Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to collect long-term safety data from subjects with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) exposed to dexpramipexole.

Description:

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive, degenerative disease of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord that leads to muscle atrophy and spasticity in limb and bulbar muscles resulting in weakness and loss of ambulation, oropharyngeal dysfunction, weight loss, and ultimately respiratory failure. The purpose of this study is to collect long-term safety data from subjects with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) exposed to dexpramipexole.

• Subject is unwilling or unable to comply with the requirements of the protocol including the presence of any condition (physical, mental, or social) that is likely to affect the subject's ability to comply with the protocol. At a minimum, subjects who are not able to travel to the study site must be willing to agree to remote blood draws for clinical laboratory evaluations and telephone visits to report Adverse Events, concomitant medications, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (revised) (ALSFRS-R) scores.

Secondary	Slope of ALSFRS-R (ALS Functional Rating Scale With Respiratory Component) From Baseline to End of Study	The ALSFRS-R (ALS functional rating scale with respiratory component) is a validated scale which measures 4 functional domains, comprising respiratory function, bulbar function, gross motor skills, and fine motor skills. There are a total of 12 questions, each scored from 0 to 4 for a total possible score between 0 to 48, with higher scores representing better function. Slope is calculated using a linear mixed effects model with x-axis time in months and y-axis ALSFRS-R score. Units for slope are change per month in units on the ALSFRS-R scale.	Up to maximum 226 days: approximately 32.2 weeks
Secondary	Slope of Sniff Nasal Inspiratory Pressure (SNIP) From Baseline to End of Study	SNIP is a test of inspiratory force (sternocleidomastoid and diaphragm) measured via a nasal cannula and is used to assess respiratory muscle weakness and to monitor changes in respiratory muscle strength over time. During the SNIP maneuver, the patient is asked to perform a strong, sharp, maximal sniff, whereby nasal pressure is measured via nasal cannula. The maximum recorded value after several attempts, with rest in between attempts, was use in the analysis.	Up to maximum 226 days: approximately 32.2 weeks
Secondary	Death up to 6 Months	Kaplan-Meier estimate of percentage of subjects who died up to 6 months	6 Months
Secondary	Percentage of Participants With Death or Death Equivalent up to 6 Months	Kaplan-Meier estimate of percentage of subjects who died or had a death equivalent event (tracheostomy or permanent assisted ventilation [PAV], defined as use of noninvasive ventilation [NIV] for =22 hours per day for =10 days) up to 6 months	6 months
