• In April 2026, PTC Therapeutics reported positive 24‑month interim results from the PIVOT-HD long‑term extension study, showing dose‑dependent slowing of Huntington’s disease progression and sustained reduction of mutant Huntingtin protein with votoplam, alongside a safety profile that remained consistent with earlier findings.
