Beskrivelse
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female aged at least 18 years.
- Sporadic or familial ALS diagnosed as per Gold Coast Criteria (37).
- Patient is able to understand and express informed consent (in the opinion of the site investigator).
- Patient is able to read and write English.
- Patient is expected to survive for the duration of the trial.
- Women must not be pregnant (will have evidence of a negative pregnancy test obtained by study team at baseline, or by local physician within past 7 days or be post-menopausal)
- Women must not be able to become pregnant (e.g., post-menopausal, surgically sterile, or using adequate birth control methods) for the duration of the study and three months after study completion. Adequate contraception includes abstinence, hormonal contraception (oral contraception, implanted contraception, injected contraception, or other hormonal contraception, for example patch or contraceptive ring), intrauterine device (IUD) in place for ≥ 3 months, barrier method in conjunction with spermicide, or another adequate method.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Actively or recently (within past 30 days) participating in another intervention trial.
- Currently or recently (within 30 days) taking HMB
- Prior side effects from HMB deemed to be significant by the investigator
- Patient has a medical or psychiatric illness that could in the investigator's opinion interfere with the patient's ability to participate in this study.
- Pregnant women or women currently breastfeeding.
- Elevated serum calcium or vitamin D levels.
- Life expectancy shorter than the duration of the trial.

Eksperimentel: β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) administration
|
Our source of HMB will be Life Extension's "Wellness Code Muscle Strength & Restore Formula.
The dose will be 3g daily, which has previously been shown to be safe and well-tolerated, and to reduce IGFBP7 blood levels in humans.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
ALS Functional Rating Scale, Revised (ALSFRS-R)
Tidsramme: Baseline, month 3, month 9
|
A quickly administered (five minute) ordinal rating scale (ratings 0-4) used to determine patients' assessments of their capability and independence in 12 functional activities.
All 12 activities are relevant to people living with ALS.The ALSFRS-R declines linearly with time over a wide range during the course of ALS and it has been validated for telephone use.
The ALSFRS-R Range is 0-48.
The more points, the better the person is functioning.

Baseline, month 3, month 9

|
Speech (Listener Effort)
Tidsramme: Baseline, month 3, month 9
|
Listener effort (LE) is a perceptual rating of the amount of work necessary for a listener to understand speech, rated by an expert speech-language pathologist on a visual analog scale from 0 (easily understood) - 100 (unintelligible even with full effort) and it has proven to be one of the most robust overall measures of dysarthria.

Neurofilament Light Chain levels (blood)
Tidsramme: Baseline, month 3, and month 6
|
Neurofilaments are neuron-specific components of the cytoskeleton.
They exist in heavy, medium, and light chain forms.
Neurofilament light chain levels are elevated in the spinal fluid and the blood of patients with ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases, and higher levels predict more severe disease progression.

Frequency of ALS reversals
Tidsramme: 6 months
|
Frequency of ALS reversals will be calculated as the number of participants who have an ALSFRS-R score that improves by 4 points or more over 6 months of treatment.
