WVE-003 leads to allele-selective mHTT reduction, correlating with slowing of caudate atrophy Allele-Selective mHTT KD with wtHTT Preservation Slowing of Caudate Atrophy Functional Benefit mHTT reduction of up to 46% vs. placebo wtHTT preserved/increased throughout study Caudate atrophy is an imaging biomarker expected to predict clinical outcomes, including clinically meaningful worsening of Total Motor Score (TMS) WVE-003 trended towards less caudate atrophy vs. placebo (4.68% vs. 5.10%, not significant) Greater allele-selective mHTT reduction correlated with the slowing of caudate atrophy at 24 weeks (R = -0.50, p=0.047) Liu et al., 2023 Brain Comm
