NCT ID NCT04097158
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the FDA-approved drug edaravone (Radicava) affects people with different forms of ALS. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and spinal fluid samples from 160 participants to measure markers of oxidative stress. The goal is to identify which ALS patients benefit most and how long treatment should last. No new medication is given; edaravone is prescribed as part of regular care.
