Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To study safety and tolerability of subcutaneously administered ILB in patients diagnosed with ALS.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate efficacy of subcutaneously administered ILB in patients diagnosed with ALS.; Primary end point(s): To evaluate safety by: * Adverse events. * Physical exam. * Vital signs: blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature. * ECG assessment. * Haematology and clinical chemistry lab tests. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 9 visits over 4 months. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): To evaluate efficacy by: * ALSFRS-R functional rating scale. * Norris functional rating scale. * Plasma and CSF-analysis for biomarker Neurofilament light chain (NFL). * Plasma, blood and serum analysis for biomarkers for neurological disorders. * Respiratory function (FVC). * Evaluation of quality of Life and autonomous symptoms. * Levels of hepatocyte growth factor, pharmacokinetics and activated partial thromboplastin time. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At specific timepoints during up to 9 visits over several months. | — |
