Population: Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Function Rating scores - Change from Baseline to Day 180 (ITT Population)

Change from Baseline (Day 0) in total mean Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Function Rating scores, subscores for Fine and Gross Motor Functions and Bulbar Function, and slope of the total score. The Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Function Rating scores includes twelve questions that ask the physician to rate his/her impression of the patient's level of functional impairment in performing one of twelve common tasks e.g., climbing stairs). Each task is rated on a five-point scale from 0 = can't do, to 4 = normal ability. Individual item scores are summed to produce a reported score of between 0 = worst and 48 = best. The Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Function Rating scores was conducted at Screening, pre-dose on Days 0, 60, and 120, and on Days 30, 84, 144, and 180.

Population: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Assessment Questionnaire. Percent Change from Baseline (ITT Population) for Engensis and Placebo.

The Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Assessment Questionnaire has 40 items (ALSAQ-40), and is a standardized Quality of Life assessment. The Participant completes the 40 questions in the ALSAQ-40 with 5 categories: Physical Mobility, Activities of Daily Living and Independence, Eating and Drinking, Communication, and Emotional Reactions. Each question has 5 responses to select from: 0-Never (Best Case), 1-Rarely, 2-Sometime, 3-Often, and 4-Always (Worst Case). Note for each question there is a Minimum of 0 (Best), to the Maximum 4 (Worst). Decreasing scores indicates improvement of symptoms. The Total ALSAQ-40 scores are per Category as percentages of 100% maximum. Each Category percentage is summed for the Intent-to-treat Population. The Change from Baseline is displayed in the Table. ALSAQ-40 was completed at the pre-dose visit (Day 0), and at the Day 84 and Day 180 visits. The Total Change From Baseline is calculated for the Day 84 visit, and the Day 180 visit.

Population: Patient Global Impression of Change - ITT Population

The subject's impression of change after treatment was measured with the Patient Global Impression of Change questionnaire through use of the electronic Patient Reported Outcome . This questionnaire measures the subject's perception of how treatment has affected their level of activity, symptoms, emotions, and overall quality of life. Each descriptor is ranked on an increasing improvement scale; where 1 = No change (or condition has got worse), 2=Almost the same, hardly any change at all, 3=A little better, but no noticeable change, 4=Somewhat better, but the change has not made any real difference, 5=Moderately better, and a slight but noticeable change, 6=Better, and a definite improvement that has made a real and worthwhile difference, and 7 = A great deal better, and a considerable improvement that has made all the difference. The test was self-administered on Days 84 and 180.
