“We believe QRL-201 has the potential to halt disease progression, which could transform the care and treatment of ALS.

“We are dedicated to ensuring efficient advancement of our ANQUR clinical trial so that we can fulfil our mission to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives.”

The ANQUR trial is expected to be initiated by the fourth quarter of this year in participating EU countries, including the Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, and Belgium.
