We schedule all diagnostic research and consultations for each patient on one day. Around 90% of all Dutch ALS patients are diagnosed in our centre and over 500 patients are diagnosed each year. Prof. Leonard van den Berg, director of the ALS Centre Netherlands, is one of the initiators of the TRICALS platform with the aim to speed up the research for an ALS treatment by increasing collaboration between patients, industry and ALS centres. He is also one of the initiators of Project Mine (www.projectmine.com), which is the largest research effort worldwide to study the genetic basis of ALS. Additionally, our research focuses on epidemiology, brain imaging and cognitive functioning of ALS patients.

Current trials
Recruiting
Phase iii
ATLAS trial
Industry trial
Biogen is conducting a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety and of an investigational drug for adults who do not have any clinical signs or symptoms of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) (that definitely indicate the onset of ALS) but do carry a certain superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene variant.
Recruiting
Phase iii
FUSION trial
Industry trial
In this study we investigate the safety and efficacy of the study drug ‘ION363’ for the treatment of ALS caused by mutations in the FUS gene. About 1% to 5% of ALS cases are caused by FUS mutations.
