About this trial

This clinical study is in participants with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the gene therapy CTx1000.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of ALS in accordance with the revised El Escorial criteria and TRICALS risk score

An overall disease duration of ≤ 2 years after the participant's first symptoms

No or low circulating anti-AAV9 antibodies (titre ≤ 1:50

Stable dosing with a standard of care ALS medication (eg, riluzole and edaravone) and other prescription medications for 30 days prior to Screening

Disqualifiers

Any participants with genetic forms of ALS, including C9ORF72 repeat carriers, except for TARDBP gene variants, as confirmed by previous clinical history genetic testing

Any history of myocardial infarction or stroke within 6 months prior to Screening, or uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1C > 9%)

Positive test for cytomegalovirus, hepatitis C antibody (HCV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody.
