RADICAVA ORS® Is an Oral Form of RADICAVA (edaravone)
RADICAVA® has been shown to slow the loss of physical function by 33% (approximately one-third) vs placebo.
This means a 33% less decline in physical function for patients on RADICAVA® vs those on placebo.
In the clinical study, RADICAVA® slowed the loss of physical function as measured by the ALSFRS-R. At 24 weeks (about 6 months), patients who did not receive RADICAVA® declined more rapidly in physical function, having lost an average of 2.49 points more than those who received RADICAVA®.
Individual results may vary.
On the ALSFRS-R, the fewer points lost, the greater the physical function.
Patients on RADICAVA® lost fewer ALSFRS-R points on average at 6 months.
3X as many patients given RADICAVA® lost 2 or less points
(39.1% RADICAVA® vs 13.2% placebo)
A similar number of patients in both treatment arms lost 3 to 10 points (37/69 with RADICAVA® and 43/68 with placebo).
3X as many patients given placebo lost 11 or less points
(23.5% placebo vs 7.2% RADICAVA®)
Over 90% of patients in each group were also being treated with riluzole.

When it came to RADICAVA®, I extensively researched any information available and had in-depth discussions with my neurologist and we decided it was the right choice for me.
Understanding the Safety Profile of RADICAVA ORS® and RADICAVA® IV
RADICAVA ORS® is the oral formulation of RADICAVA® and has a similar safety profile.
The safety profiles of RADICAVA® and RADICAVA ORS® were established in 500+ patients with ALS in multiple clinical studies.
Side effect profile:
The safety of the IV formulation of RADICAVA® was evaluated in multiple placebo-controlled studies in 184 patients with ALS
RADICAVA ORS® was generally well tolerated in a 6-month clinical study of 185 patients with ALS
The most common side effects were bruising (contusion) [15%], problems with walking (gait disturbance) [13%], and headache [10%]. Fatigue was also reported in 7.6% of patients taking RADICAVA ORS®
These are not all of the possible side effects with RADICAVA® or RADICAVA ORS®.
RADICAVA ORS® and RADICAVA® IV have no known drug interactions
Fewer than 6% (11/185) of patients discontinued RADICAVA ORS® because of side effects in the 6-month safety study in 185 patients with ALS
Approximately 1% (2/185) of patients discontinued RADICAVA ORS® due to gastrointestinal side effects (diarrhea and trouble swallowing)
Other reasons for discontinuation in ~1% (2/185) of patients included respiratory failure and muscular weakness
