Expanded Access Program for Tofersen in Participants With Superoxide Dismutase 1-Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis

June 7, 2024 updated by: Biogen

Global Early Access Program to Provide Tofersen To Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Associated With a Mutation in the Superoxide Dismutase 1 (SOD1) Gene

The objective of this early access program (EAP) is to provide access to tofersen to eligible participants with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) associated with a mutation in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene prior to an alternative access mechanism in order to address a high unmet medical need in this population.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Approved for marketing

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Treating healthcare professionals (HCPs) of participants who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria may request access by emailing medicineaccess@clinigengroup.com. The current EAP structure does not limit participants to receive access at specific sites. Treating HCPs can submit requests on behalf of participants by emailing Clinigen at the email address provided below. Information on the EAP eligibility criteria, including participants and center criteria, will be provided by Clinigen as part of the enrollment request process.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Expanded Access

Expanded Access Type

Expanded Access Type

Describes the category of expanded access under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. There are three types of expanded access:
  • Individual Patients: Allows a single patient, with a serious disease or condition who cannot participate in a clinical trial, access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This category also includes access in an emergency situation.
  • Intermediate-size Population: Allows more than one patient (but generally fewer patients than through a Treatment IND/Protocol) access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This type of expanded access is used when multiple patients with the same disease or condition seek access to a specific drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA.
  • Treatment IND/Protocol: Allows a large, widespread population access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This type of expanded access can only be provided if the product is already being developed for marketing for the same use as the expanded access use.
  • Intermediate-size Population

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

N/A

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description
