Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMLX) (“Amylyx” or the
“Company”) today announced the Company will host a virtual webcast
on October 17, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. ET with management and Fumihiko
Urano, MD, PhD, principal investigator of the HELIOS clinical trial
and the Samuel E. Schechter Professor of Medicine in the Division
of Endocrinology, Metabolism & Lipid Research at Washington
University School of Medicine in St. Louis (WashU Medicine), to
discuss topline results from HELIOS, a Phase 2 trial of AMX0035
(sodium phenylbutyrate [PB] and taurursodiol [TURSO, also known as
ursodoxicoltaurine]) for the investigational treatment of Wolfram
syndrome. The live webcast follows the presentation of these data
at the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes
50th Annual Congress in Lisbon, Portugal.
The live webcast can be accessed under “Events and
Presentations” in the Investor section of the Company’s website,
https://investors.amylyx.com/news-events/events, and will be
available for replay for 90 days following the event.
Dr. Fumihiko Urano is a physician and leading medical researcher
at WashU Medicine in St. Louis specializing in the study of Wolfram
syndrome and related disorders, including WFS1-related
disorders/Wolfram-like disorders. As director of the Wolfram
Syndrome Clinic and the Wolfram Syndrome International Registry
& Clinical Study at Washington University, Dr. Urano treats
patients and leads basic science, clinical, translational, and
interventional studies of Wolfram syndrome and related
disorders.
About the HELIOS Trial The HELIOS trial (NCT05676034) is
a 12-participant, open-label, proof of biology, Phase 2 trial
designed to study the effect of AMX0035 on safety and tolerability,
and various measures of endocrinological, neurological, and
ophthalmologic function in adult participants living with Wolfram
syndrome.
About Wolfram Syndrome Wolfram syndrome is an autosomal
recessive neurodegenerative disease characterized by
childhood-onset diabetes, optic nerve atrophy, and
neurodegeneration. Common manifestations of Wolfram syndrome
include diabetes mellitus, optic nerve atrophy, central diabetes
insipidus, sensorineural deafness, neurogenic bladder, and
progressive neurologic difficulties. Genetic and experimental
evidence suggests that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction is a
critical pathogenic component of Wolfram syndrome. The prognosis of
Wolfram syndrome is poor, and many people with the disease die
prematurely with severe neurological disabilities.
About AMX0035 AMX0035 is an oral, fixed-dose combination
of sodium phenylbutyrate (PB) and taurursodiol (TURSO; also known
as ursodoxicoltaurine outside of the U.S.). AMX0035 was designed to
slow or mitigate neurodegeneration by targeting endoplasmic
reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, two connected
central pathways that lead to cell death and neurodegeneration. We
believe that our proprietary combination of PB and TURSO and their
complementary mechanisms of action will allow us to synergistically
target abnormal cell death to better prevent neurodegeneration than
treatment targeted at either mechanism of action alone. AMX0035 is
being studied as a potential treatment for Wolfram syndrome and
progressive supranuclear palsy, two neurodegenerative diseases.
About Amylyx Pharmaceuticals Amylyx is committed to the
discovery and development of new treatment options for communities
with high unmet needs, including people living with serious and
fatal diseases. The Company has preclinical or clinical development
programs underway in neurodegenerative, neuroendocrine, and
endocrine diseases. Since its founding, Amylyx has been guided by
science to address unanswered questions, keeping communities at the
heart and center of all decisions. Amylyx is headquartered in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. For more information, visit amylyx.com
