Active clinical trials for "Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis"

This study, being conducted under the auspice of the CReATe Consortium, will enroll patients with ALS and related disorders as well as healthy controls, with the goal of facilitating clinical validation of leading biological-fluid based biomarker candidates that may aid therapy development for patients with ALS and related disorders.

This is a Phase 2a single-centre, open single-arm study in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) of intermediate progression rate. Eligible subjects will be administered weekly doses of ILB. A total of 5 subcutaneous (s.c.) doses will be administered at the study clinic. The study consists of 10 visits; One 2-part screening visit, 5 ILB administration visits, and 3 follow-up visits. Each individual patient's study participation will be 4 months, including the screening and follow-up visits. Fifteen patients are planned to be included. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ILB in patients diagnosed with ALS. ILB is a solution for subcutaneous (s.c.) injection in saline solution. The dose administered will depend on the subject's body weight at the second study visit, prior to the first ILB administration. No formal sample size calculation has been performed for this study. The proposed sample size is considered sufficient in this early phase 2 development to provide adequate information on the patients. Categorical data will be presented as counts and percentages. Continuous data will be summarised using descriptive statistics.

The primary objective is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of BIIB078 in participants with chromosome 9 open reading frame 72-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (C9ORF72-ALS). The secondary objective is to evaluate the pharmacokinectic (PK) of BIIB078 in participants with C9ORF72-ALS.

This is a Phase 1b/2a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of intrathecal (IT) WVE-004 in adult patients with C9orf72-associated ALS or FTD. To participate in the study, patients must have a documented mutation (GGGGCC [G4C2] repeat expansion) in the first intronic region of the C9orf72 gene and be diagnosed with ALS or FTD.

The purpose of this study is to study use of advance Digital Health Technologies (DHT) and its validity as measures for assessing progression in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients. A total of 80 ALS patients will be recruited across US, and will involve two sites - St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ, and Emory University ALS Clinic in Atlanta. This will be a fully remote observational study and will employ remote data collection platforms such as (a) A digital spirometry device powered by a mobile app will be used to measure vital capacity; (b) A clinical-grade voice recording app will be used to evaluate speech function; (c) A medical-grade wearable sensor will be used to monitor activity levels and sleep patterns; and (d) Standardized Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessments (eCOA) and Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO) will be used to evaluate quality of life and cognitive abilities. The main goals of this study is to answer some of these questions: Can ALS patients measure important aspects of disease progression at home, either by themselves with appropriate training or with assistance of a coordinators via virtual visit? Which clinical outcome measures collected through DHT are sensitive indicators of ALS progression? Are the measures reproducible and whether they can correlate with gold standard assessments? The results of this study have the potential to provide valuable information for designing future ALS trials that are more decentralized, more patient-centric, and require less visits to the clinic which typically become a major burden with disease progression

The purpose of the study is to collect long-term safety data from subjects with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) exposed to dexpramipexole.

This is an open-label, follow-on phase 1 study to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of continuous i.c.v administration of 4 μg sNN0029/day in patients with ALS who previously participated in study sNN0029-003

The purpose of the study is to determine if we are able to find one or more biomarkers of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at different levels, 3 tesla (3T) and 7 tesla (7T). A biomarker is a measurable characteristic that can be used as an indicator of a particular disease state. Identifying biomarkers of a disease can lead to a better understanding of the disease as well as improved treatments. This study will enroll patients with ALS, PLS, and healthy controls.

REFINE-ALS is a prospective, observational, longitudinal, multicenter study designed to identify biomarkers to serve as quantifiable biological non-clinical measures of Edaravone effects in ALS. Epigenetic and protein biomarkers will also be investigated.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of reldesemtiv versus placebo on functional outcomes in ALS.
