Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events
Up to Approximately 3 Years

The reported are the treatment-emergent AEs with an onset date up to 5 months after last study drug intake.

Number of Participants With Suicidal Ideation, Suicidal Behavior, and Self-Injurious Behavior Without Suicidal Intent Based on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
Up to approximately 3 Years

C-SSRS is to assess suicidal ideation and behavior. 4 constructs measured: severity of ideation, intensity of ideation, behavior, and lethality of actual suicide attempts. Yes/No data collected for 10 categories, composite endpoints based on the categories are followed over time to monitor safety. Composite endpoint of suicidal ideation (1-5), n and (%) are the number and % of who experience any of the five suicidal ideation events at least once after receiving the first dose of study medication. Composite endpoint of suicidal behavior (6-10), n and (%) are the number and percent of patients who experience any 1of 5 suicidal behavior events at least 1 after receiving the 5 dose of study medication. Composite endpoint of suicidal ideation or behavior (1-10), n and (%) are the number and % of patients who experience any 1 the 10 suicidal ideation or behavior events at least once after receiving the first dose of study medication.

Change From Baseline in Cognition, Using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
Up to Approximately 3 Years

MoCA contains a series of basic assessments, including attention and visuospatial tasks. The total score ranges from 0-30, where lower scores indicate greater impairment. MOCA01-Total scores are reported. The data presented are absolute scores for baseline and change from baseline for post-baseline assessments. All Arms except Tominersen 120mg Q4W (Period 1) belong to the Milestone Period 2.

Change From Baseline in the Composite Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (cUHDRS) Score-Z Score
Weeks 21 for ODC and 69 for NDC

cUHDRS includes the Total Functional Capacity (range, 0-13; higher score means better functioning), Total Motor Score (range, 0-124; higher score means worse motor severity), Symbol Digit Modality Test (range, 0-110, correctly paired numbers-symbols in 90 seconds; higher score means better cognitive performance), and Stroop Word Reading (range, 0-no max value, correctly read colour words in 45 seconds; higher score means better cognitive performance) scores. A z-score for each test is calculated, which alone can be used to describe relationship between an individual's test score and the mean score of a target population. A z-score of 0 is the mean, and ±1 is 1 standard deviation from the mean. For cUHDRS, z-scores of each test are summed, whereby a higher cUHDRS score is better (score of -3.06-no max value) and a change of ≥1.2 is a meaningful worsening, shown to track functional decline.

Change From Baseline in the Total Functional Capacity (TFC) Score
Weeks 21 for ODC and 69 for NDC

Total Functional Capacity (TFC) Scores are reported at Weeks 21 and 69. Total Functional Capacity Score ranges from 0 to 13, with a higher score representing better functioning.

Frequently asked questions about RO7234292

What is RO7234292 used for?

RO7234292 is being developed for the treatment of Huntington disease, a rare inherited neurodegenerative disorder. It is an investigational therapy studied in adults with manifest Huntington disease, and all four of its clinical trials enrolled participants with this condition rather than healthy volunteers.

Who is developing RO7234292?

RO7234292 is developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades under the ticker RHHBY. Roche and Genentech sponsored the clinical studies of the drug, including the Phase 3 efficacy trial and the open-label extension study in Huntington disease participants.

What phase is RO7234292 in?

RO7234292 has been studied in Phase 3 clinical development for Huntington disease. Four trials have been completed, including two Phase 3 studies, one Phase 2 study, and one Phase 1 study, with a combined enrollment of 1,193 participants.

What clinical trials is RO7234292 in?

RO7234292 has been evaluated in four completed trials: NCT03761849, a Phase 3 efficacy and safety study in 899 participants with manifest Huntington disease; NCT03842969, a Phase 3 open-label extension study in 236 participants; NCT03342053, a Phase 2 study in 46 participants; and NCT04000594, a Phase 1 pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics study in 12 participants.

Is RO7234292 the same as RG6042?

Yes, RO7234292 is also known as RG6042. The two names refer to the same investigational compound, and Roche study titles list it as RO7234292 (RG6042). An earlier Phase 2 study also referenced the compound as ISIS 443139.

How was RO7234292 administered in its trials?

RO7234292 was given by intrathecal administration in its clinical studies, meaning it was delivered directly into the cerebrospinal fluid. The trials assessed pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma alongside safety and tolerability in patients with Huntington disease.
