入选标准

  • Disease duration of sporadic ALS is = 24 months after symptom onset and symptoms have not progressed to a permanent need of assisted ventilation of any kind (including non-invasive ventilation).
  • Written consent to participate in the study
  • Patients with the capacity to give informed consent
  • The patient is capable to attend study visits
  • Medication with riluzole at a stable dose of 50 mg BID for = 30 days prior to the screening visit and if possible, throughout the study.
  • Slow vital capacity (VC) equal to or more than 75% of the predicted normal value for gender, height and age at the screening visit
  • Recommended vaccination according to STIKO (incl. COVID-19 vaccination)

排除标准

  • Dysfunction (other than ALS) that could distort or obscure the diagnosis of ALS
  • Patients with a tracheostomy or ongoing treatment (more than 7 consecutive days in the 4 weeks prior to the screening visit) requiring noninvasive positive pressure ventilation of any kind
  • Patients with HIV infections
  • Active, severe infections (e.g. tuberculosis, sepsis and opportunistic infections)
  • History of chronically active hepatitis including active or chronic hepatitis B, acute or chronic hepatitis C
  • History of a tuberculosis (TB) infection, signs/symptoms of TB or close contact with a person with an active TB infection
  • Clinically significant infection involving intravenous administration of antibiotics and hospitalization in the 4 weeks prior to the screening visit
  • Patients with a serious impairment of the immune system
  • Severe heart failure (New York Heart Association Class IV) or severe, uncontrolled heart disease
  • Patients having severe disease in the renal, cardiovascular or hematological system
  • Patients with neutrophils < 1000 cells per µl and/or platelet counts < 75.000 cells per µl
  • Any medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the patient’s participation in the trial or poses any added risk for the patient
  • Patients with other causes of neuromuscular weakness
  • Patients with severe active psychiatric illness
  • Patients with a diagnosis of another neurodegenerative disease (e.g. Parkinson disease, Alzheimer’s disease)
  • Participation in any other investigational drug study or exposure to an investigational drug within 5 half-lives of the study drug at baseline
  • Patients with a history of recurrent or chronic infections or with underlying diseases which may further predispose patients to serious infection
  • Sexually active male and female patients of reproductive potential (female patients / female partners of patients less than 12 months postmenopausal) who do not use highly effective contraception methods (pearl index <1) during and up to 12 months after treatment.
  • The patient has used edaravone or sodium phenylbutyrate–taurursodiol in the first week before the baseline visit
  • Hypersensitivity to the active substance, mouse proteins or sodium citrate, polysorbate 80
  • Known cytokine release syndrome after infusions
  • Hypersensitivity to the adjuvant medication (paracetamol and prednisolone)
  • Pregnancy or lactation
