Amylyx Pharmaceuticals Provides Update on Accès Compassionnel for AMX0035 in France

L’Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament et des produits de santé (ANSM), the national authority for authorizing medicinal products in France, has granted “accès compassionnel” (compassionate access) to AMX0035 (sodium phenylbutyrate and ursodoxicoltaurine [also known as taurursodiol]) for eligible people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) following a collaborative process involving medical experts, ARSLA and other ALS advocates, ANSM, and Amylyx. AMX0035 is known as RELYVRIO® in the United States and ALBRIOZA™ in Canada. For more information, including eligibility criteria, please visit here.

Separately, the formal re-examination procedure of the Marketing Authorisation Application of AMX0035 for the treatment of adults with ALS in the European Union (EU) remains underway. Amylyx continues to engage with the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to prioritize broad and sustainable access to AMX0035 through the central EU review and approval process.

About RELYVRIO® / ALBRIOZA™ / ALBRIOZA® / AMX0035

RELYVRIO®, an oral, fixed-dose combination of sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol (known as ursodoxicoltaurine outside of the U.S.), is approved to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in adults in the U.S. and approved with conditions as ALBRIOZA™ for the treatment of ALS in Canada. AMX0035 is being studied for the potential treatment of other neurodegenerative diseases, and Amylyx is exploring its treatment in other populations and regions. The formulation of RELYVRIO, ALBRIOZA, and AMX0035 are identical.

About ALS

ALS is a relentlessly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by motor neuron death in the brain and spinal cord. Motor neuron loss in ALS leads to deteriorating muscle function, the inability to move and speak, respiratory paralysis and eventually, death. More than 90% of people with ALS have sporadic disease, showing no clear family history. More than 30,000 people are estimated to be living with ALS in Europe (European Union and United Kingdom). People living with ALS have a median survival of approximately two years from diagnosis.
