Who may be able to join

Who might be able to join this trial:

  • You are between 18 and 80 years old (inclusive)
  • You have been diagnosed with familial or sporadic ALS, meeting certain diagnostic standards set by a global neurology organization (confirm with trial site if unsure which category applies to you)
  • Your first ALS symptom — such as weakness in your arms, legs, speech, swallowing, or breathing — started no more than 24 months before your screening appointment
  • Your ALS Function Rating Scale score (a measure of how ALS is affecting daily tasks) is 44 or below at screening — if it is 45 or higher, you may be able to be rescreened about 60 days later
  • Your lung function (measured by a breathing test called FVC) is at least 65% of what would be expected for someone your age, height, sex, and ethnicity
  • You have either been taking the ALS medication riluzole for at least 30 days, or you have not taken it for at least 30 days before screening
  • You have either completed at least 2 treatment cycles of the ALS medication edaravone, or you have not taken it for at least 30 days before screening
  • You are able to swallow whole tablets

Who may not be able to join:

  • Your kidneys are not functioning well enough, based on a specific blood test result (confirm with trial site)
  • A urine test shows too much protein, which can be a sign of kidney issues
  • Your liver enzyme levels (ALT or AST) are three or more times higher than the normal range
  • Your bilirubin levels (a measure of liver function) are above the normal range
  • You have cognitive (thinking or memory) problems — whether related to ALS or another cause — that would make it difficult to understand the study or give your consent
  • You have another significant neurological condition that could make it harder to assess your ALS symptoms or progression
  • You currently have a tracheostomy (a surgical opening in the throat to help with breathing)
