Present Treatments & Hopeful Future Directions for ALS Pharmacotherapies

Worldwide Clinical Trials

An area of interest has been deciphering ALS’s genetic underpinnings and delivering functional copies of dysfunctional genes to the patient. The targeted ASOs aim to downregulate the expression of gene mutations that are associated with gain-of-function toxicity that leads to motor neuron loss in some ALS cases.
