ALS Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a group of rare neurological diseases that mainly involve the nerve cells (neurons) responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement. The disease is progressive, meaning the symptoms get worse over time. ALS belongs to a wider group of disorders known as motor neuron diseases caused by gradual deterioration (degeneration) and death of motor neurons. Motor neurons are nerve cells that extend from the brain to the spinal cord and muscles throughout the body. Messages from motor neurons in the brain (called upper motor neurons; UMN) are transmitted to motor neurons in the spinal cord and to motor nuclei of the brain (called lower motor neurons; LMN) and from the spinal cord and motor nuclei of the brain to a particular muscle or muscles. ALS can be either sporadic or genetic. The sporadic type is the most common and can affect anyone. The genetic or familial type is rarer. Common symptoms include painless, progressive muscle weakness. The first thing a person might notice is tripping more often, or dropping things because of the weakness. Slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, and trouble breathing can occur.
Diagnosis
ALS is a difficult disease to diagnose. There is no one test or procedure to establish the diagnosis of ALS ultimately. It is through a clinical examination and a series of diagnostic tests, often ruling out other diseases that mimic ALS. The diagnosis of ALS relies on medical history, physical examination, electrodiagnostic testing (with needle EMG), and neuroimaging. Biomarkers can play a crucial role in diagnostic, prognostic, or predictive research studies. They could potentially become important for the stratification of patients and monitoring treatment effects in clinical trials. Genetic testing of the five most prevalent genes found to be mutated in ALS is routinely offered to patients with a positive family history (C9orf72, SOD1, TDP‐43, FUS, and TBK‐1).
Treatment
There is no cure for ALS, so treatment aims to alleviate symptoms, prevent unnecessary complications, and slow the rate of disease progression. Medical interventions and technology have vastly improved the quality of life for people with ALS by assisting with breathing, nutrition, mobility, and communication. Modern therapeutic strategies comprise of neuroprotective treatment focused on antiglutamatergic, antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory molecules. Drugs approved for the treatment of ALS are IV Radicava (Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma), Rilutek/Riluzole) (Sanofi/Covis), Exservan (Aquestive Therapeutics), and Tiglutik/ Teglutik (ITF Pharma). In ALS, opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used to relieve discomfort. A combination of quinidine and dextromethorphan called Nuedexta (Avanir Pharmaceuticals) has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat pseudobulbar effect, however it can lengthen the QT interval, raising the risk of cardiac arrhythmia.
ALS Epidemiology
The ALS epidemiology division provides insights about historical and current ALS patient pool and forecasted trends for every seven major countries. It helps to recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the DelveInsight report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends along with assumptions undertaken.
Key Findings
The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted ALS epidemiology [segmented as total prevalent cases, total diagnosed cases, age-specific cases, type-specific cases, mutation-specific cases, site of onset and gender-specific cases of ALS] in the 7MM covering the United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan from 2019 to 2032.
Country Wise- ALS Epidemiology
- Estimates show that the highest cases of ALS in the 7MM were in the United States, followed by Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, and Spain in the year 2021.
- The total diagnosed prevalent cases of ALS in the 7MM range from 52,099 in 2021 growing at a CAGR of 1.04% during the study period (2019–2032).
- Epidemiology assessed for the condition showed that the US, in 2021, accounted for approximately 20,556 diagnosed prevalent cases of ALS.
- Among the EU-5 countries in 2021, Germany had the highest diagnosed prevalent cases of ALS with 5,061 cases, followed by UK (4,276) and Italy (4,226). In contrast, Spain had the lowest cases (3,065) in 2021.

It also helps to understand the ALS clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, approval and patent details, advantages and disadvantages of each included drug and the latest news and press releases.
Marketed Drugs
Radicava (Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation)
Radicava (edaravone) is a free radical scavengers and administered as intravenous infusion of 60 mg over 60 minutes. Radicava received fast track and orphan drug designation by FDA and Orphan drug designation by EMA. It is approved in the USA and Japan for the treatment of ALS. In May 2019, Radicava, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma notified the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) that it wishes to withdraw its application for a marketing authorisation for Radicava intended for the treatment of ALS. The company is currently conducting a Phase III trial for long-term safety and tolerability of oral edaravone for the treatment of ALS.
Exservan (Aquestive Therapeutics)
Exservan (Riluzole oral film) consists of a thin film that is placed on the tongue, utilizes the company’s “PharmFilm” technology. The dissolving oral film can be taken twice daily without water, making it easier for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills or liquids. Riluzole oral film received the US FDA Orphan Drug designation which is used as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of ALS. Aquestive Therapeutics announced the exclusive license to Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Holdings America (MTHA) for the commercialization Exservan in the United States and Zambon for the development and commercialization of Exservan in the European Union for the treatment of ALS.
