Current trials
Recruiting
Phase i
VRG50635 study
Industry trial
Verge Genomics is conducting a phase 1b trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential efficacy of VRG50635 for people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Active
Phase ii
DAZALS trial
Industry trial
In this study, an investigational oral drug named dazucorilant (also called CORT113176) is being studied in people living with ALS (also known as MND) to understand its safety (side effects) and to determine if dazucorilant can slow down the worsening of the disease. The effects of dazucorilant will be compared to the effects of a placebo. This study is sponsored by Corcept Therapeutics.
Active
Phase ii
CARDINALS
Industry trial
The CARDINALS clinical research study is evaluating a study drug (Utreloxastat) to see if it can help slow ALS symptoms. Researchers will also test the safety and tolerability of the study drug and how the body responds to it. The study drug is a liquid that is swallowed 2 times a day.
Recruiting
Phase ii
AP101-02
Industry trial
In this study we investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics markers and pharmacokinetics (how a drug is absorbed and excreted) of AP-101 in patients with familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Currently, we are only looking for patients with familial ALS (caused by a SOD1 gene mutation) to participate in the study. This study is sponsored by AL-S Pharma.
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.
Active
Phase iii
PHOENIX trial
Industry trial
Amylyx Pharmaceuticals Inc is conducting a phase 3 trial to determine the safety and efficacy of their compound 'AMX0035' for the treatment of ALS.
Completed
Phase iii
ADORE trial
Industry trial
Ferrer is conducting a phase 3 trial to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of an investigational drug for people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Completed
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.
