Alexion to Discontinue its P-III CHAMPION-ALS Trial of Ultomiris (ravulizumab) for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Shots:

  • The IDMC has recommended the discontinuation of the P-III CHAMPION-ALS trial for Ultomiris (IV- q8w) in adults with ALS. Additionally- enrolled patients will discontinue the study medication and complete any required follow-up assessment
  • The discontinuation is due to lack of efficacy based on the pre-specified interim analysis. No new safety was identified while the results were consistent with the established safety profile of Ultomiris
  • Ultomiris is the 1st long-acting C5 complement inhibitor & is approved in the US- EU & Japan for PNH & aHUS in adults and children aged ≥1mos.
