Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Changes From Baseline in the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R)
Baseline, Weeks 4, 12, 25, 36, and 48

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) includes 12 questions classified into 3 subdomains: bulbar function (3 questions), fine and gross motor skills (6 questions), and respiratory function (3 questions) to assess the level self sufficiency. Each task was graded according to a 5-point scale from 0 (incapable) to 4 (normal ability) with a total score from 0 (worst) to 48 (best).

Changes From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
