“Neurodegenerative disorders like ALS and FTD have historically been a challenging therapeutic area, with no disease modifying treatments today. We are excited to partner with Bristol Myers Squibb and its world-class neuroscience leaders, who share our vision of leveraging human genetics, mac...
Scientists don’t fully understand what causes the disease, and there are only two approved treatments. Neither has shown to both extend life and slow functional decline. But Amylyx Pharmaceuticals’ experimental drug did both in a small Phase 2 trial. Patients treated with the drug lived on ave...
Klee stressed the importance of getting experimental treatments into people. “For so long, there was great science in ALS [but] there wasn’t the translation into clinical trials, and I think that’s started to change,” Klee added. “We have great preclinical models, but the re...
Utilizing the Taguchi experimental design methodology, heat treatments were administered to the spoke region of the wheels, employing three distinct parameters: solution treatment, aging temperature, and time. The analysis outcomes underwent assessment employing the Taguchi method, analysis of variance, and...
