Summary
This study tested whether a drug called engensis is safe for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that weakens muscles over time. Eighteen adults with limb-onset ALS received either engensis or a placebo injection. The main goal was to check for side effects, while also exploring if the drug might help muscle function or quality of life.
