Current Primary Outcome Measures ICMJE |
The Proportion of NurOwn® Treated Participants With a ≥1.25 Points/Month Improvement in Post-treatment Slope vs. Pre-treatment Slope in ALSFRS-R Score at 28 Weeks Following the First Treatment as Compared to Placebo [ Time Frame: 28 weeks following the first intrathecal injection ] The ALSFRS-R is a quickly administered (10 minutes) ordinal, validated rating scale (ratings 0-4) used to determine participants' assessment of their capability and independence in 12 functional activities. All 12 activities are relevant in ALS. Initial validity was established by documenting that in ALS patients, change in ALSFRS-R scores correlated with change in strength over time, as measured by quantitative neuromuscular strength testing, and with quality of life measures, and predicted survival. The total score of ALSFRS-R ranges from 0-48, with higher score being better.

Original Primary Outcome Measures ICMJE |
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of NurOwn® (autologous MSC-NTF cells) as compared to placebo as measured by the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis functional rating scale (ALSFRS-R) [ Time Frame: 28 weeks following the first treatment ] To determine efficacy and safety of repeat intrathecal injections of NurOwn® as compared to Placebo given three times two months apart to participants with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Official Title ICMJE | A Phase 3, Randomized Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Multicenter Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Repeated Administration of NurOwn® (Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells Secreting Neurotrophic Factors) in Participants With ALS | ||||||||||||||||||
Brief Summary | This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeated administration of NurOwn® (MSC-NTF cells) therapy, which is based on transplantation of autologous bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), which are enriched from the patient's own bone marrow, propagated ex vivo and induced to secrete Neurotrophic factors (NTFs). The autologous NurOwn® (MSC-NTF cells) are back-transplanted into the patient intrathecally by standard lumbar puncture where neurons and glial cells are expected to take up the neurotrophic factors secreted by the transplanted cells |
||||||||||||||||||
Detailed Description | Neurotrophic factors (NTFs) are potent survival factors for embryonic, neonatal, and adult neurons and are considered potential therapeutic candidates for ALS. Delivery of multiple NTFs to the immediate environment of afflicted neurons in ALS patients is expected to improve their survival and thus slow down disease progression and alleviate symptoms. NTF-secreting mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC-NTF cells) are a novel cell-therapeutic approach aimed at effectively delivering NTFs directly to the site of damage in ALS patients. Participants meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized and will undergo bone-marrow aspiration. MSC of the participants randomized to the treatment group will be induced into MSC-NTF cells. Participants will undergo a total of three intrathecal (IT) transplantations with NurOwn® (MSC-NTF cells) or matching placebo at three bi-monthly intervals |
