About this trial

This study primarily evaluates the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of RAG - 17 in adult ALS patients with SOD1 - mutated genes in the real - world setting.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

18 ≤ Age ≤ 75 years old, regardless of gender.

ALS patients with confirmed SOD1 gene mutations (known SOD1 mutation sites with reported relevant disease progression).

The diagnosis meets the criteria for definite or probable familial or sporadic ALS in the El Escorial diagnostic criteria for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis revised by the World Federation of Neurology.

The patient himself/herself or their legal representative clearly understands, voluntarily participates in this study, and signs the informed consent form.

Disqualifiers

Patients with SOD1 mutation sites occurring at nucleotides 44 - 66 (counting from the start of SOD1 protein translation) and patients with P.F21C mutation.

Patients diagnosed with other mental illnesses according to the DSM - V diagnostic criteria, or those with obvious suicidal intent.

Patients with severe hepatic insufficiency, severe renal insufficiency, or severe cardiac insufficiency. (Severe hepatic insufficiency refers to an ALT value ≥ 2.0 times the upper limit of normal or an AST value ≥ 2.0 times the upper limit of normal; severe renal insufficiency refers to a CRE ≥ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal or an eGFR < 40 mL/min/1.73m²; severe cardiac insufficiency refers to a NYHA score of 3 - 4.)

Patients with a history of alcohol or drug abuse.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events

Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events within 570 days after treating SOD1 - ALS patients with RAG - 17 in the real world, and number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) V5.0.

Time frame
Baseline to 570 days
2

ALSFRS-R score

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) score (ALSFRS-R scores from 0 to 48, score decline indicates worse outcome of ALS patients, or disease progression and disability)

Time frame
baseline, 60±3 days, 120±3 days, 180±3 days, 240±3 days, 300±3 days, 360±3 days, 450±3 days, 540±3 days, and 570±3 days

Secondary outcomes

1

The level of SOD1 protein in cerebrospinal fluid

The level of SOD1 protein in the cerebrospinal fluid of ALS patients is positively correlated with the disease severity. Changes in the level of SOD1 protein in cerebrospinal fluid relative to the baseline at 60±3 days, 120±3 days, 180±3 days, 240±3 days, 300±3 days, 360±3 days, 450±3 days, and 540±3 days after treating SOD1 - ALS patients with RAG - 17 in the real - world setting

Time frame
baseline, 60±3 days, 120±3 days, 180±3 days, 240±3 days, 300±3 days, 360±3 days, 450±3 days, and 540±3 days
2

Plasma neurofilament light chain protein (NFL) level

The level of neurofilament light chain (NFL) in blood of ALS patients. Value increase indicates neuroinflammation or nerve damage. Changes in plasma neurofilament light chain protein (NFL) levels relative to the baseline at 60±3 days, 120±3 days, 180±3 days, 240±3 days, 300±3 days, 360±3 days, 450±3 days, and 540±3 days after treating SOD1 - ALS patients with RAG - 17 in the real world

Time frame
baseline, 60±3 days, 120±3 days, 180±3 days, 240±3 days, 300±3 days, 360±3 days, 450±3 days, and 540±3 days
3

Invasive mechanical ventilation

The time of occurrence of invasive mechanical ventilation after treating SOD1-ALS patients with RAG-17 in the real world

Time frame
From date of randomization until the date of first documented event about invasive mechanical ventilation. The assessment period is up to 30 months.
4

Gastrostomy

The time of occurrence of gastrostomy after treating SOD1-ALS patients with RAG-17 in the real world

Time frame
From date of randomization until the date of first documented event about gastrostomy. The assessment period is up to 30 months.
