Targeting TDP-43 in ALS: Regulatory hurdles, trial design deficiencies, and the causal evidence gap for CTx1000.

It is concluded that it is imperative that the field adopts more rigorous biomarker-led methodologies, and that although target-specific degraders offer a sophisticated technological leap, their success depends on addressing fundamental knowledge gaps in target engagement, age-dependent vector tropism, and trial design...

Characterizing shared and distinctive molecular phenotypes across motor regions in ALS with and without TDP-43 pathology in a veteran cohort

These findings identify senescence-associated molecular states within vulnerable neuronal populations in ALS and support a model in which persistent stress adaptation may permit neuronal survival while contributing to progressive cellular dysfunction.

Intrabody B1 targeting TDP-43 modulates neuroinflammatory and metabolic pathways in a preclinical ALS model

Collectively, scFv B1 modulates upstream pathogenic processes associated with TDP-43 proteinopathy but is insufficient to reverse established neurodegeneration after symptom onset, underscoring the need for earlier and likely combinatorial intervention strategies in ALS.
