Coya Therapeutics to open ALS extension in November 2026; FTD trial delayed to 2027
Coya Therapeutics plans to start an open-label extension of its Phase 2/3 ALSTARS trial of COYA 302 in ALS in November 2026, in response to requests from investigators and participants. To prioritize the ALS program, the company now expects its Phase 2 trial of COYA 302 in frontotemporal dementia to start in 2027 rather than the second half of 2026, while its cash runway guidance is unchanged.
Key points
- Open-label extension expected to begin in November 2026, as the first cohort completes the 48-week treatment period
- Phase 2 trial in frontotemporal dementia now expected in 2027, previously anticipated in the second half of 2026
- Cash resources expected to fund operations into the second half of 2027, beyond the anticipated ALSTARS topline data readout
- ALSTARS trial to randomize approximately 120 subjects; primary endpoint is change in ALSFRS-R total score at Week 24 versus placebo
