JERSEY CITY, N.J., Dec. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America, Inc. (MTPA) today announced seven presentations on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) as part of the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) 32nd International Symposium on ALS/MND, being held virtually December 7-10.

"We look forward to sharing our ongoing research with the ALS community, including the 24-week results from our global Phase 3 study of investigational oral edaravone in the treatment of ALS, as well as details from the ongoing REFINE-ALS biomarker study," said Gustavo A. Suarez Zambrano, M.D., Vice President of Medical Affairs at MTPA. "We are committed to the fight against ALS and continuing to pursue a better understanding of the impact of treatment options on this devastating disease."

ALS data to be presented at the meeting include:

Oral Edaravone Development Program
Presentations include the 24-week results from the global Phase 3 multi-center, open-label study (MT-1186-A01) of investigational oral edaravone in patients with ALS, and the design of an open-label extension study (MT-1186-A03) that is continuing the investigation of safety and tolerability of oral edaravone. Both A01 and A03 studies are conducted by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Development America, Inc. (MTDA). Additionally, an overview of four Phase 1 open-label clinical pharmacology studies for oral edaravone in healthy subjects and patients with ALS will be presented.

About Oral Edaravone (MT-1186)
MT-1186 is an investigational oral formulation of edaravone being studied in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Edaravone was discovered and developed by researchers together with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation (MTPC), headquartered in Osaka, Japan. More information on the oral edaravone development program is available at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04165824 and NCT04577404).

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved RADICAVA® (edaravone) IV on May 5, 2017 as a treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).1 Edaravone was discovered and developed for ALS by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation (MTPC) and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Development America, Inc. (MTDA), commercialized in the U.S. by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America, Inc. The MTPC group companies began researching ALS in 2001 through an iterative clinical platform over a 13-year period. In 2015, edaravone IV was approved for the treatment of ALS in Japan and South Korea.
