Common drug repurposed in bold bid to slow devastating nerve disease

NCT ID NCT06249867

Summary

This study is testing whether darifenacin, a medication usually used for overactive bladder, can help slow the progression of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Researchers believe it might protect the connections between nerves and muscles. The trial will involve 30 people with ALS who will take either the drug or a placebo daily for 24 weeks to check its safety and see if it helps maintain function.
