Brief Summary:

The HEALEY ALS Platform Trial is a perpetual multi-center, multi-regimen clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of investigational products for the treatment of ALS.

Regimen D will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single study drug, pridopidine, in participants with ALS.

Detailed Description:

The HEALEY ALS Platform Trial is a perpetual multi-center, multi-regimen clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of investigational products for the treatment of ALS. This trial is designed as a perpetual platform trial. This means that there is a single Master Protocol dictating the conduct of the trial. The HEALEY ALS Platform Trial Master Protocol is registered as NCT04297683.

Once a participant enrolls into the Master Protocol and meets all eligibility criteria, the participant will be eligible to be randomized into any currently enrolling regimen. All participants will have an equal chance of being randomized to any currently enrolling regimen.

If a participant is randomized to Regimen D Pridopidine, the participant will complete a screening visit to assess additional Regimen D eligibility criteria. Once Regimen D eligibility criteria are confirmed, participants will complete a baseline assessment and be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to either active pridopidine or matching placebo.

Regimen D will enroll by invitation, as participants may not choose to enroll in Regimen D. Participants must first enroll into the Master Protocol and be eligible to participate in the Master Protocol before being able to be randomly assigned to Regimen D.

For a list of enrolling sites, please see the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial Master Protocol under NCT04297683.

Open or close this module Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures:
1. Disease Progression
[ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]

Change in disease severity over time as measured by the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R). Each type of function is scored from 4 (normal) to 0 (no ability), with a maximum total score of 48 and a minimum total score of 0. Patients with higher scores have more physical function.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
1. Bulbar Function in Participants with Bulbar Dysfunction
[ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]

Change in bulbar function over time in participants with bulbar dysfunction at baseline as measured by the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) bulbar subdomain. Each question is scored from 4 (normal) to 0 (no ability), with a maximum total score of 12 and a minimum total score of 0 for the bulbar subdomain. Patients with higher scores have more bulbar function.
2. Bulbar Function in all Randomized Participants
[ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]

Change in bulbar function over time in all randomized participants as measured by the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) bulbar subdomain. Each question is scored from 4 (normal) to 0 (no ability), with a maximum total score of 12 and a minimum total score of 0 for the bulbar subdomain. Patients with higher scores have more bulbar function.
3. Speech
[ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]

Change in speech over time as measured by the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) speech subdomain. The speech question is scored from 4 (normal) to 0 (no ability), with a maximum total score of 4 and a minimum total score of 0. Patients with higher scores have better speech.
4. Respiratory Function
[ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]

Change in respiratory function over time as measured by Slow Vital Capacity (SVC).
5. Bulbar Function in Participants with Rapid pre-baseline Progression
[ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]

Change in bulbar function over time in participants with rapid pre-baseline progression as measured by the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) bulbar subdomain. Each question is scored from 4 (normal) to 0 (no ability), with a maximum total score of 12 and a minimum total score of 0 for the bulbar subdomain. Patients with higher scores have more bulbar function.
6. Time to Bulbar Dysfunction
[ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]

Time from baseline to the first observed bulbar dysfunction as measured by an ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) bulbar subdomain score of less than 12.
7. Muscle Strength
[ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]

Change in muscle strength over time as measured isometrically using hand-held dynamometry (HHD).
8. Survival
[ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]

Comparison of rate of occurrence between groups.
