Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to study use of advance Digital Health Technologies (DHT) and its validity as measures for assessing progression in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients. A total of 80 ALS patients will be recruited across US, and will involve two sites - St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ, and Emory University ALS Clinic in Atlanta. This will be a fully remote observational study and will employ remote data collection platforms such as (a) A digital spirometry device powered by a mobile app will be used to measure vital capacity; (b) A clinical-grade voice recording app will be used to evaluate speech function; (c) A medical-grade wearable sensor will be used to monitor activity levels and sleep patterns; and (d) Standardized Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessments (eCOA) and Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO) will be used to evaluate quality of life and cognitive abilities. The main goals of this study is to answer some of these questions: 1. Can ALS patients measure important aspects of disease progression at home, either by themselves with appropriate training or with assistance of a coordinators via virtual visit? 2. Which clinical outcome measures collected through DHT are sensitive indicators of ALS progression? 3. Are the measures reproducible and whether they can correlate with gold standard assessments? The results of this study have the potential to provide valuable information for designing future ALS trials that are more decentralized, more patient-centric, and require less visits to the clinic which typically become a major burden with disease progression
