Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
|
Inclusion Criteria:
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) volunteers must be diagnosed as having possible,
probable, probable-laboratory supported, or definite ALS, either sporadic or familial
according to modified El Escorial criteria.
- Age 18-80, able to provide informed consent, and comply with study procedures.
- Participants must not have taken riluzole for at least 30 days, or be on a stable dose
of riluzole for at least 30 days, prior to screening (riluzole-naïve participants are
permitted in the study).
- Women must not be able to become pregnant (e.g. post menopausal, surgically sterile,
or using adequate birth control) for the duration of the study and 3 months after
study completion.
- Males should practice contraception for the duration of the study and 3 months after
completion.
- Ability to safely lie flat for 90 min for Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
procedures in the opinion of the study physician.
- High or mixed affinity to bind translocator (TSPO) protein (Ala/Ala or Ala/Thr)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Abnormal liver function defined as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine
transaminase (ALT) > 3 times the upper limit of the normal.
- Renal insufficiency as defined by a serum creatinine > 1.5 times the upper limit of
normal.
- The presence of unstable psychiatric disease, cognitive impairment, or dementia that
would impair ability of the participant to provide informed consent, according to PI
judgment.
- Clinically significant unstable medical condition (other than ALS) that would pose a
risk to the participant if they were to participate in the study.
- History of HIV, clinically significant chronic hepatitis, or other active infection.
- Females must not be lactating or pregnant.
- Active participation in another ALS clinical trial within 30 days of the Screening
Visit
- Exposure to immunomodulatory medications within 30 days of the Screening Visit.
- Any contraindication to undergo MRI studies such as
- History of a cardiac pacemaker or pacemaker wires
- Metallic particles in the body
- Vascular clips in the head
- Prosthetic heart valves
- Claustrophobia
- Radiation exposure that exceeds the site's current guidelines
- Current use of tobacco products including cigarettes, cigars, snuff and chewing
tobacco, or nicotine replacement products such as gum or patch
