This is an open-label, multi-center study designed to extend the evaluation of the safety, tolerability, and clinical effects of oral administration of KNS-760704 in patients with ALS.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients who complete the Part 2 Week 28 visit in study KNS-760704-CL201 and patients with ALS who were actively receiving RTPB \[(6R)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-N6-propyl-2,6-benzothiazolediamine dihydro-chloride monohydrate\] under Research IND #60,948 were eligible to participate in this study.

Eligible patients received 1 tablet of KNS-760704 (150 mg) every 12 hours (Q12H) (300 mg total daily dose) for up to 180 weeks.
