The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of tofersen in presymptomatic adult carriers of a superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mutation with elevated neurofilament (NF). The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability tofersen and to evaluate the effect of tofersen on pharmacodynamics (PD)/treatment response biomarkers when initiated prior to versus at the time of emergence of clinically manifest amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Parts B and C: Percentage of Participants with Emergence of Clinically Manifest ALS Within 24 Months of Part B Baseline
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Parts B and C: Time to Emergence of Clinically Manifest ALS
Time frame: Up to 5.6 years
Parts B and C: Change in ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) Total Score
The ALSFRS-R measures 4 functional domains: respiratory, bulbar function, gross motor skills, and fine motor skills. There are 12 questions, each scored from 0 to 4, for a total possible score of 48, with higher scores representing better function.
Time frame: Up to 5.6 years
Parts B and C: Change from Baseline in Percent Predicted Slow Vital Capacity (SVC)
Time frame: Up to 5.6 years
Parts B and C: Percentage of Participants with Outcome as Death or Permanent Ventilation Based on Time to Death or Permanent Ventilation Analysis
Permanent ventilation is defined as ≥22 hours of invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation per day for ≥21 consecutive days.
Time frame: Up to 5.6 years
Parts B and C: Percentage of Participants with Outcome as Deaths Based on Time to Death Analysis
Time frame: Up to 5.6 years
Parts B, C and D: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) during the Treatment Period
Time frame: Parts B and C: Up to 5.6 years and Part D: Up to 2 years
Parts B, C and D: Change from Baseline in Plasma NfL Concentrations
Time frame: Parts B and C: Up to 5.6 years and Part D: Up to 2 years
Parts B, C and D: Change in Total Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) SOD1 Concentrations
Time frame: Parts B and C: Up to 5.6 years and Part D: Up to 2 years
