First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
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 daily infusions could slow the disease's progress over 24 weeks. While the drug was safe, it only showed a small effect on slowing decline, meaning it may help manage the disease but not stop or cure it.
