This week, HD advocate B.J. Viau wrote an article on the website Huntington’s Disease News that answers some top questions about getting involved in HD Clinical Trials. He covers the ever-expanding HD clinical trials pipeline, and some great ways to get started with learning more and participating in clinical studies. Resources include HDSA’s HD Trialfinder and the global study Enroll-HD. He also offers some resources for understanding what a typical study visit might look like and how researchers collect spinal fluid.
