NCT ID NCT07467746
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an oral traditional Chinese medicine made from the fungus C. cicadae in people with ALS who have high levels of certain fats (sphingolipids) in their blood. About 84 participants will receive either the medicine or a placebo for 6 months, with follow-up for 9 months total. The goal is to see if the treatment can slow disease progression and lower sphingolipid levels.
