Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a prospective, open-label, follow up study to protocol 101/2 - continued treatment by IPL344 IV administered once a day in up to 15 participants with ALS. The study is designed to determine the safety, tolerability and initial efficacy of IPL344, administered once a day, by IV infusion for up to 36 months
Interventions
DRUGIPL344
IPL344 will be administered by intravenously (IV) infusion once a day (every 24±6 hours), using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line or a permanent port. IPL344 will be administered using an electronic pump at a flow rate that will be determined in protocol 101/2. The dose will be fixed as MTD as established in protocol 101/2 (up to 3.2 mg/kg).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Reporting | upto 36 month | All AEs will be recorded, whether considered minor or serious, drug-related or not |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Changes from baseline in ALS disease progression | upto 36 months | Evaluated by the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale(ALSFRS-R). The ALSFRS-R is a quickly administered (5 min) ordinal rating scale used to determine a subject's assessment of their capability and independence in 12 functional activities. There are 12 questions, graded by the subject 0-4 (4 is normal). Score of 0 (worst) to 48 (best). Reflects speech and swallowing, fine motor skills, large motor skills, and breathing |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Changes from baseline in Pulmonary Function | upto 36 months | Measured by Vital Capacity (VC) |
| Changes from baseline in Muscle strength | upto 36 months | Assessed by using a quantitative strength testing tool, Hand Held Dynamometry (HHD) |
| Changes from baseline in Anti-Depression effect | upto 36 months | Evaluated by ALS Depression Inventory (ADI-12). Scales: For each question, the following is selected: I fully agree, I agree, I don't agree, I do not agree at all |
