abstract = {In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) caused by SOD1
mutations (SOD1-ALS), tofersen received accelerated approval
in the United States and is available via expanded access
programs (EAP) outside the United States. This multicenter
study investigates clinical and patient-reported outcomes
(PRO) and serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) during
tofersen treatment in an EAP in Germany.Sixteen SOD1-ALS
patients receiving tofersen for at least 6 months were
analyzed. The ALS progression rate (ALS-PR), as measured by
the monthly change of the ALS functional rating
scale-revised (ALSFRS-R), slow vital capacity (SVC), and
sNfL were investigated. PRO included the Measure Yourself
Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP2), Treatment Satisfaction
Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9), and Net Promoter
Score (NPS).Mean tofersen treatment was 11 months (6-18
months). ALS-PR showed a mean change of -0.2 (range 0 to
-1.1) and relative reduction by $25\%.$ Seven patients
demonstrated increased ALSFRS-R. SVC was stable (mean
$88\%,$ range $-15\%$ to $+28\%).$ sNfL decreased in all
patients except one heterozygous D91A-SOD1 mutation carrier
(mean change of sNfL $-58\%,$ range -91 to $+27\%,$ p <
.01). MYMOP2 indicated improved symptom severity (n = 10) or
yet perception of partial response (n = 6). TSQM-9 showed
high global treatment satisfaction (mean 83, SD 16) although
the convenience of drug administration was modest (mean 50,
SD 27). NPS revealed a very high recommendation rate for
tofersen (NPS +80).Data from this EAP supported the clinical
and sNfL response to tofersen in SOD1-ALS. PRO suggested a
favorable patient perception of tofersen treatment in
clinical practice.},