Tiglutik/ Teglutik (ITF Pharma)
Tiglutik (riluzole) oral suspension is indicated for the treatment of ALS. Tiglutik is the first and only easy-to-swallow thickened riluzole liquid for ALS and is administered twice daily via an oral syringe. Teglutik was first launched in the European markets after it was approved by US FDA as Tiglutik for the treatment of ALS.
Nuedexta (Avanir Pharmaceuticals)
Nuedexta (dextromethorphan hydrobromide/quinidine sulfate) is the only approved medication that has proven to be effective in lowering down the Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA). Nuedexta acts on sigma-1 and NMDA receptors in the brain, although the mechanism by which Nuedexta exerts therapeutic effects in patients with PBA is unknown. It is approved in the USA and Europe for the treatment of PBA associated with certain neurological conditions such as ALS.
Note: Detailed Current therapies assessment will be provided in the full report of ALS
ALS Emerging Drugs
AMX0035 (Amylyx Pharmaceuticals)
Amylyx Pharmaceuticals is developing AMX0035, an investigational neuroprotective therapy, which is a fixed-dose co-formulation of two active compounds, namely, sodium phenylbutyrate (PB) and Taurursodiol (tauroursodeoxycholic acid [TUDCA]). Based on data from the Phase II CENTAUR trial, the FDA has accepted Amylyx‘s NDA for AMX0035 for the treatment of ALS. The FDA also granted Priority Review and assigned a prescription drug user fee act date for AMX0035 of June 29, 2022. A phase III (Phoenix) trial of the drugs is currently ongoing. AMX0035 has the potential to become the newest approval for the treatment of ALS. We expect this drug to compete with Oral Radicava, and other drugs from the HEALEY ALS platform trial. Although Amylyx is expected to enter the US and EU5 market first when compared to Oral Radicava, which is expected to follow the footsteps of IV Radicava in terms of first market entry in Japan.
Tofersen (Biogen/Ionis Pharmaceuticals)
Tofersen (Biogen/Ionis Pharmaceuticals), also known as BIIB067, is an antisense drug designed to reduce the production of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), which is the best understood genetic cause of familial ALS. The drug is being currently investigated in two Phase III trials for the treatment of ALS caused by SOD1 mutation. In October 2021, the company presented the Phase III results from VALOR (Part C), which showed that the trial did not meet the primary endpoint. This failure could likely hinder Biogen’s planned filing for FDA approval in the ALS market.
ION363 (Ionis Pharmaceuticals)
Ionis Pharmaceuticals’ portfolio for ALS also includes ION363, another investigational antisense medicine for ALS, designed to reduce the Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) protein production. The drug is owned by Ionis and is in development for patients with a rare genetic form of ALS caused by mutations in the FUS gene, which causes motor neuron degeneration through a toxic gain of function mechanism. ION363 can potentially reduce or prevent disease progression in FUS-ALS patients, and the data from the ongoing Phase III trial is expected in 2024.
Masitinib (AB Sciences)
AB Sciences’ Masitinib is an orally administered tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which has already completed a Phase II/III trial and has attained positive results, followed by a green signal from the US FDA on the IND application. The drug is under investigation for a Phase III trial in patients with ALS but was previously put on hold due to a potential risk of ischemic heart disease with masitinib, voluntary by the company – the trial was resumed after the FDA authorization.
Verdiperstat (Biohaven)
Biohaven’s Verdiperstat is a first-in-class, potent, selective, brain-permeable, irreversible myeloperoxidase (MPO) enzyme inhibitor. The drug was licensed from AstraZeneca in 2018. It was selected as an investigational therapy for inclusion in the first HEALEY ALS platform trial by an independent scientific advisory committee in September 2019 and is currently in Phase II/III clinical trial for the treatment of ALS, for which top-line results are anticipated in mid-2022. The drug has recently failed in a Phase III trial of Multiple System Atrophy, thereby disappointing our hopes for ALS till the time any convincing results are out for ALS specifically.
Note: Detailed emerging therapies assessment will be provided in the final report.
ALS Market Outlook
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a group of rare neurological diseases mainly involving the nerve cells (neurons) responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement. Voluntary muscles produce movements like chewing, walking, and talking. The disease is progressive, meaning the symptoms get worse over time.
Currently, there is no cure for ALS and no effective treatment to halt or reverse the progression of the disease. The treatment landscape of ALS includes multidisciplinary care, such as physical therapy, speech therapy, dietary counselling, heat or whirlpool therapy and others. Medications are also prescribed to help manage symptoms of ALS, including pain, muscle cramps, stiffness, excess saliva and phlegm, and the pseudobulbar affect (involuntary or uncontrollable episodes of crying and/or laughing, or other emotional displays). Drugs also are available to help individuals with pain, depression, sleep disturbances, and constipation.
