ALS drug safety check: oral edaravone passes extended trial
NCT ID NCT05568615
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at the safety of an oral form of edaravone for people with ALS, a nerve disease that weakens muscles. Fifteen patients who had already been in earlier edaravone studies took the drug for 10 days every two weeks. Researchers tracked side effects to see if the medicine was safe to use over a longer period.
