collection Study

Sanguine Biosciences5 enrolled

Overview

OBJECTIVES: The primary study objective is to collect blood from participants with Huntington's Disease in order to validate a CE marked Cytosine, Adenine, Guanine (CAG) assay for use in future studies for Huntington's Disease. The secondary study objective is to create a biorepository that can be used to identify disease associated biomarkers and potential targets with immune and multi-omics profiling. The disease sample collection and analysis will be the foundation for an extensive network of biospecimen access and linked datasets for future translational research.

STUDY DESIGN: * This protocol is a single-center, single-cohort, bioresearch study enrolling up to 5 participants. The cohort is as follows: o Cohort 1: Huntington's Disease (n=5) * The study will enroll participants per the eligibility criteria. * Participants will have 1 scheduled biospecimen collection visit(s). If the participant requires a recollection or is called for an extra sample donation, this will add additional volume and visit(s) to the collection schedule. The biospecimens collected from participants are whole blood. * The target blood volume of each phlebotomy visit will be 20 mL. The minimum accepted volume (in the event of tough venipuncture attempts or difficulty obtaining the blood) will be 5 mL. The maximum amount that can be drawn in a 6-week period will be 100 mL (whole blood 6-week maximum). * Confirmation of eligibility and medical record review by a member of the study staff will be completed for participants of the cohort before they are considered fully enrolled.

Secondary Outcomes

Biorepository creation

The secondary study objective is to create a biorepository that can be used to identify disease associated biomarkers and potential targets with immune and multi-omics profiling.
