Self-Assessment: Novel Therapeutic Approaches for ...
Self-Assessment: Novel Therapeutic Approaches for ALS: From Bench to Bedside | Selected Topics on MG
From 2023 Annual Meeting session content.
Course Description
This self-assessment course is created from two sessions held at the 2023 Annual Meeting.
Novel Therapeutic Approaches for ALS: From Bench to Bedside
Recognize the expectation and unmet needs
for ALS treatment; discuss the preclinical data
in ALS supporting novel therapeutic a
pproaches, existing data on trials, and the
challenges and opportunities for these
approaches; and explain recent progress in
trial designs and pharmacological therapies.
Novel therapeutics and improving study
design will be discussed including use of
antisense oligonucleotides for familial ALS,
cell therapy, recently approved drugs
(Relyvrio and edaravone), and drugs under
development. Review recently completed and
ongoing clinical trials for familial ALS focusing
on ASOs for SOD1, FUS, C9, ATXN-2;
lessons from observational trials for presymptomatic
gene carriers (PreFALS study,
PREVENT ALS study which is the merger of
DIALS at MGH/WashU and ALS Families at
Columbia, ALL-FTD) and how these our
inform knowledge of presymptomatic/
prodromal ALS; and discuss
movement towards preventative therapies for
familial ALS (ATLAS trial of tofersen).
Selected Topics on MG
Summarize how to discuss with myasthenic
patients general care topics such as proper
nutrition, exercise, infection control,
immunization, and preparation for surgery;
recognize medication influence on MG; review
how to avoid medication induced
exacerbation; and discuss how to diagnose
and manage myasthenic crisis.
Objectives:
1. Recognize the expectation and unmet needs for ALS treatment, including identifying the limitations of current therapeutic approaches.
2. Identify the challenges and opportunities associated with novel therapeutic approaches for ALS, including factors such as drug development and patient care.
3. Summarize essential care topics for myasthenic patients, including proper nutrition, exercise, infection control, immunization, and preparation for surgery.
4. Discuss the diagnosis and management of myasthenic crisis, including the identification of warning signs, appropriate interventions, and critical care considerations for severe MG cases.
