Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 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.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Diagnosis

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a difficult disease to diagnose. There is no one test or procedure to establish the diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ultimately. It is through a clinical examination and a series of diagnostic tests, often ruling out other diseases that mimic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 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 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is routinely offered to patients with a positive family history (C9orf72, SOD1, TDP‐43, FUS, and TBK‐1).

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment

There is no cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, 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 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 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 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis are IV Radicava (Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma), Rilutek/Riluzole) (Sanofi/Covis), Exservan (Aquestive Therapeutics), and Tiglutik/ Teglutik (ITF Pharma). In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, 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.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 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 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and no effective treatment to halt or reverse the progression of the disease. The treatment landscape of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 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 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, 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.

For the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Riluzole is recommended as first-line therapy in all three regions – Japan, the US, and Europe. Riluzole was first approved in the US by the FDA in 1995, and it was later approved in many other countries in the ensuing decades. It is a medication that appears to prolong the life of some people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosisby at least a few months. Riluzole seems to do two things: block sodium and calcium channels and increase glutamate clearance. Currently, no other drug is globally approved for slowing the progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. 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. Recently in June 2022, riluzole oral suspension TIGLUTIK was approved in China. In March 2022, Haisco Pharmaceutical acquired the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize EXSERVAN, for the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in China.

The most recent development in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis was the addition of RELYVRIO for the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. On September 29, 2022, US FDA approved RELYVRIO (sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol) for the treatment of adults with ALS. In May 2022, an oral suspension formulation of RADICAVA was approved by FDA for the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The oral medication has the same dosing regimen as RADICAVA.

Nevertheless, recently some developmental initiatives have been taken towards the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Several pharmaceutical key players have taken to the initiative to meet the unmet needs of the present situation of the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis market. Some of the key players are in the late and mid clinical development stages with their leading drug candidates.
