ÉTUDES À VENIR
ANX005-ALS-01 (ANX005)
The purpose of this study is to find out if the investigational drug ANX005 is well tolerated and safe in subjects with ALS when given on Day 1, Day 5 or 6 and then every 2 weeks on Week 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. Another purpose of this study is to find out more about the investigational drug.
For this study, 24 male and female participants will be recruited at about 18 sites worldwide. The participants will be over the age of 18.
APL2-ALS-206 (Pegcetacoplan)
The purpose of this study is to see if the investigational drug, pegcetacoplan (also known as APL-2), can slow the progression of ALS. Investigational means that pegcetacoplan is still being tested for safety and effectiveness but is not yet approved by any regulatory authorities (such as the United States Food and Drug Administration, Health Canada, or the European Medicines Agency) for general use. The study will also evaluate how the body processes pegcetacoplan and how well it is tolerated.
AT-1501-A201 (AT-1501)
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of AT-1501.
For this study, 54 male and female participants will be recruited at 10-13 sites. The participants will be ages 18 years and older.
CY5031 Reldesemtiv Phase 3 (reldesemtiv)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of reldesemtiv.
By efficacy, we mean the effect of taking reldesemtiv and your ability to perform certain functional assessments. By safety, we mean the collection of information about whether there are any negative symptoms and/or side effects that may result from taking reldesemtiv.
Additionally, this research study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of reldesemtiv (how much reldesemtiv gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it).
For this study, approximately 555 male and female participants will be recruited at 80 sites globally. The participants will be aged between 18 and 80.
ION363-CS1 (ION363)
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ION363 in clinical functioning and survival in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients with Fused in Sarcomamutations (FUS-ALS).
Machine Learning in ALS
The purpose of this study is is to develop a tool that allows identification of UMN and LMN features in speech in patients with bulbar dysfunction due to ALS and other MND.
Learning more about characteristics of UMN and LMN symptoms in ALS/MND will help us to better understand the disease, possibly improve time between symptom onset and diagnosis and may result in new assessment and therapy tools.
For this study, 150 male and female participants will be recruited at about 11 ALS/MND clinics throughout Canada and the USA (in Toronto, London, Hamilton, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Montreal, Quebec City, Fredericton, Gainesville and Ohio).
MT-1186-A02 (daily oral edaravone)
The purpose of this study is to test whether an experimental oral liquid form of edaravone (a liquid solution that you will swallow) is effective as treatment against ALS; and if it is safe and well tolerated when given to patients with your illness. The study will compare the efficacy and safety of two different dosing regimens of the oral form of edaravone .
For this study, approximately 380 male and female participants will be recruited at approximately 95 sites. The participants will be aged between 18 and 75 years inclusively.
MT-1186-A03 (A01 extension study) (oral edaravone)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of edaravone in participants with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) over 96 weeks.
The results of this study could help Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Development America, Inc. acquire Health Canada approval for the oral liquid form of edaravone in the future. This would allow the oral liquid form of edaravone to be used in regular medical practice. The data gathered during the study may also be useful for medical professionals and researchers in the future.
For this study, 100 male and female participants who successfully completed study MT-1186-A01 will be enrolled in this study. The participants will be aged between 18 and 75 years.
REFINE-ALS
The purpose of this study is to find biomarkers that show why edaravone is slowing ALS symptom progression. The data gathered during the study may also be useful for medical professionals and researchers in the future.
For this study, 300 male and female participants aged 18 and older will be recruited at approximately 40 sites.
You are about to start taking edaravone per your standard of care treatment for your ALS treatment. We will ensure that your visits for the clinical trial are scheduled around your standard of care treatment.
ÉTUDES EN RECRUTEMENT
AL-S Pharma LP study
Misfolded SOD1 as a Biomarker for ALS
The purpose of this project is to compare the presence of SOD1 in the spinal fluid of participants with ALS against the spinal fluid of demographically matched non-ALS volunteers. In order to do so, a lumbar puncture must be administered.

Biogen 233AS101 (BIIB067)
From clinicaltrials.gov:
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB067 in adults with ALS. The secondary objective is to evaluate the effects of BIIB067 on levels of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) protein in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

CALS-NIC2 (need healthy controls aged matched to ALS patients)
Novel MRI Biomarkers for monitoring disease progression in ALS
From clinicaltrials.gov:
Routine MRI is normal in motor neuron diseases such as ALS. However, advanced MRI techniques can provide an objective measure of degeneration (a “biomarker”) by examining brain structure, wiring, chemistry, and function. We will develop and evaluate novel MRI techniques that could improve our understanding of ALS and provide a means to diagnose it sooner and monitor its progression. Importantly, we expect these techniques to improve how new drugs are tested, which may lead to the more rapid discovery of a treatment for ALS.
Each participant will have 3 MRI scans over a period of 8 months, along with neurological and cognitive evaluations. Study visits will take 2 – 3 hours. MRI is a safe technique that does not involve radiation.
COMBAT-ALS (ibudilast)
From clinicaltrials.gov:

Hudson Biomarker LP study
Sometimes, when someone has a disease, their blood and spinal fluid contain substances that are different from those found in people who do not have the disease. We are trying to identify these substances in the blood and spinal fluid of ALS and ALS-FTD patients. We would like to know whether these substances could be linked with different stages of the disease(s). We would also like to know whether ALS and ALS-FTD patients have some of these substances in common.
