Pepinemab antibody blockade of SEMA4D in early Huntington's disease: a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial.
Feigin Andrew et al. Nature medicine 2022 8

SIGNAL is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase?2 study established to evaluate pepinemab, a semaphorin?4D (SEMA4D)-blocking antibody, for treatment of Huntington’s disease (HD). The trial enrolled a total of 265?HD gene expansion carriers with either early manifest (EM, n?=?179) or late prodromal (LP, n?=?86) HD, randomized (1:1) to receive 18?monthly infusions of pepinemab (n?=?91 EM, 41?LP) or placebo (n?=?88 EM, 45?LP). Pepinemab was generally well tolerated, with a relatively low frequency of serious treatment-emergent adverse events of 5% with pepinemab compared to 9% with placebo,
