Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The FUS/TLS therapeutic landscape is bifurcated between neurodegeneration (ALS/FTD) and oncology (myxoid liposarcoma). In neurodegeneration, the field is pivoting from SOD1-targeted approaches toward the FUS/TLS and TDP-43 axis, driven by the understanding that gain-of-toxicity from cytoplasmic aggregation drives pathology. As first-generation antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) advance for SOD1, FUS-targeted ASOs and small-molecule phase separation modulators are entering preclinical development. In oncology, targeting the FUS-CHOP fusion oncoprotein in liposarcoma represents a distinct mechanistic challenge requiring transcription factor disruption technologies.
