New drug trial aims to slow devastating ALS progression

NCT ID NCT07174492

Summary

This study is testing whether adding an oral drug called masitinib to the standard ALS medication (riluzole) can better slow the disease and improve daily function. It will involve 412 adults with ALS who are already taking riluzole. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either masitinib or a placebo pill, in addition to their standard care, for 48 weeks to see which group does better.
