Study Details
This is a FIH (first-in-human) study to evaluate the clinical utility of the radioligand \[11C\]CHDI-00491009 as a PET tracer that binds specifically to mutant huntingtin (mHTT) aggregates in Huntington's disease (HD). The study is divided into three cohorts defined by the Huntington's Disease Integrated Staging System (HD-ISS): Cohort 1 - initial tracer validation (3 healthy controls (HCs)); Cohort 2 - target validation and test-retest variability (6 HD-ISS Stage 3 participants and 6 age and biological sex-matched HCs); Cohort 3 - target sensitivity (6 HD-ISS Stage 2 participants and 6 age and biological sex-matched HCs). An interim analysis (IA) will be conducted after the completion of each cohort, followed by a final analysis for the study. In addition to imaging, exploratory biomarkers, including somatic instability index, soluble mHTT and total huntingtin (HTT), will be assessed. All participants with HD (PwHD) will have an additional blood sample drawn at the screening visit to assess the somatic instability index and will also be invited to provide an optional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample for measurement of soluble mHTT and total HTT.

Arms
- Experimental: Cohort 1Radioligand \[11C\]CHDI-00491009 3 HCs - MRI and PET Radioligand is administered 1x each person
- Experimental: Cohort 2Radioligand \[11C\]CHDI-00491009 6 HCs - MRI and PET 6 PwHD HD-ISS Stage 2 - MRI and PET Radioligand administered 2x (TRT) for 3 HCs and 3 PwHD Radioligand administered 1x for 3 HCs and 3 PwHD In addition, optional CSF collection for all PwHD
- Experimental: Cohort 3Radioligand \[11C\]CHDI-00491009 6 HCs - MRI and PET 6 PwHD HD-ISS Stage 3 - MRI and PET Radioligand administered 1x for 6 HCs and 6 PwHD In addition, optional CSF collection for all PwHD Depending on previous results and as decided by executive committee, TRT may be included in Cohort 3. A TRT decision would include one extra imaging session per participant (i.e., radioligand administered 2x per participant.)
Primary Outcome Measure
The VT (volume of distribution total) of the PET radioligand will be measured with PET imaging. [ Time Frame: Time Frame: Single point measure - 90 minutes scan ]
