Adaptive Platform Trials to Transform Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Therapy Development

Sabrina Paganoni et al.

Summary: The current therapeutic development in ALS faces limitations in terms of cost, time, and flexibility due to individual randomized clinical trials. Adaptive platform trials provide a novel approach to investigate multiple interventions for a single disease continuously. The Healey ALS Platform Trial is a recently launched trial that aims to identify novel treatments, biomarkers, and trial endpoints rapidly by testing multiple investigational products concurrently in ALS patients.

Safety and Effectiveness of Long-term Intravenous Administration of Edaravone for Treatment of Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Simon Witzel et al.

Summary: This study found that long-term intravenous edaravone therapy for patients with ALS was feasible and well tolerated, but did not provide any disease-modifying benefit compared to standard therapy.

Mitochondrial bioenergetic deficits in C9orf72 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis motor neurons cause dysfunctional axonal homeostasis

Arpan R. Mehta et al.

Summary: The study found that axonal dysfunction in C9orf72-ALS patients is associated with shorter axons, impaired mitochondrial transport, and altered mitochondrial bioenergetics, indicating that mitochondrial dysfunction is a key factor in axonal dysfunction. Increasing mitochondrial biogenesis through genetic manipulation can correct the bioenergetic deficit and rescue axonal length and transport phenotypes.

Clinical trials in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a systematic review and perspective

Charis Wong et al.

Summary: Wong et al. reviewed historical approaches to clinical trials in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and highlighted challenges such as lack of sensitive outcome measures and barriers to participation. They suggested that future trials should be more flexible, scalable and efficient in order to address these challenges. Efforts to develop innovative trial designs, especially adaptive platform trials, may offer significant efficiency gains in evaluating drugs for this devastating neurodegenerative disease.
