Research study for people with ALS and family risk
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at people affected by ALS (a nerve disease) and, in some cases, family members who may be at genetic risk. It may help researchers better understand ALS and related conditions and improve how they’re studied.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You can join if you have ALS or a related nerve disease, or you’re in an ALS family group
- You may also join if you are a healthy control (no ALS-related symptoms)
- You must be able and willing to follow the study visits and procedures
- You cannot have other medical or mental health conditions that could interfere with results or with participation

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows healthy people from families with a known ALS-causing gene mutation to look for early body or brain changes before symptoms begin. It may help researchers find ways to predict ALS risk earlier so future treatments can start sooner.
This study looks at people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), people who might have ALS, and also people related to someone with ALS. It may help researchers better understand ALS and related “motor neuron” conditions, and it involves participation that may include blood tests.
This study is for adults who have a strong family history of ALS or FTD (like a parent or sibling with the disease) to help researchers understand how to prevent these conditions. It involves following you for about a year to track your health.
This study follows people with ALS and healthy volunteers over time to understand the disease better. You can join from home using a smartphone or computer.
This study uses a comprehensive analysis platform to better understand ALS (and related conditions) and help find ways to “remedy and eliminate” it. If you have ALS or are a healthy control who can safely complete questionnaires and possibly an MRI, you may be able to contribute data that researchers use to improve care.
This study is a research collaborative that collects information from people with ALS or their families. It aims to better understand the disease and find markers that could help develop treatments.
