Safety endpoints include incidence of treatment-emergent AEs, drug-related AEs, deaths, SAEs, and AEs leading to discontinuation from the study. Changes from baseline (Week 36 of the placebo controlled phase) in clinical laboratory results, physical examination findings, vital signs, ECGs, and C-SSRS will be summarized descriptively by group and timepoint.
Mean change in the average difference between active treatment and placebo from Baseline through End of Study for the MUNIXscore(4), which is the sum of the respective MUNIX values for the Abductor Digiti Minimi (ADM), Abductor Pollicis Brevis (APB), Biceps Brachii (BB), and Tibialis Anterior (TA).
The Motor Unit Number Index (MUNIX) is a quantitative neurophysiological measure that provides an index of the number of lower motor neurons supplying a muscle. It reflects the loss of motor neurons in patients with ALS. Mean change in the average difference between active treatment and placebo from Baseline through Week 36 for the MUNIXscore(4), which is the sum of the respective MUNIX values for the Abductor Digiti Minimi (ADM), Abductor Pollicis Brevis (APB), Biceps Brachii (BB), and Tibialis Anterior (TA). The average baseline summed values will be indexed to 100%. Changes will be calculated as the percent change from the Baseline index of 100%.

| Open label extension | EXPERIMENTAL | This is an unblinded open-label extension, all participants will be on active drug. |
| Placebo | PLACEBO_COMPARATOR | The matched placebo used in this study consisted of water, sodium bicarbonate, and food coloring to match volume and color of the experimental treatment |
| 30 mg CNM-Au8 | EXPERIMENTAL | 30mg suspension of clean-surfaced, faceted, gold nanocrystals in 60ml of sodium bicarbonate buffered water |
| Name | Type | Description |

| CNMAu8 | DRUG | CNM-Au8 is an aqueous suspension of clean surfaced faceted nanocrystals consisting of gold atoms self-organized into crystals of various geometrical shapes (hexagonal bi-pyramid, pentagonal bi-pyramid, tetrahedron, decahedron, planar spheroids). Those choosing to participate in the OLE period will orally receive 30 mg of CNM-Au8, once daily. |
| CNM-Au8 | DRUG | CNM-Au8 is a dark red/purple-colored liquid formulation consisting of a stable suspension of faceted clean surfaced elemental gold nanocrystals in buffered deionized water with a nominal concentration of 0.5 mg/mL of gold. The formulation is buffered by sodium bicarbonate present at a concentration of 0.546 mg/mL. There are no other excipients. The drug product is formulated to be taken orally and will be provided in single dose 60 mL HDPE containers. |
| Placebo | DRUG | Placebo was liquid with identical color and taste |
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants must have completed the randomized placebo-controlled Treatment Period without compliance issues. 2. Able to understand and give written informed consent to participate in the open-label extension. 3. If referred from a third party (neurologist or a State based A...
