(Nasdaq: AMLX) (“Amylyx or the “Company”) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted briefing documents for the reconvened Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee (PCNSDAC) meeting to review the New Drug Application (NDA) for AMX0035 (sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol [also known as ursodoxicoltaurine]) for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The second meeting of the PCNSDAC for the AMX0035 NDA is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, September 7, 2022. The briefing materials and webcast information can be accessed here.
