Biogen Reports Long-Term QALSODY Data Showing Slowed SOD1-ALS Progression in Phase 3 Study

Biogen Inc. announced that The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Neurology has published final results from the completed Phase 3 VALOR study and its open-label extension evaluating QALSODY (tofersen) for the treatment of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The published long-term data, with over 3.5 years of follow-up, indicate that early initiation of QALSODY was associated with a numerically slower decline in clinical function, breathing, and strength, as well as a reduction in the risk of death or permanent ventilation. Sustained reductions in neurofilament, a marker of neurodegeneration, were also observed. In addition, QALSODY is being studied in the ongoing Phase 3 ATLAS trial to assess whether it can delay clinical onset of ALS in presymptomatic individuals with a SOD1 genetic mutation. These results have already been presented through publication in JAMA Neurology.
