New immune approach tested in fight against ALS

NCT ID NCT02059759

Summary

This study tested whether adding a low-dose immune drug called Interleukin-2 to standard ALS medication (riluzole) is safe and affects the immune system. It involved 36 adults with ALS who received either the drug or a placebo in three short courses over 12 weeks. The main goal was to see how the drug changed specific immune cells and to check for side effects, helping decide if it should be tested in larger trials.
