Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Revised ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) Score in Full Analysis Set (FAS) Population at 24 Weeksbaseline (seventh cycle) and at 24 week (twelfth cycle)

0=worst; 48=best To investigate the sustainability of effects of edaravone, the analysis focusing on the comparison between the placebo and edaravone groups of patients who had received 6 cycles of edaravone treatment, i.e., the comparison of data from Cycles 7 to 12 between the edaravone-edaravone group and the edaravone-placebo group, was performed.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Changes in Sensory Examinations36 weeks (from seventh cycle to fifteenth cycle)
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events36 weeks (from seventh cycle to fifteenth cycle)
Number of Participants With Death or a Specified State of Disease Progression24 weeks (from seventh cycle to twelfth cycle)

Any of "death, disability of independent ambulation, loss of upper arm function, tracheotomy, use of respirator, and use of tube feeding" was defined as an event.

Change From Baseline in % Forced Vital Capacity (%FVC) in Full Analysis Set (FAS) Population at 24 Weeksbaseline (seventh cycle) and at 24 week (twelfth cycle)

To investigate the sustainability of effects of edaravone, the analysis focusing on the comparison between the placebo and edaravone groups of patients who had received 6 cycles of edaravone treatment, i.e., the comparison of data from Cycles 7 to 12 between the edaravone-edaravone group and the edaravone-placebo group, was performed.

Percentage of Participants With Laboratory Tests for Which the Incidence of Abnormal Changes Was 5% or Higher in Either Group36 weeks (from seventh cycle to fifteenth cycle)
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions36 weeks (from seventh cycle to fifteenth cycle)
