Prilenia and Ferrer today announced initiation of the confirmatory #PRECISEHD study (Pridopidine Phase 3 Study to Establish Clinical Impact and Safety in Huntington’s Disease (HD) (NCT07609108)). Focused on generating the data to further support regulatory evaluation, PRECISE-HD will be undertaken in up to 75 sites globally, including the US, EU, UK and Canada. Recruitment has now commenced in the US, with other countries expected to follow on a rolling basis later in the year. Katie Jackson, President/CEO of Help 4 HD, remarked: "For families affected by #Huntingtonsdisease, each day is a race against time. There are currently no available treatments to slow the progression of HD, which gradually diminishes every bit of quality of life. Despite these challenges, the therapeutic needs of the #HD community remain significantly underserved. Every study aimed at changing this reality is critically important. It is essential that this study be completed promptly so its results—and their potential impact on individuals with HD and their families, who have already waited far too long for progress—can be fully evaluated.” PRECISE-HD incorporates learnings from prior research and advice and input from the HD patient and research community and regulatory authorities, and focuses on people living with HD, from early to mid-stage disease, meaning people who have experienced some motor changes or impact on independent functioning (defined as Total Functional Capacity (TFC) score of 7-13), a Total Motor Score (TMS) ≥20 and Independence Scale score ≤ 90%).

87 years ago today, Lou Gehrig gave his "Luckiest Man" speech and brought international attention to ALS. His legacy continues to raise ALS awareness and support in the search for a cure. On this historic day, you can honor Lou Gehrig by supporting the fight against ALS: als.org/donate

Busy week for the Prilenia and Ferrer teams across both #ALS and #Huntingtonsdisease, across two sides of the Atlantic Ocean and across two major registrational clinical trials, #PREVAiLS and #PRECISEHD. On the Europe side of the pond #ENCALS2026 took place in Madrid where the activity didn't stop with symposia, presentations and EUpALS expert panels (featuring our own Eric Litjens, MSc, PhD) - all exploring the ways and means to go beyond standard measures of clinical benefit for people with ALS. While over on the U.S. side, where we were delighted to be supporting the Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA) 2026 convention, the Prilenia team of Rob Roth and Nils Confer met with as many people with #HD, and their advocates, as they could manage over 48 hours to bring them up to speed on the plans and preparations for the imminent start of PRECISE-HD. Amazing seeing these two teams working together in the fight for people with #rarediseases #neurodegenerativedisease.

ALS doesn't wait. And neither should the people living with it. Too many people affected by ALS still face delays on the path to diagnosis, losing valuable time to access specialist care and support. Today, we join EUpALS in highlighting the importance of earlier diagnosis and greater awareness of a disease that continues to leave patients and families without enough options. At Ferrer, we believe no patient should be left behind simply because their disease is rare, complex or difficult to treat. That’s why we are committed to advancing research in ALS. When time matters, progress cannot come quickly enough. #ALSDay #ALSAwareness

The PREVAiLS study, investigating the effect of pridopidine in people with ALS, has enrolled its first participant in Europe. The study, sponsored by Ferrer Internacional SA and Prilenia Therapeutics B.V., aims to enroll 500 participants, at 56 leading ALS centres across 13 countries worldwide. TRICALS is proud of its close collaboration with Ferrer and Prilenia, resulting in this important milestone for European ALS patients. TRICALS has been involved with the PREVAiLS study from the start. TRICALS has provided extensive support both in the planning and start-up phases of the study and will continue to support the PREVAiLS study through its next stages.

Wonderful milestone and many congratulations to our partner, Ferrer, on accomplishing the first participant enrollment in Europe in the 500-patient #PREVAiLS trial - completing the first enrollments in all regions - the US, Canada, Europe and Israel. More details on PREVAiLS can be found at www.prevailstrial.com (North America only)
The first patient in Europe has been enrolled in PREVAiLS, a global Phase 3 clinical study in people living with ALS, co-developed by Ferrer and Prilenia. The first participant was enrolled at UMC Utrecht, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Leonard van den Berg, Chair of The European Research Initiative to find a Cure for ALS (TRICALS), Professor of Neurology at the University Medical Centre Utrecht, and European member of the PREVAiLS Steering Committee. At Ferrer, we direct our expertise and resources towards diseases with limited treatment options. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that continues to present significant unmet medical needs for patients, families and caregivers. We believe no patient should be left behind simply because their disease is rare. That is why we focus our efforts where they can make the greatest difference. Clinical research is essential to improving our understanding of the disease and exploring potential new treatment approaches. Our ambition is not small, the PREVAiLS study plans to enrol approximately 500 participants across up to 56 specialist ALS centres in 13 countries. We are grateful to the patients, caregivers, investigators and study teams whose commitment makes this important research possible.
