Study of immune cells in ALS and related movement problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You agree to participate and sign the informed consent form
- You can understand the study and follow its procedures
- You have French social security (or an equivalent coverage)
- You fit one of these: you have ALS, you have a close family member with ALS with approved genetic testing, you have a listed movement/nerve condition, or you are an accompanying person whose doctor follows at the specified hospital
- You must not be under legal protection that limits your consent
- You are not refusing, and a doctor feels your health allows blood draws and study participation; you are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects a small skin sample (biopsy) from people with ALS, those who carry an ALS gene mutation but have no symptoms, and healthy volunteers. The sample is used to grow cells in the lab to better understand how ALS develops.
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 trial studies the “innate immune system” (your body’s first-line immune response) in people with ALS and in comparison groups. It may help researchers understand what drives ALS and how immune changes could relate to symptoms.
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 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.
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.
