About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Sporadic or familial ALS diagnosed as clinically possible, probable, lab-supported probable, or definite ALS defined by revised El Escorial criteria.

Age 18 years or older.

Capable of providing informed consent and complying with study procedures, in the SI's opinion.

Time since onset of weakness due to ALS ≤ 24 months at the time of the Master Protocol Screening Visit.

Disqualifiers

Clinically significant unstable medical condition (other than ALS) that would pose a risk to the participant, according to SI's judgment (e.g., cardiovascular instability, systemic infection), or clinically significant laboratory abnormality or EKG changes. Clinically significant abnormal liver or kidney function is exclusionary. The following values [alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73m2] are exclusionary regardless of clinical symptoms.

Presence of unstable psychiatric disease, cognitive impairment, dementia or substance abuse that would impair ability of the participant to provide informed consent, in the SI's opinion.

Active cancer or history of cancer, except for the following: basal cell carcinoma or successfully treated squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical carcinoma in situ, prostatic carcinoma in situ, or other malignancies curatively treated and with no evidence of disease recurrence for at least 3 years.

Use of investigational treatments for ALS (off-label use or active participation in a clinical trial) within 5 half-lives (if known) or 30 days (whichever is longer) prior to the Master Protocol Screening Visit.
