New ALS drug TP04HN106 enters human trials
NCT ID NCT06726577
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called TP04HN106 in 60 people with ALS. Half receive the drug, half receive a placebo (saline), and all take riluzole tablets as standard care. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can slow the decline in physical function measured by the ALSFRS-R scale.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TP04HN106 (an experimental drug given by intravenous injection)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a treatment that slows the progression of ALS and helps maintain physical function.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1/2 trial with only 60 people, so results may not apply widely. The drug may not show benefit or could have side effects.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Meet the diagnostic criteria for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (Gold Coast Criteria 2020); 2. Age ≥18 years old, male or female; 3. The amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Function Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R)of pre-visit subjects should be ≥1 score for dyspnea, upright breathing and respiratory dysfunction; 4. Pre-randomized subjects received stable dose of riluzole tablets for ≥7 days, and should maintain the treatment until the last study visit; 5. Voluntarily participate in clinical trials, sign informed consent, and understand and comply with study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. The subject is known to be allergic to the investigational drug or its excipients; 2. The subject has a disease or injury that interferes with functional assessment or threatens life, or is accompanied by a serious irreversible disease of the heart, lung, liver, or brain, or is accompanied by a failure of different organs (for patients with respiratory failure, only patients diagnosed as type I or type II respiratory failure are excluded); 3. The subject has a major mental illness or cognitive dysfunction; 4. Patients with a history of secondary or above surgery within one month before the screening period; 5. The subjects participated in other clinical studies within 1 month; 6. The subjects are pregnant or lactating women; 7. Poor compliance or other researchers believe that there are any circumstances that are not suitable for inclusion. \-
