In this study, researchers will learn more about the safety of tofersen, also known as Qalsody®. This is a drug available for doctors to prescribe for people with a certain type of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS. This type is in people who have a mutation in the superoxide dismutase 1 gene, also known as SOD-1.
This is known as a "postmarketing" study. In this kind of the study, the goal is to learn more about how a drug works after it has been approved for use in the general public. Tofersen was approved in China in September 2024. The main goal of this study is to collect long-term safety information in Chinese participants with SOD-1 ALS.
The main question researchers want to answer in this study is:
• How many participants have adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)?
An AE is a health problem that may or may not be caused by a drug during the study. An AE is considered serious when it results in death, is life-threatening, causes lasting problems, or requires hospital care.
Researchers will also learn more about :
This study will be done as follows:
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of tofersen in participants with SOD1-ALS in post marketing setting in China.
The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of tofersen in participants with SOD1-ALS in the postmarketing setting in China.
