Clinical molecule in transgenic human SOD1G93A mice and rats: SOD1 mRNA reduction; improved lifespan and rotarod in mouse
“In vivo studies conducted in transgenic mice and rats that express human mutant SOD1 (i.e., SOD1G93A), indicated reductions in SOD1 MRNA in tissue, and improved lifespan and rotorod performance in mouse.”
Activity shown in human SOD1 G93A transgenic mice/rats and monkeys; provides mechanistic rationale and supports a delayed treatment effect
“In vivo pharmacological activity of tofersen was demonstrated in transgenic mouse and rat models, each expressing human SOD1 with a G93A mutation, and in Cynomolgus monkeys. The non-clinical findings provide a mechanistic rational for the effect of tofersen and support a delay in the treatment effect of tofersen.”
