Amylyx Pharmaceuticals Announces First Participant Dosed in Phase 1, Multiple Ascending Dose LUMINA Trial of AMX0114 in People Living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis<\/b><\/p>\n

\n– Amylyx expects early cohort data from LUMINA this year<\/i><\/p>\n

\n– AMX0114 is an Amylyx-developed antisense oligonucleotide designed to target calpain-2, a key contributor to the axonal degeneration pathway in ALS<\/i><\/p>\n

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.<\/a> (NASDAQ: AMLX) (\u201cAmylyx\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) today announced that the first participant has been dosed in LUMINA, the Company\u2019s Phase 1, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose clinical trial of AMX0114, an investigational, potent antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) targeting calpain-2, in people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The Company continues to expect early cohort data from LUMINA in 2025.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe LUMINA trial (NCT06665165<\/a>) will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AMX0114 in people living with ALS. LUMINA will also assess broadly researched ALS biomarkers, including change from baseline in neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels. LUMINA is anticipated to enroll approximately 48 people living with ALS across North America. Participants will be randomized 3:1 to receive AMX0114 or placebo by intrathecal administration once every four weeks for a total of up to 4 doses.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAMX0114 targets calpain-2, which has been found to be an important contributor to axonal degeneration and studied over decades of research as a potential target for the treatment of ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases. In preclinical studies, AMX0114 showed improved neuronal survival and reductions in extracellular NfL levels across multiple disease models. We are excited to progress AMX0114 into the clinic for people with ALS as we work to advance a potential therapy for this relentlessly progressive, fatal disease,\u201d said Camille L. Bedrosian, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Amylyx.\n<\/p>\n

\nAmylyx designed AMX0114 to target calpain-2, a calcium-activated protease. Peer-reviewed research has demonstrated that overactive calpain-2 activity may be an important driver of disease progression in ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases by executing the degeneration of axons, the long tubular neuronal segments which carry signals from neurons to the muscle or other neurons. Preclinical studies in ALS models suggest that the inhibition of calpain-2 may improve neuron survival and mitigate axonal degeneration.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cALS is a devastating and fatal neurodegenerative disease with limited treatment options, underscoring the urgent need for new therapeutic approaches that target the underlying mechanisms driving ALS progression. AMX0114 represents a potential therapeutic approach to inhibiting one of the fundamental drivers of axonal degeneration,\u201d said Sabrina Paganoni, MD, PhD, principal investigator of the LUMINA trial, investigator at the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital, and member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Northeast Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Consortium (NEALS). \u201cDosing the first participant in LUMINA is a step toward a potential treatment option for people living with ALS and their loved ones.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nMore information about the LUMINA clinical trial can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov<\/a>, NCT06665165.\n<\/p>\n

About AMX0114<\/b><\/p>\n

\nAMX0114 is an investigational antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) targeting calpain-2 (CAPN2<\/i>) for the potential treatment of ALS. In preclinical studies, treatment with AMX0114 resulted in potent, dose-dependent, and durable reduction in CAPN2 mRNA and calpain-2 protein levels in disease-relevant cell models of axonal degeneration. This translated to improved neuronal survival, including in a model of TDP-43 ALS, and reductions in extracellular neurofilament light (NfL) levels across multiple disease models and paradigms of neuronal injury. AMX0114 was well-tolerated in in vivo<\/i> preclinical safety studies.\n<\/p>\n

About LUMINA<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe Phase 1 LUMINA clinical trial (NCT06665165<\/a>) is a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AMX0114 in people living with ALS. LUMINA is anticipated to enroll approximately 48 adult participants. LUMINA will also assess change from baseline in calpain-2 levels, neurofilament light (NfL) levels, and other pharmacodynamic biomarkers of ALS.\n<\/p>\n

About ALS<\/b><\/p>\n

\nAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as motor neuron disease) is a relentlessly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by motor neuron death in the brain and spinal cord. Motor neuron loss in ALS leads to deteriorating muscle function, the inability to move and speak, respiratory paralysis, and eventually, death. More than 90% of people with ALS have sporadic disease, showing no clear family history.\n<\/p>\n

About Amylyx Pharmaceuticals<\/b><\/p>\n

\nAt Amylyx, our mission is to usher in a new era of treating diseases with high unmet needs. Where others see challenges, we see opportunities that we pursue with urgency, rigorous science, and unwavering commitment to the communities we serve. We are currently focused on three investigational therapies across several neurodegenerative and endocrine diseases in which we believe they can make the greatest impact.
