In other recent news, Amylyx Pharmaceuticals announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has lifted the clinical hold on its Phase 1 trial for AMX0114, a potential treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This decision allows the company to proceed with patient screening, enrollment, and dosing at trial sites across the United States. The trial, known as LUMINA, will also commence in Canada early this year and is designed as a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled study. It aims to evaluate the safety and biological activity of AMX0114, targeting calpain-2, a protein associated with neurodegenerative processes. The trial will involve approximately 48 individuals with ALS, who will be randomized to receive either the investigational drug or a placebo. Amylyx plans to monitor changes in neurofilament light (NfL) levels, a biomarker for ALS, during the trial. The company anticipates sharing early cohort data from the LUMINA trial within the year. These developments are part of Amylyx’s ongoing efforts to address significant unmet medical needs in neurodegenerative diseases.
