Estimated Enrollment : 184 participants
Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Open Label Extension Study to Investigate Long Term Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid in Patients With ALS Who Completed the TUDCA-ALS Study
Actual Study Start Date : October 25, 2021
Estimated Primary Completion Date : March 31, 2025
Estimated Study Completion Date : March 31, 2025


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Active treatment Drug: Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid
Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) 250 mg capsules Doses: 4 capsules (1 g) twice daily 10-15 minutes after a meal Mode of administration: orally Duration: 18 months
Other Name: TUDCA,Tudcabil, Taurolite




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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).

  2. Change in disease progression and functional impairment [ Time Frame: 18 months ]
    Change in disease progression and functional impairment as measured by ALSFRS-R.
