Kamlanoflast In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Starting soon · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), ALS, Neuro-Degenerative Disease, Neuro-Degenerative Diseases, Motor Neuron Disease (MND)

In brief

This is a study of Kamlanoflast in patients with ALS. Kamlanoflast is orally administered over 24 weeks. Its effects on inflammatory and functional parameters will be studied. Information on safety and tolerability will be collected.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 75. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Diagnosis of definite, probable, laboratory-supported probable, or possible ALS by revised El Escorial research criteria.
• Ages 18 to 75 years.
• Onset of weakness within three years of study enrollment.
• ALS with progression, characterized either by:
• i. a reduction of 0.5 points per month or greater on the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R), which will be calculated based on (most recent ALSFRS-R at least 12 weeks from screening - ALSFRS-R at screening)/time interval; or ii. a calculated progression rate: (48 - ALSFRS-R at "time of diagnosis") / duration from onset to diagnosis (month) that is 0.5 points per month or greater.
• e) Plasma NfL levels ≥ 2 times the upper limit of the age-specific reference values for normal at the measuring laboratory at screening.
• f) Capable of providing informed consent. g) Capable and willing to follow study protocol. h) Ability to swallow pills and liquids at the time of the screening visit and, in the investigator's opinion have the ability to swallow for the duration of the study OR can be fed via a Gastrostomy (G) tube or Percutaneous Endoscopic capacity (PEG) tube.
• i) Slow vital capacity (SVC) > 65% of predicted value for gender, height, and age (participants perform SVC for three trials and the best SVC will be used).
• j) Females of childbearing potential must agree to abstain from sex or use adequate method of contraception for the duration of the study period and for 28 days after the last dose of study drug.
• k) Males must agree to abstain from sex or use adequate method of contraception for the duration of the study period and for 28 days after the last dose of study drug.
• l) If an approved therapy for ALS is used during the study, a steady dose must be used as follows: i. Participants who do not currently receive riluzole and do not plan to receive riluzole during the study period. Participants receiving riluzole are on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before enrollment. Participants receiving riluzole are expected to remain on the same dose throughout the duration of the study.
• ii. Participants who do not currently receive edaravone and do not plan to receive edaravone during the study period. Participants receiving edaravone must have completed at least 1 cycle of treatment before enrollment and are expected to continue edaravone treatment throughout the duration of the study.

You may not qualify if…

• Inability to follow the study protocol, based on the investigator's assessment.
• Pregnant or nursing women.
• Recently（within 28 days）received other experimental treatments.
• Presence of any active infections or inflammatory diseases at the time of enrollment that may confound the assessment of levels of inflammatory markers.
• Taking any medication or supplements with anti-inflammatory effects, including but not limited to prednisone, colchicine, or curcumin.
• Taking Qalsody (tofersen).
• Taking any medications containing nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), including but not limited to Abacavir, Emtricitabine, Lamivudine, or Zidovudine; trade names Atripla, Biktarvy, Cimduo, Combivir, Complera, Delstrigo, Descovy, Dovato, Emtriva, Epivir, Epzicom, Genvoya, Odefsey, Retrovir, Stribild, Symfi, Symtuza, Triumeq, Trizivir, Truvada, Ziagen.
• Clinically significant unstable medical condition (other than ALS) that would pose a risk to the participant, according to investigator's judgment (e.g., cardiovascular instability, systemic infection), or clinically significant laboratory abnormality.
• Clinically significant abnormal liver or kidney function at baseline (pre-dose). The following values [alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73m2] are exclusionary regardless of clinical symptoms.
• Presence of unstable psychiatric disease, cognitive impairment, dementia or substance abuse that would impair ability of the participant to provide informed consent, in the investigator's opinion.
• Active cancer or history of cancer, except for the following: basal cell carcinoma or successfully treated squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical carcinoma in situ, prostatic carcinoma in situ, or other malignancies curatively treated and with no evidence of disease recurrence for at least 3 years.
• Non-invasive ventilation, tracheostomy, oxygen supplementation for primary pulmonary pathology.
• Current / anticipated need of diaphragm pacing system (DPS).
• History of prior AAV gene therapy for any indication;
• Presence of any clinically relevant diseases that, in the research team's opinion, would prevent the subject from completing the study, including but not limited to severe cognitive dysfunction or medical conditions other than ALS that affect physical function or life expectancy.
• Plan to move away from the study site within the next 6 months.
