Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of trametinib (SNR1611) in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Detailed Description

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

Trametinib (SNR1611) is a MEK inhibitor that downregulates the MAPK/ERK pathway. In this study, the potential of MAPK/ERK pathway downregulation through trametinib (SNR1611) as a therapeutic treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) will be evaluated.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Patients will be randomly assigned 4:1 to receive SNR1611 (0.5, 1 mg) or riluzole as an active comparator. The study will initiate with the first group of patients who will receive SNR1611 (0.5 mg, 8 patients) or riluzole (100 mg, 2 patients), while the initiation of the next dose groups will be decided by the IDMC (Independent Data Monitoring Committee) through safety assessment of the first 4-week periods of prior dose groups.
