Experimental ALS injection shows early promise in slowing decline

NCT ID NCT04632225

Summary

This small study tested whether injections of an experimental drug called Engensis are safe for people with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Eighteen participants received either the drug or a placebo injection into their muscles over several months. Researchers primarily checked for side effects, but also looked for early signs that the treatment might help slow the loss of muscle strength and function.
