- Long-term safety and tolerability of TUDCA during the open-label phase [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Long-term safety and tolerability assessed through adverse reaction, concomitant treatment, and routine biochemistry analyses
- Survival time [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Survival time measured by death or respiratory insufficiency (defined as tracheostomy or the use of non-invasive ventilation for ≥22 h per day for ≥10 consecutive days).
- Change in disease progression and functional impairment [ Time Frame: 18 months ]Change in disease progression and functional impairment as measured by ALSFRS-R.