There is no other drug which is globally approved for slowing the progression of ALS. Rilutek, Tiglutik, and Exservan are brand names for different formulations of riluzole, a medicine used in the treatment of ALS. Rilutek is an oral tablet, Tiglutik is an oral suspension, and Exservan is an oral film. Neudexta is approved for the treatment of pseudobulbar effects in conditions such as multiple sclerosis and ALS. Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma received approval to market Radicut (edaravone or MCI-186) for ALS treatment, strictly limited to Japan. Radicava was approved to treat ALS in the US in May 2017, the first new ALS treatment agent in the US in 22 years.
Nevertheless, recently some developmental initiatives have been taken towards the treatment of ALS. Several pharmaceutical key players have taken to the initiative to meet the unmet needs of the present situation of the ALS market. Some of the key players are in the late and mid clinical development stages with their leading drug candidates.
The ALS pipeline possesses drugs in the late-stage development, many of which hold the potential to get launched in the forecast period. The key players include AMX0035 (Amylyx Pharmaceuticals), Tofersen/BIIB067 (Biogen/Ionis Pharmaceuticals), ION363 (Ionis Pharmaceuticals), Ibudilast (MediciNova), Masitinib (AB Science), Pegcetacoplan (Apellis Pharmaceuticals), NurOwn (Brainstorm-Cell Therapeutics), Reldesemtiv (Cytokinetics), Gold Nanocrystals/CNM-Au8 (Clene Nanomedicine), Verdiperstat (Biohaven Pharmaceuticals), Zilucoplan (UCB Pharma), and others investigating their candidates for the treatment of ALS in the 7MM.
According to DelveInsight, ALS market in 7MM is expected to witness a major change in the study period 2019-2032.
Key Findings
- The market size of ALS in the seven major markets is expected to rise from USD 460.4 million in 2021 during the study period (2019–2032).
- Current market dynamics are dominated by the use of Rilutek, Tiglutik, Exservan, Neudexta, Radicava and others (Anti-epileptic drugs, Opioids, NSAIDs, Diuretics, SSRIs, Antidepressants, etc.)
- The therapies with the potential to get launched in the forecast period include AMX0035, Tofersen, ION363, NurOwn, Masitinib, Pegcetacoplan (APL-2) and others. The launch of these therapies may increase market size in the coming years, assisted by an increasing patient pool of ALS patients.
- The United States accounts for the largest market size of ALS compared to EU5 (Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, and Spain) and Japan.
- In the United States, the market size of ALS is anticipated to rise from USD 324.6 million in 2021 during the forecast period.
- Among the EU5 countries, Germany had the largest market size (USD 17.7million) in 2021, while Spain had the smallest with USD 10.7 million.
- In 2021, Japan accounted for a market size of USD 63.2 million.
The United States Market Outlook
The total market size of ALS in the United States is expected to increase with a CAGR of 23.4% in the study period (2019–2032).
EU-5 Countries: Market Outlook
The total market size of ALS in EU5 is expected to increase with a CAGR of 30.4% in the study period (2019–2032).
Japan Market Outlook
The total market size of ALS in the Japan is expected to increase with a CAGR of 20.9% in the study period (2019–2032).
Analyst Commentary
- The pipeline of ALS is very robust, many potential therapies are being investigated for the treatment of ALS, and it is safe to predict that the treatment space will experience a significant impact on the market during the forecast period.
- Most drugs that are in the early stage or have failed to meet their primary endpoints were assumed to have a 50% chance of crossing the line. In the emerging pipeline highest probability of success (POS) was given to AMX0035 75%, followed by Reldesemtiv, and ION363 65%.
- The European market has been quite uncertain about ALS drugs as Nuedexta was initially authorized by the EMA but later withdrawn at the request of the marketing authorization holder. Same scenario occured with Radicava, as Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma notified the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) that it wishes to withdraw its application for a marketing authorisation for the treatment of ALS. So, these two therapies are currently not available in the Europe.
- Although tofersen did not meet the primary endpoint in its Phase III trial, but trends favoring tofersen were seen across multiple secondary and exploratory measures of biologic activity and clinical function. This setback will likely hinder Biogen’s planned filing for FDA approval in the ALS market and actively engaging with regulators, the medical community, patient advocacy groups, and other key stakeholders worldwide to determine potential next steps.
ALS Drugs Uptake
This section focusses on the rate of uptake of the potential drugs recently launched in the ALS market or expected to get launched in the market during the study period 2019-2032. The analysis covers ALS market uptake by drugs; patient uptake by therapies; and sales of each drug. For example-
Tofersen (Biogen/Ionis Pharmaceuticals), is an antisense drug designed to reduce the production of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is expected to first launch in USA (2022) followed by EU5 (2023) and Japan (2024). As per our analysis, Tofersen’s drug uptake in 7MM is expected to be fast and with an estimated probability of success to be 50%. As SOD1 cover only 2% cases of total ALS in USA and EU5, so peak share is expected to be 1.3% in USA and EU5, whereas in Japan SOD1 is expected to cover 4% of the total ALS pool, so expected peak share will be 2.5%.
