Study of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study follows people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) over time. It may help researchers better understand ALS and track changes that could guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of ALS that meets the El Escorial criteria (definite, probable, or possible).
- You have ongoing worsening muscle weakness (progressive muscular atrophy).
- Your condition includes primary lateral sclerosis and/or progressive bulbar palsy (affecting speech/swallowing).
- You do not have a history of serious head injury.
- You do not have a serious neuropsychiatric (mental health or brain-related) condition that would block participation.

This study watches people with ALS over time to better understand how symptoms change and what features show up. It may help future care and treatments by improving doctors’ understanding of ALS’s natural course.
This study collects information from people diagnosed with ALS and, if applicable, studies ALS tissue samples. It aims to improve understanding of ALS using patient records and donated materials, which may help future treatments.
This study looks at immune cells (called macrophages) from people with ALS and certain related movement or nerve conditions. It aims to better understand how the disease works and may help researchers design future treatments.
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 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 follows people with ALS and healthy volunteers to measure how specific body fluids, symptoms, and at-home tracking change over time. It may help researchers find early signs of disease changes and better ways to measure treatment effects.
