ALS biomarker study for monitoring disease progression
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks for biological markers in the blood or other samples to track how ALS progresses over time. The goal is to catch changes earlier, which could help in future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are aged 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with ALS by a doctor using standard criteria.
- Your ALS is either inherited or not (sporadic or familial).
- Your ALS started in the limbs or the bulbar region (speech/swallowing).
- You are not currently in another trial with a waiting period, and you are willing to participate.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at blood platelets (tiny cells that help with clotting) in people with ALS and other motor neuron diseases. It aims to find new markers that could help diagnose ALS earlier. If you have a recent diagnosis, you may be able to join by giving a blood sample.
This study aims to match people with ALS to potential treatments based on their genetic profile. It connects you to a network of trials that may be relevant to your specific type of ALS.
This study collects samples (blood, skin, urine) from people with ALS to create cell banks and find biomarkers. It helps researchers learn more about the disease and may lead to better treatments.
This study looks for new ways to detect and understand ALS by analyzing tiny nerve and blood markers. It may help find better treatments for ALS and related nerve diseases.
This trial collects blood and spinal fluid samples from people being checked for ALS. The goal is to find clues (biomarkers) in tiny particles from nerve cells that could help doctors better understand and diagnose ALS.
This study is looking for people with ALS to help doctors understand how certain biological markers (biomarkers) change over time. It involves a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to collect fluid from your spine and regular check-ups.
