Understanding AMX0035's Potential in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Episode 99, Oct 05, 2023, 05:55 PM
Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.
In this episode, Gunter Hoglinger, MD, professor of neurology and translational neuroscientist at Ludwig Maximillian's University Munich, provided commentary on a newly initiated phase 3 study assessing AMX0035 (Relyrvio; Amylyx Pharmaceuticals) in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Otherwise known as the ORION trial, Hoglinger discussed what went into trial inclusion, primary end points, and why they believe this therapy, which was approved for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2022, could have benefits in PSP.
