NCT01411150

Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to extend the Pre-Crest study (Protocol # (NCT00592995) to further assess the long-term safety and tolerability of up to 30 grams daily creatine in individuals at-risk for Huntington's Disease (HD) and to assess whether biomarkers responsive to creatine in symptomatic individuals are informative in premanifest individuals over a longer duration.
