1. Age = 18 years at the time of screening
2. Diagnosis of ALS according to the Gold Coast Criteria (Please see Table 1 of Shefner et al Clinical Neurophysiology 2020, also available in Appendix 2)
3. Capable of providing informed consent and complying with trial procedures
4. TRICALS risk profile > -6.0 and < -2.0 (See Section 4.3.4)
5. Those taking Riluzole must be on a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to the baseline visit or must have stopped taking Riluzole at least 30 days prior to the baseline visit
6. Women must not become pregnant (e.g., post-menopausal, surgically sterile, using highly effective birth control methods or not having potentially reproductive sex) for the duration of the study plus five days. Highly effective methods of birth control are those with a failure rate of < 1% per year when employed consistently and correctly, e.g. Combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception or progestogen-only hormonal contraception. For more information, please refer to the HMA CTFG Guidelines: https://www.hma.eu/fileadmin/dateien/Human_Medicines/01-About_HMA/Working_Groups/CTFG/2014_09_HMA_CTFG_Contraception.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3AY5Ha0ESDyqIBeUaYI9VTFWmx9bbt8NZ-80N-5ME6pkBb1UHvFsTwqlQ
7. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and baseline and be non-lactating. Patients will be advised regarding appropriate contraception. A menstruation history will be taken at each visit. Women of childbearing potential are defined as females who are fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilisation methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy (https://www.hma.eu/fileadmin/dateien/Human_Medicines/01-About_HMA/Working_Groups/CTFG/2014_09_HMA_CTFG_Contraception.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3AY5Ha0ESDyqIBeUaYI9VTFWmx9bbt8NZ-80N-5ME6pkBb1UHvFsTwqlQ).
8. For participants taking antacids (regularly or as required), participant is willing and able to avoid taking antacids for at least 2 hours before and 6 hours after Triumeq
9. Participant taking taurursodiol supplements (TUDCA) can participate in this trial if the supplement does not contain sodium phenylbutyrate.
10. Participants taking taurursodiol supplements (TUDCA) that also contain sodium phenylbutyrate must be willing to stop supplementaiton 30 days prior randomisation.

1. People who are HLA-B*5701 positive
2. Known hypersensitivity to Dolutegravir, Abacavir or Lamivudine, or to any of the excipients
3. Safety Laboratory Criteria at screening:
ALT = 5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
AST = 3 times ULN

9. Use of NIV =22 h per day or having a tracheostomy
10. Edaravone dose within 30 days prior to screening. Edaravone is approved by the FDA and in Japan, but remains an investigational product in Europe and Australia
