Experimental ALS Therapies QRL-201 and Neflamapimod Advance in Clinical Trials
May 30, 2026
Two experimental ALS therapies showed promise in recent clinical developments. Interim Phase 1/2 data suggest the antisense oligonucleotide QRL-201 restores a critical nerve protein and may slow disease decline, with a Phase 3 trial planned for 2027. Meanwhile, the oral therapy neflamapimod has been selected for testing in the UK's EXPERTS-ALS platform study, with first results expected this spring.
