Interventions
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are a type of medicine that treats diseases by intercepting the mRNA messages sent within the cell, resulting in fewer specific proteins being made. AMX0114 is an ASO that targets the mRNA messenger that instructs the body to create a protein called calpain-2. Calpain-2 has been linked to the degeneration and death of neurons in many neurological diseases, including people living with sporadic ALS. AMX0114 is designed to reduce the levels of calpain-2, with the goal of slowing down the process that leads to neuron injury and death.
