Debate
A highlight of the ENCALS Meeting was the debate by 2 key opinion leaders, moderated by the Chair of ENCALS and TRICALS, Prof.van den Berg.
The debate focused on the types of evidence that should be acceptable for a drug to be made available for those with ALS, and was entitled “Early to Market or Definitive Evidence”.
Following extensive discussion, and also taking into account the perspective of those with ALS, the consensus view among ENCALS delegates was that definitive evidence that a drug is effective, is required. Definitive evidence can only be obtained from a properly conducted Phase 3 randomised controlled trial. This is required to ensure that we are prescribing safe and effective drugs for people with ALS.
While neither ENCALS nor TRICALS members can speak for decisions made by EMA, which is the EU regulatory authority with representation from all EU members, TRICALS will ensure that as new biomarkers and outcome measures are validated, the Executive will seek to work with EMA to ensure that these are incorporated in to the approval process.
