Full Study Summary:

In this open-label, compassionate extended use study, patients who have completed their participation in an Amylyx sponsored protocol for ALS may be offered compassionate use extension of treatment with AMX0035 under this protocol. Patient currently treated with AMX0035 will continue to receive treatment at their current dose/regimen.
