We had the opportunity to meet with Andrew Feigin (Department of Neurology, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York City, NY, USA) to discuss the results from the phase 2 Huntington’s Disease trial of Anti-Semaphorin 4D Antibody Pepinemab (SIGNAL).
The abstract entitled ‘Results of Phase 2 Huntington’s Disease Trial of Anti-Semaphorin 4D Antibody Pepinemab (SIGNAL) will Guide Clinical Trial in Alzheimer’s Disease’ was presented at The 15th International Conference for Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s Diseases (Virtual), March 8-14, 2021.
