Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease involving selective impairment of motor nerves and presenting with progressive muscular weakness and atrophy. Its etiology remains to be clarified, and no drug adequately effective against this disease is available at present. Thus, it has been desired to develop new methods of treatment for this disease. In our previous studies using a system of cultured cells exposed to oxidative stress, it was shown that NDDPX08 (a compound currently used clinically as a means of treating Parkinson's disease) uppresses loss of nerve cell viability. Furthermore, treatment with NDDPX08 after the onset of ALS was shown to improve motor function and extend the survival period of transgenic mice (mice transfected with the familial ALS type 1 mutant SOD-1 gene, an animal model of ALS).

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Statistical analysis of efficacy data at the end of the study is assigned to an outside contractor. The information about the subjects assigned to the active drug treatment and placebo groups is disclosed at the time of statistical analysis. Statistical analysis as to the efficacy of the test drug is carried out in comparison to the efficacy data from the placebo group, the time course of variables relative to estimates at the end of the 12-week observation period and the natural history of the disease.
The ALS Treatment Plan Evaluation Committee evaluates and judges the safety and efficacy of NDDPX08 in patients with ALS on the basis of the results of the statistical analysis.

Interventions/Control_1

For patients who begin to receive Rilutek treatment at the start or 4 weeks before the start of the observation period, the 12-week treatment with Rilutek alone (100 mg/day) during the observation period is followed by combined treatment (Rilutek + NDDPX08). The NDDPX08 dose level begins at 1.25 mg/day and is increased in steps to 15 mg/day during the 12-week treatment period according to the dose escalation schedule given on the next page (Fig. 1). If any serious adverse reaction arises following a dose increase to 10 mg/day and it is judged to be difficult to maintain this dose level, the dose level of 7.5 mg/day is regarded as the maintenance dose level. If alleviation of symptoms is noted during dose escalation steps, the dose level producing alleviation of symptoms is used as the maintenance dose level.
The total NDDPX08 treatment period is 58-90 weeks (including the 4 weeks during which the dose level is reduced in steps). Follow-up of adverse events is continued until 1 month after the end of NDDPX08 treatment.

Interventions/Control_2

Placebo (lactose) is administered to 10 of the 50 subjects planned to be enrolled in the study.
