Long-term safety monitoring of tofersen (Qalsody) in people with SOD1 ALS

Official title: An Observational Registry-Based Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety of Tofersen in People With SOD1-ALS

Run by Biogen · NCT07259980 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will see how safe tofersen (Qalsody) is over time in people with ALS caused by SOD1 mutations by collecting health information without changing their care.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are people with a confirmed SOD1 mutation and an ALS diagnosis who are followed in the contributing registries and who have taken or are taking tofersen.

Probably not a fit

People without SOD1 mutations, those not enrolled in the contributing registry networks, or whose data were collected while participating in other interventional trials are unlikely to benefit from this study's findings.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational effort collects safety and clinical data on people with SOD1-ALS who are captured in two contributing registry networks (Precision-ALS in Europe and the ALS/Motor Neuron Disease Natural History Consortium in the United States). The study focuses on documenting serious adverse events, including neurologic events reported in prior tofersen trials (for example myelitis, radiculitis, aseptic meningitis, raised intracranial pressure, or papilledema), as well as new comorbidities, pregnancy outcomes, and treatment discontinuation. Data already began to accrue in the NHC registry while TRICALS collection is pending. Information from participating centers such as Mass General Hospital will be pooled without changing routine clinical care, and data collected during other interventional trials are excluded.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could clarify long-term risks and rare serious neurologic events linked to tofersen and inform safer prescribing and monitoring for people with SOD1-ALS.

How similar studies have gone: Prior clinical trials of tofersen reported potential clinical effects alongside rare serious neurologic adverse events, and registry-based observational approaches have been used previously to monitor long-term safety of ALS therapies.
