A New Approach to Treating ALS...Dr. Arun Swaminathan, CEO, Coya Therapeutics
Q: How does the trial work and how long is participation?
The trial lasts 48 weeks with six months blinded; participants have a 2:1 chance of receiving active treatment versus placebo, and after six months placebo patients cross over to active treatment; dosing is every two weeks.
A New Approach to Treating ALS...Dr. Arun Swaminathan, CEO, Coya Therapeutics
Q: What is the drug strategy Coya is pursuing for ALS?
The therapy combines two drugs to keep the immune system balanced: Lodocitrin-Lukin-2 to expand regulatory T cells and CTLA-4-IG to curb inflammatory cytokines, aiming to slow disease progression.
A New Approach to Treating ALS...Dr. Arun Swaminathan, CEO, Coya Therapeutics
Q: Who gets ALS and why do they get ALS?
Most ALS cases (80-85%) are sporadic with no known cause, while about 10-15% are genetic; mutations such as C9-ORF72 and SOD1 are linked to higher risk and inflammatory pathways.
A New Approach to Treating ALS...Dr. Arun Swaminathan, CEO, Coya Therapeutics
Q: How long is that patient journey, and what does the typical progression look like?
The typical journey lasts three to five years, though some individuals progress much faster or slower; ALS can begin with mild weakness and advance to widespread motor impairment and reliance on ventilators as the disease progresses.
A New Approach to Treating ALS...Dr. Arun Swaminathan, CEO, Coya Therapeutics
Q: Now I want to start by focusing on ALS, what is ALS like for someone with the condition?
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease where motor function declines over three to five years on average, with symptoms often starting in a single limb and gradually affecting multiple muscles, eventually requiring assistive devices and ventilatory support.
