Lund Sweden, November 8, 2018 – Active Biotech (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: ACTI) announces that new data from the Phase 2 LEGATO-HD study of laquinimod in Huntington’s disease will be presented by Global Coordinating Principal Investigator, Dr Ralf Reilmann at the annual Huntington Study Group conference, HSG 2018, in Houston, Texas November 8-10. The results will be presented at an oral session on November 9 and as a poster titled “LEGATO-HD Study: A phase 2 study assessing the efficacy and safety of laquinimod as a treatment for Huntington disease”. In addition to previously presented data on primary and secondary endpoints and safety profile, results for exploratory endpoints will be presented. Data for Q-Motor, a sensitive, standardized rate-independent and unbiased measure, revealed nominal improvement on motor coordination in patients treated with laquinimod. These data together with the strong treatment effect on brain volume loss propose a central effect of laquinimod in the LEGATO-HD study. Additional analysis of the study is ongoing and further results will be presented at upcoming scientific meetings.
