A Phase IIB Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Dose Study to Evaluate the Effects of PHENOGENE-1A (Cromolyn) as an Adjuvant Treatment in Subjects With Mild to Moderate Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
PhenoNet, Inc.
Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of PHENOGENE-1A, which is the treatment under investigation in this study. This research will investigate if PHENOGENE-1A can help people with ALS by measuring their function using the ALS Functional Rating Scale Revised (ALSFRS-R), measuring lung function using pulmonary function tests (PFTs), such as forced vital capacity (FVC), and measuring neuro-inflammatory biomarkers in the blood.
Description
This is a Phase IIB, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the effects of PHENOGENE-1A (oral inhalation via dry powder inhaler \[DPI\]) in subjects with mild to moderate ALS disease. Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive either low dose PHENOGENE-1A (34.2 mg per day: in 2 doses of 17.1 mg and matching placebo BID), high dose PHENOGENE-1A (68.4 mg per day: 34.2 mg BID), or placebo (2 matching placebo capsules BID) (see table below), in a 2:2:1 ratio. Subjects will receive treatment for a duration of 24 weeks. All subjects must be on a stable dose of Ril…
