About this trial
The proposed study is an Open-Label, Single-Dose Study to Assess the Safety, and Pharmacodynamics (PD) signals of MRG-001 in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). MRG-001 will be administered subcutaneously 3 times per week for 2 weeks. This cycle will be repeated for 3 months. In total, patients are expected to receive 18 injections over the span of 3 months.
