JERSEY CITY, N.J., Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America, Inc. (MTPA) today announced the publication of a post-hoc analysis of the pivotal, Phase 3 study (MCI186-19) reviewing the effect of intravenous (IV) RADICAVA® (edaravone) on survival and additional disease progression milestone events in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Results from the analysis, which were published in Muscle & Nerve, suggest that timely and continued treatment with RADICAVA when initiated first was associated with a lower risk of death, tracheostomy, permanent assisted ventilation (PAV) or hospitalization, compared to people with ALS who received placebo first followed by RADICAVA.

Key Points: 
  • During the open-label period, there were two deaths in the EE group and four in the PE group.
  • As these results are from a post-hoc analysis, the results should be interpreted with caution.
  • Lastly, the MCI186-19 study was not powered a priori to analyze the novel composite endpoint of death, tracheostomy, PAV, or hospitalization.
  • "The findings of this post-hoc analysis are encouraging," said Benjamin Rix Brooks, M.D., a longtime leader in ALS research and lead author of the study.
