Overview
Brief Summary
This is an open-label, multi-center study designed to extend the evaluation of the safety, tolerability, and clinical effects of oral administration of KNS-760704 in patients with ALS.
Detailed Description
Patients who complete the Part 2 Week 28 visit in study KNS-760704-CL201 and patients with ALS who were actively receiving RTPB \[(6R)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-N6-propyl-2,6-benzothiazolediamine dihydro-chloride monohydrate\] under Research IND #60,948 were eligible to participate in this study. Eligible patients received 1 tablet of KNS-760704 (150 mg) every 12 hours (Q12H) (300 mg total daily dose) for up to 180 weeks.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Hematology Results
Time Frame: 180 weeks
Number of Participants with Potentially Clinically Significant Hematology Results by Treatment Group. Percentages based on number of patients with at least one non-missing post-baseline value in each treatment group. Patients are only counted once per criterion per laboratory test.
Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Liver Enzyme Abnormalities
Time Frame: 180 weeks
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant liver enzyme abnormalities for the safety population are presented. Percentages are based on the number of patients with at least one non-missing, post-baseline value for each parameter.
Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically ECG Abnormalities
Time Frame: 180 weeks
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant ECG abnormalities for the safety population are presented. Percentages are based on the number of patients in the safety population who had at least one non-missing, post-baseline value.
Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Vital Sign Abnormalities
Time Frame: 180 weeks
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant vital sign abnormalities for the safety population are presented. Percentages are based on the number of patients with at least one non-missing, post-baseline value for each parameter.
