Lots of gratitude from me, too!! #NurOwn @FDACBER @DrCaliff_FDA

A disease that is 100% fatal is about to become treatable for 2% of #ALS patients. The other 98% will be treatable after the #NurOwn type 2 error is remediated. Huge Gratitude to #FDACBER & @DrCaliff_FDA for listening to patients & making the right call on regulatory flexibility.



Thank you, the SOD1 families and the Legislative team for all the work in getting this approved!

Dear @US_FDA, @DrCaliff_FDA, @FDACDERDirector, today is the day the ALS community holds their breath, waiting in nervous anticipation on your word for #Tofersen. Please give the #SOD1 community a chance to live & thrive with their disease by #EndTheLegacyApproveTofersen #RWE

Thank you @RepTonyGonzales and @RepEscobar for your support for the #ACTFORALS

The first patient dosing through EAP is happening! This EAP is made possible through #Act4ALS. Grateful to @RepClayHiggins and all the members of Congress that passed this landmark legislation. @epjule

There is living proof that #tofersenworks @US_FDA

Almost 4 years into a 6-12 month life expectancy, Chris is here making memories with us on family vacations because #TofersenWorks. @US_FDA, #ApproveTofersen.

Thank you for including me with the amazing women of @iamalsorg @clebeaux @asortarican

Julie’s bright, fun personality makes you feel like you’re at a party even if you’re just in her presence. Life may be different for her after being diagnosed with #ALS, but not her outlook on it: “head up, and never give up HOPE!” You give US hope, Julie! #WomensHistoryMonth

Keep on kicking ass and calling out blatant mistruths! #ALSsucks #DyingWaiting

Tofersen is keeping so many of our friends alive and could have saved so many more lives if there was more access @ChrisSnowCGY @kelsieswrites @sairysays @conniembecker @CEHaddadNP @BridgetRebecca4 @LisaLegacy4ALS @Mayuri_Saxena We are honored to stand with the SOD1 community.



Love this!

The best thing my students ever gave me. I thought they were just really diligent note-takers the whole semester, but it turns out they were compiling a book of all the craziest things I'd said, all *very much* out of context. It's 152 pages long.

March is #WomensHistoryMonth, and women are making history within the ALS movement every day. We want to introduce you to a small handful of them over the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

“I could’ve chosen to focus on what it stole from us or what it challenged us with, but instead, I chose to focus on how it strengthened our love, sense of family, and gave us courage.” Gia, you ARE a beacon! We are honored to have you in the ALS movement with us. #EndALS

If you can tune in for this As Com on #Tofersen, do. @iamalsorg is hosting a viewing party, making it easy for you to participate. If this life-giving therapy is approved for those with the SOD1 gene, this will be a game changer for all in the ALS community! #EndALS

The Advisory Committee meeting about #Tofersen will take place on March 22. I AM ALS is hosting a watch party so we can experience this important event together. Sign up to join us and see a rough outline of the day’s schedule here: iamals.org/action/toferse…

Mindy carries the C9 gene for familial ALS, but that's just one part of her story. She's also a writer, a mom, and an avid player of word games of all kinds. She's on a mission to change the landscape for familial #ALS families. You go, Mindy! #WomensHistoryMonth

Why should the FDA approve #Tofersen? - New data shows a clinically meaningful benefit in individuals living with SOD1-ALS - Data suggests a lower risk of death or PV (permanent ventilation) when Tofersen is initiated earlier in treatment. Source: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

We’ve been posting a lot lately about the upcoming #AdComm about #Tofersen. But what exactly is an AdComm? We’re glad you asked!

Now that you know what an AdComm is, let’s get down to brass tax. What does an AdComm do, and why is it important for #Tofersen?
