Phase 3
Amylyx announced Thursday morning that it will pull its ALS drug Relyvrio from the US and Canadian markets. The decision comes as Amylyx will also lay off around 70% of its workforce in order to extend its cash runway to 2026, it said in a press release. Relyvrio will not be available for new patients as of today, but patients who are currently taking the therapy can continue to do so for free. “While this is a difficult moment for the ALS community, we reached this path forward in partnership with the stakeholders who will be impacted and in line with our steadfast commitment to people living with ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases,” co-CEOs Justin Klee and Joshua Cohen said in a statement .
