Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of CORT113176 (dazucorilant) in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Drug: Dazucorilant 300 mg Drug: Dazucorilant 150 mg Other: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Eligible ALS patients will be randomized to one of three treatment arms (1:1:1) across North America and Europe for a 24-week double-blind treatment period.

Patients who complete participation (i.e., completed all visits) in the double-blind treatment period will be eligible for participation in a 132-week open-label extension (OLE) study. A daily dose of 300 mg dazucorilant will be used in the 132-week OLE period.

Patients that complete the double-blind treatment period and who do not enter the OLE will enter the 132-week follow-up period.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from Baseline to Week 24 in the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) total score. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
  2. Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), treatment-related AEs, AEs by severity, and deaths due to AEs. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from Baseline to Week 24 in muscle strength (assessed using hand-held dynamometer). [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
  2. Change from Baseline to Week 24 in Percent Slow Vital Capacity [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
  3. Change from Baseline to Week 24 in EuroQol-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
