We offer adequate clinical diagnosis with the support of a multidisciplinary team and a centre for clinical trials. Research in the Laboratory of Neuroscience mainly focuses on genetics of ALS, ALS disease mechanisms using in vitro cell models, iPSCs as a bioassay of clinical relevance, and biomarker identification. We have made a big effort to develop eye tracking and BCI technologies for the definition of neuropsychological changes in people with ALS. The Milan ALS Centre has been audited by FDA in 1997 for a clinical trial.

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.

Phase ii
APL2-ALS-206 Trial
Industry trial
In this phase 2 study, we are investigating the safety and efficacy of the drug pegcetacoplan for the treatment of ALS. This trial is sponsored by Apellis Pharmaceuticals.

Phase iii
TUDCA-ALS
Investigator initiated trial
This trial will evaluate the efficacy of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) as add-on treatment for people with ALS.
