Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

The kind, frequency, severity and extent of adverse events, transition of laboratory values and the percentage of discontinued cases during double blined 24 weeks.

Key secondary outcomes

After double blined 24 weeks,
1) Ratio of change in ALSFRS-R score per 4 weeks before and after treatment start
2) Change in ALSFRS-R score at 24 weeks in double-blind phase (double-blind day 1 to 24)
3) Change in ALSFRS-R score of the continuation period (final evaluation from first evaluation in continuation phase) and the whole administration period (day 1 in double-blind phase to final evaluation in continuation phase)
4) Completed Assessment of Function and Survival (CAFS) score at double-blind phase 24 weeks (day 1 to 24 weeks in double-blinded phase), continuation period (first evaluation to final evaluation in continuation phase) and whole administration period (day 1 in double-blind phase to final evaluation in continuation phase)
5) Combined evaluation by converting the following items into Z scores and adding them together
・Subscore for each ALSFRS-R domain (bulbar function, limb function, breathing function)
・ALS severity score
・Simple respiratory function test (FEV 1, FEV 6)
・Precise respiratory function test (VC, %FVC, FEV1%)
・Manual Muscle Test (MMT) score (limbs, trunk) and quantitative muscular strength
・Grip strength, pinch strength
・Modified Norris Scale (Bulbar Symptom Score)
・Tongue pressure
・Weight
・Physical activities, number of steps
・Objective muscle mass by skeletal muscle CT
・ALSAQ-40 score
6) Period until death or certain disease progression (death, inability to walk independently, abolition of one side upper limb function, tracheostomy, wearing of artificial respiratory equipment, intubation of nutrition, loss of practical conversation)
7) Period up to %FVC < 50%
8) Period until ALSFRS-R score decreased by 6 or more
9) Percentage of discontinued cases from day 1 in double-blind phase to final evaluation in continuation phase

Key inclusion criteria

(At provisional registration)
(1) Patients falling under probable laboratory-supported ALS, Clinically probable ALS or Clinically definite ALS in ALS diagnostic criteria (revised El Escorial criteria by the World Federation of Neurology), and within 60 months after onset
(2) Patients with severity classification of ALS (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Specific Disease Research 2007.1.1) of 1 or 2
(3) Japanese patients who aged 20 to 80 years old
(4) Patients with the all items in ALSFRS-R (patients with the item in writing and feeding behavior (1) on one or both sides of 2 or more points) of 2 or more points
(5) Patients with percent FVC more than 70
(6) Patients who can submit written informed consent. If patients are duly capable of study consent but are unable to sign by themselves due to aggravation of disease condition, written informed consent can be obtained from a legally authorized representative who can sign on behalf of the patients after confirming the patients' agreement to study participation.
(7) Patients eligible for outpatient visit (and hospitalization) during trial period

(At definitive registration)
(8) Patients whose change in ALSFRS-R score is between -2 to -5 during 12 weeks of observation phase
(9) Patients who have not newly introduced riluzole since the start of observation phase, and who have not changed or discontinued the dose of riluzole
(10) Patients who did not administered edaravone and high-dose mecobalamin (25 mg or 50 mg) since the start of observation phase
(11) Patients eligible for outpatient visit (and hospitalization) during trial period

Key exclusion criteria

(1) Patients with severe diseases such as hepatic disorder, kidney disorder, heart disease, lung disease, blood disorder, metabolic disorder and whom investigators judged inappropriate for trial
(2) Patients who participated in other clinical trials within 30 days prior to provisional registration
(3) Patients with cancer complicated, or not more than 5 years after cure
(4) Patients who have used ropinirole hydrochloride
(5) Patients with family history of ALS with SOD-1 mutation or who have previously been diagnosed with ALS with SOD-1 mutations
(6) Pregnant women or women who may be pregnant, lactating women
(7) Patients with orthostatic hypotension with subjective symptoms (dizziness, syncope etc.)
(8) Patients who have psychiatric disorders or psychiatric symptoms and are considered difficult to participate in this trial
(9) Patients whom investigators judged as inappropriate for trial
