Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the safety of ARGX-119 in adults with ALS. The study will also assess the impact of ARGX-119 on ALS disease outcomes, including muscle function. The study consists of 2 periods: a treatment period when participants will receive one of three ARGX-119 doses or placebo and an extension period when all participants will receive the same dose of ARGX-119. Participation in the study will last up to approximately 100 weeks.
Interventions
Intravenous infusion of ARGX-119
Intravenous infusion of placebo
