Bringing safe and effective treatments to patients with Huntington’s disease (HD) will require evaluation in properly designed and conducted clinical trials. Such clinical trials will require appropriate tools and practices, including therapeutics, patient registries, biomarkers, endpoints, trial design, and analysis tools. This chapter provides insight into the advances being made in each of these areas and highlights the challenges remaining. Lessons learned from prior HD trials as well as from trials in other neurodegenerative diseases affect our view of future HD clinical development. With much interest from both pharmaceutical companies and academic researchers, this final chapter of the book actually opens a new chapter in the history of HD drug development.
