Summary

This study tested a drug called MCI-186 in 25 people with advanced ALS (severity grade III). The goal was to see if daily intravenous doses could slow the decline in daily function over 24 weeks compared to a placebo. The trial was exploratory, meaning it looked for signals of effectiveness and safety rather than proving a definitive benefit.
