AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS)

This study tested whether people with ALS or Parkinson's disease, along with healthy volunteers, could follow the MIND diet — a mix of the Mediterranean and DASH diets thought to protect the brain. Over several weeks, 43 participants received a cookbook, educational materials, an…

This study tested the long-term safety of an oral form of edaravone in 124 people with ALS over 96 weeks. Participants took the drug in cycles of 10 days on and 14 days off. The main goal was to see how safe and tolerable the treatment was over time.

This Phase 3 trial tested the drug edaravone (MCI-186) in 206 people with ALS. Participants received daily intravenous infusions for 14 days, followed by a rest period, repeated over 24 weeks. The goal was to see if edaravone could slow the decline in physical function compared t…

This study tested the drug edaravone (MCI-186) in 181 people with ALS, a progressive nerve disease. Participants received either edaravone or a placebo through IV infusions over 24 weeks. The goal was to see if edaravone could slow the decline in physical function. Results sugges…

This study tested a drug called MCI-186 in 137 people with ALS, a nerve disease that weakens muscles over time. The goal was to see if the drug could slow down the disease compared to a placebo over 24 weeks. The main measure was a scale of daily function. The trial did not show …

This study tested a drug called MCI-186 in 25 people with advanced ALS (severity grade III) to see if it could slow the disease. Participants received either the drug or a placebo daily through an IV for 24 weeks. The main goal was to measure changes in daily function and safety,…

This completed Phase 2 pilot trial tested whether personalized supplements could slow the progression of ALS. Researchers used a genetic analysis platform to sort 50 participants into four disease categories—neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, or mitochondria…
