Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary end point(s): -Adverse events (OMS scale): cuantitative variable (number of events); cualitative variable (severity) -Complications at the site of infusion: cuantitative variable (number of events); cualitative variable (severity) -Appearance of new neurological deficit not attributed to the natural progression of the disease: cuantitative variable (number of events); cualitative variable (severity) -Laboratory analysis: cuantitative variables.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Not applicable;Secondary Objective: a) Evaluation of clinical efficacy of intravenous administration of 3 doses of autologous CeTMAd, measured by: ?Progression rate of the neurological dysfunction of the disease ?Muscle strength grading ?Changes in forced vital capacity ?Changes in muscle bulk and circumference of the upper and lower extremities: ?Changes in neurophysiological, neuropsychological and Quality of Life parameters ?Changes in the spasticity and pain measures ?Need of and time to tracheotomy or permanent assisted ventilation ?Need of and time to gastrostomy ?Overall survival, calculating time to death b) Inmmunological effects: ?Regulatory cell populations affecting the inflammatory and tolerogenic status and ?Immunological control mechanisms mediated by TLRs. c) Adquisition of metabolomic profiling data as an alternative tool for monitoring and identification of new markers in ALS.;Main Objective: Safety evaluation and tolerability of the IV administration of 3 doses of autologous CeTMAd, measured by the ABSENCE of: -Complications at the site of infusion -Appearance of new neurological deficit not attributed to the natural progression of the disease: -Adverse events (OMS scale: clinical, haematological, bioquemical) | — |
