Azevan Needs Our Help

HD CAREGIVERS, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

To prepare for a clinical trial of a drug that may reduce the disruptive aggressive
behavior that some persons or patients with HD suffer from, we would like to
interview about 25 caregivers who are parents, spouses, or adult children of
patients who have aggressive outbursts. We are specifically interested in trying to
build a list of words that can be used to describe these physically aggressive, acting
out, or other threatening behaviors.

The research is sponsored by Azevan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The interviews will be
conducted by Erin Koppel, who works at the Huntington's Disease Society of
America Center of Excellence at Georgetown University. We will provide a special
cell phone number that guarantees the privacy of the connection. The calls will be
voice recorded and transcribed so that they can be reviewed more easily. The
information that you provide will be stored in password-protected files at
Georgetown University. You must be fluent in English and at least 18 years old to
participate.

Participants that complete the full interview, which involves answering questions
about aggressive outbursts and related behaviors, will be compensated $50 for their
time and insight.

Thank you very much for considering this request. If you are interested in helping
us, please call or email Erin Koppel at:
