ALS Treatment Extension Study

A Treatment Continuation Study for Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/Motor Neuron Disease Who Have Successfully Completed Study CMD-2016-001

Treatment extension study for ALS/MND patients who participated in phase 1 study CMD-2016-001, completed assessments following six 28-day cycles of treatment, and whom the Investigator considers would benefit from continued CuATSM treatment.

Detailed Description

Treatment extension study for ALS/MND patients who participated in phase 1 study CMD-2016-001, completed assessments following six 28-day cycles of treatment, and whom the Investigator considers would benefit from continued CuATSM treatment. The same safety assessments as in the CMD-2016-001 study will be conducted after each cycle of treatment and the same efficacy assessments as in the CMD-2016-001 study will be conducted after every 3 cycles of treatment. Treatment will continue until the first to occur of (1) Investigator considers the patient is no longer deriving benefit from CuATSM treatment, (2) patient develops dependence on mechanical ventilation where dependence is defined as being unable to lie flat (supine) without it, unable to sleep without it, or daytime use, or (3) the patient withdraws consent.
