AMX0114 for ALS

This study is testing AMX0114, an investigational drug, in adults with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). AMX0114 is an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) that works by reducing the amount of a protein called calpain-2 in the body. Researchers want to see how safe and tolerable AMX0114 is for people with ALS. They will also look at how the drug affects certain markers in the body related to ALS. You may be able to join if you are at least 18 years old and have a diagnosis of definite or probable ALS. This study plans to enroll 48 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is a placebo-controlled Phase I study, meaning some participants will receive AMX0114 and others will receive a placebo (an inactive substance). It aims to enroll 48 participants.
What's involved
AMX0114 is given by intrathecal injection (an injection into the spinal canal in the lower back). Researchers will monitor for side effects and conduct various medical assessments.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The safety and tolerability of AMX0114 will be evaluated from Day 1 to Day 145 (End of Study).
