New drug combo tested in fight against rapid ALS form

NCT ID NCT05508074

Summary

This study tested whether adding a new drug called IFB-088 to the standard medication riluzole could help people with a specific, rapidly progressing form of ALS that starts with speech and swallowing problems. 51 participants were randomly assigned to receive either IFB-088 or a placebo, along with riluzole, for six months. Researchers measured safety, changes in physical function, breathing ability, and quality of life to see if IFB-088 showed promise.
