Active clinical trials for "Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis"

Aim of the study is to verify whether neuromuscular magnetic stimulation can improve muscle function in spinal-onset Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients.

This is a phase II study to determine the safety and tolerability of ILB , a type of low molecular weight dextran sulfate, in patients with Motor Neurone Disease (MND)/ Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

This is an open label, off label study, to provide interested ALS patients with Ciprofloxacin/Celecoxib fixed dose combination, while assessing safety and tolerability and routine disease progression measures (ALSFRS-R and Vital Capacity).

The LIPCAL-ALS study (NCT02306590) has provided preliminary evidence that a high-caloric nutrition might prolong survival in fast-progressing ALS patients. Since increasing the amount of calories of the intervention might possibly increase the beneficial effect, the investigators seek to investigate whether an ultra-high caloric diet (UHCD), featuring the double amount of calories compared to LIPCAL-ALS, will be well tolerated by ALS patients and may serve as an intervention for a potential LIPCALII study. For this purpose, the investigators will compare two different UHCDs (one fat-rich and one carbohydrate-rich) with regard to safety and tolerability over a time frame of 4 weeks. A third group will receive the original diet from LIPCAL, and a fourth group will receive no intervention (control group).

ALS, also known as "Lou Gehrig's" disease, is a neurodegenerative disease which is fatal. Treatment for ALS is limited and currently consists of primary symptom relief or support. In addition, time from diagnosis to death averages 3-5 years. New Biotic, LLC has submitted an Orphan Drug Designation Application for an investigational probiotic and have indicated the need for more study of this orphaned drug in ALS patients.

Ten patients with motor neurone disease (MND, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS) will be successively enrolled to one of two dose levels of IC14 (human chimeric monoclonal anti-CD14) intravenously for four doses. Patients must be within 3 years of MND diagnosis and have adequate respiratory function. Safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and PK/PD will be measured. To evaluate feasibility of the endpoints, additional endpoints of ALSFRS-R, respiratory function tests, disease biomarkers and patient-reported outcomes will be measured.

The protocol is intended to provide extended treatment with AMX0035 to patients who previously participated in an Amylyx sponsored study of AMX0035 for ALS.

The HEALEY ALS Platform Trial is a perpetual multi-center, multi-regimen clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of investigational products for the treatment of ALS. Regimen A will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single study drug, zilucoplan, in participants with ALS.

The HEALEY ALS Platform Trial is a perpetual multi-center, multi-regimen clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of investigational products for the treatment of ALS. Regimen B will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single study drug, verdiperstat, in participants with ALS.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravenous infusion of plasma from healthy young people for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
