First human test of experimental ALS injection begins

NCT ID NCT02039401

Summary

This early-stage study aimed to check if an experimental injection called VM202 is safe for people with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). It involved 18 adults recently diagnosed with ALS to see what side effects might occur. The main goal was to understand safety, not to prove if the treatment works to slow the disease.
