Study Summary

The primary objectives of Parts A and B of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ascending doses of tofersen in adults with ALS and a documented superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mutation. The primary objective of Part C of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tofersen administered to adults with ALS and a confirmed SOD1 mutation. The secondary objective of Parts A and B of this study is to evaluate the effects of tofersen on levels of total SOD1 protein in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The secondary objectives of Part C are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic (PD), and biomarker effects of tofersen.

Primary Outcome

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A SAE is any untoward
