Dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK), which regulates the c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase pathway involved in axon degeneration and apoptosis following neuronal injury, is a potential therapeutic target in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This first‐in‐human study investigated safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of oral GDC‐0134, a small‐molecule DLK inhibitor. Plasma neurofilament light chain (NFL) levels were explored in GDC‐0134‐treated ALS patients and DLK conditional knockout (cKO) mice.
