Amylyx Pharmaceuticals announced a new post hoc analysis demonstrating significant individual responses to its drug AMX0035 in ALS patients. The findings will be presented at the ENCALS 2022 Meeting on June 2 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The study revealed a higher proportion of patients in the AMX0035 group exhibiting substantial responses compared to placebo. AMX0035 combines sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol to combat neuronal death in ALS. The CENTAUR trial backing this data confirmed its efficacy and safety.
Amylyx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AMLX) announced new findings from the Phase 2 CENTAUR trial, highlighting significant benefits of AMX0035 in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The treatment reduces the risk of death or tracheostomy/permanent assisted ventilation by 49% and lowers the rate of first hospitalization by 44%. Additionally, participants showed a median key event-free survival duration of 4.8 months longer with AMX0035. These results underscore AMX0035's potential impact on delaying severe medical interventions for ALS patients.
Amylyx Pharmaceuticals (AMLX) is progressing towards the commercial launch of AMX0035 for ALS treatment in the U.S. and Canada, contingent on regulatory approval.

Amylyx Pharmaceuticals has published new long-term survival analyses from the Phase 2 CENTAUR trial for AMX0035 (sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol) in ALS patients. The analysis using the rank-preserving structural failure time model estimated a median survival increase of 10.6 months for AMX0035 participants compared to placebo. In specific subgroups, those who transitioned to the open-label extension phase exhibited an even greater median survival increase of 18.8 months. The results highlight the potential survival benefits of AMX0035 in addressing ALS and are detailed in the peer-reviewed journal Muscle & Nerve.
Amylyx Pharmaceuticals announced data from the CENTAUR and PEGASUS clinical trials, confirming that AMX0035 is safe and well tolerated in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
