ALS Finding a Cure Providing the Initial Funding for Amylyx

2022-10-03T00:59:42+00:00

ALS Finding a Cure Providing the Initial Funding for Amylyx In every journey of discovery, certain days distinguish themselves as fundamental to achieving the ultimate objective. Yesterday was one of those days in the fight against ALS, Lou Gehrig’s Disease, with the FDA’s approval of Amylyx’s new drug, Relyvrio, the first new ALS drug in over five years. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a devastating disease of the nervous system which robs patients of their muscle control and eventually their ability to breathe on their own.  While rare, there is no known cure, and it famously struck down Lou [...]

Independent FDA Advisory Panel Recommends Approving ALS Drug

2022-09-13T18:04:22+00:00

A panel of independent advisers to the US Food and Drug Administration voted Wednesday (September 7) to recommend the agency approve a novel therapy to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The drug, called AMX0035, had previously been rejected by the same group earlier in the year, but new evidence presented by the company that developed it, Massachusetts-based Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, prompted a surprising reversal that also comes amid an aggressive lobbying campaign by ALS patients and their families.

AI Finds Potential Drug Targets for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

2022-07-07T19:45:26+00:00

Scientists have identified several potential therapeutic targets for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered target discovery engine to analyze dysregulated gene expression in large, publicly available ALS datasets.

ALS Finding a Cure® funded Amylyx’s preclinical and early clinical work

2022-06-15T18:43:49+00:00

Health Canada decision signifies the first global regulatory approval for Amylyx and the first new therapy for ALS approved in Canada since 2018 ALBRIOZA (also known as AMX0035) is an oral fixed-dose combination therapy that may reduce neuronal cell death as a stand-alone therapy or when added to existing treatments In a clinical trial, ALBRIOZA significantly slowed disease progression and loss of functional decline in people living with ALS Detailed data from the CENTAUR clinical trial were published in the New England Journal of Medicine,Muscle & Nerve, and the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry
