The highway towards a cure

Verge Genomics is conducting a phase 1b trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential efficacy of VRG50635 for people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

In this study we investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics markers and pharmacokinetics (how a drug is absorbed and excreted) of AP-101 in patients with familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Currently, we are only looking for patients with familial ALS (caused by a SOD1 gene mutation) to participate in the study. This study is sponsored by AL-S Pharma.

In this study, an investigational oral drug named dazucorilant (also called CORT113176) is being studied in people living with ALS (also known as MND) to understand its safety (side effects) and to determine if dazucorilant can slow down the worsening of the disease. The effects of dazucorilant will be compared to the effects of a placebo. This study is sponsored by Corcept Therapeutics.

Biogen is conducting a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety and of an investigational drug for adults who do not have any clinical signs or symptoms of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) (that definitely indicate the onset of ALS) but do carry a certain superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene variant.

In this study we investigate the safety and efficacy of the study drug ‘ION363’ for the treatment of ALS caused by mutations in the FUS gene. About 1% to 5% of ALS cases are caused by FUS mutations.

This trial will evaluate the efficacy of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) as add-on treatment for people with ALS.

Ferrer is conducting a phase 3 trial to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of an investigational drug for people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Amylyx Pharmaceuticals Inc is conducting a phase 3 trial to determine the safety and efficacy of their compound ‘AMX0035’ for the treatment of ALS.

The CARDINALS clinical research study is evaluating a study drug (Utreloxastat) to see if it can help slow ALS symptoms. Researchers will also test the safety and tolerability of the study drug and how the body responds to it. The study drug is a liquid that is swallowed 2 times a day.
