Following the recording of this episode, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA have announced that they have approved an MND treatment called Tofersen (Qalsody) for the treatment of SOD1 MND in the United States. SOD1 MND is where there is a mutation within the SOD1 gene and accounts for around 2% of all MND cases. This news is a significant step forward in the fight against MND and further highlights the commitment and dedication of the MND community in finding effective treatments. Tofersen is currently not approved in the UK. However, it is being reviewed by the European Medicines Agency to see if the treatment could be approved in the UK and Europe.
