Time since onset of first symptom of ALS should be
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Presence of tracheostomy or PAV; defined as >22 hours daily of mechanical ventilation for more than 1 week (7 days); 2. Slow Vital Capacity (SVC) less than 55%; 3. History of known allergy to phenylbutyrate or bile salts; 4. Abnormal liver function defined as bilirubin levels and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 5 times the upper limit of the normal (obtained within 12 weeks from first dose); 5.5.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To assess the impact of AMX0035 treatment compared to placebo on disease progression over 48 weeks based on change form baseline of ALSFRS-R and survival. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To assess the impact of AMX0035 compared to placebo on Slow Vital Capacity (SVC) in adult patients with ALS over 48 weeks; 2. To assess patient quality of life (QOL; using the 40-item ALS assessment questionnaire [ALSAQ-40] patient-reported outcome [PRO]) during treatment with AMX0035 compared to placebo in adult patients with ALS over 48 weeks; 3. To assess AMX0035 compared to placebo on the time to any decline in King's and MiToS stages as derived from ALSFRS-R data over 48 weeks; 4. To assess the impact of AMX0035 compared to placebo on ventilation free survival (defined as death, tracheostomy for respiratory distress or permanent non-invasive ventilation [>22 hours per day for 7 consecutive days]) in adult patients with ALS over 48 weeks; 5. To assess AMX0035 compared to placebo on patient health status (using the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale [EQ VAS] PRO during treatment with AMX0035 over 48 weeks. Finally, a secondary objective of the trial is to assess the long-term overall survival of all-cause mortality beyond the 48 week Treatment Period of adult patients with ALS treated with AMX0035 or placebo until time of death or End of Study. | — |
