Cromolyn inhaler for early ALS
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if an inhaled drug called cromolyn can help people with early-stage ALS. It is for people who can still breathe well and are not yet using a ventilator.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with ALS (mild to moderate stage)
- Between 18 and 75 years old
- ALS symptoms started less than 24 months ago
- Able to breathe on your own (no ventilator or oxygen)
- ALS score (ALSFRS-R) of at least 38
- Been on a steady dose of Riluzole for at least 4 weeks
- Not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to donate eggs or sperm during the trial

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests an investigational drug called NB-4746 for people with ALS. The goal is to see if it can slow the progression of the disease. It is for people diagnosed within the last couple of years who are still able to eat and breathe on their own.
This study tests an investigational oral medication, FHND1002, for people with ALS whose disease has been progressing for less than 2 years. It aims to slow further decline in muscle function and breathing ability.
This trial tests a new drug called VTx-002 to see if it is safe and tolerable for people with ALS. You may be able to join if you have had symptoms for less than 18 months and have a caregiver who can help.
This study tests a supplement called acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) to see if it can slow the progression of ALS. It is for people in the early stages of the disease who are already taking riluzole and have good lung and muscle function.
This study tests whether using a “pressure relaxer” (RLX) earlier can improve breathing problems caused by ALS-related weak breathing muscles. You may be placed by chance into the device group or a comparison group to see if lung function and comfort improve.
This trial tests a new drug called TP04HN106 for people with ALS. It aims to see if it is safe and if it might slow down the disease. You may qualify if your breathing is still fairly good and you have been on a stable dose of riluzole.
