About the study
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. ALS causes loss of muscle control, affecting the muscles needed to move, speak, eat and breathe. Decline is inevitable, with death from respiratory failure following 2 to 5 years after diagnosis for most people.
Researchers are seeking ways to help people with ALS. This study will investigate whether a single intrathecal injection of SNUG01 can help prevent the progression of the disease.
This study is inviting ALS patients aged 18 to 65 years old. Participants must be willing to comply with the study requirements.
Who Can Participate?
1. Participants who are able to submit written informed consent.
2. Participants must be 18 to 65 years of age inclusive.

6. Participants with ALSFRS-R total score must be ≥30 points, and all three respiratory function assessments must achieve full marks.
7. Participants must either not currently receiving riluzole or on a stable dose of riluzole for at least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit. Participants receiving riluzole are expected to remain the same dose throughout the study.
8. Participants is not currently on edaravone treatment or is receiving an approved standard edaravone regimen. Participants receiving edaravone must have completed at least 1 cycle of treatment prior to the screening visit and are expected to continue with edaravone throughout the study period.
