Who is Rilazole for?
22:50
Rilazole is for people with the ALS variant of motor neuron disease.
22:55
So that's most people with it? Yeah, that's correct.
22:59
And it extends life by, on average, sort of 7 to 19 months, depending on which study you look at.
23:07
The early studies were very short and had some flaws to them.
23:10
They showed 2 to 3 months.
23:12
The later studies that are real-life ones show that it's longer than that.
