NCT ID NCT05633459
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tests whether a new drug called QRL-201 is safe and tolerable for people with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). About 69 adults aged 18-80 with recent ALS symptoms will receive either the drug or a placebo. The main goal is to check for side effects, not to cure the disease.
