Help us evaluate the safety and efficacy of COYA 302
Recruiting ALS patients
Study Name
Study of COYA 302 for the Treatment of ALS (ALSTARS)
PI
Site-PIs: Nathan Carberry, MD; Michael Benatar, MD, PhD
Study Type
Interventional (double-blind and open-label phases)
Eligible Population
- El Escorial clinically probable, lab-supported probable, or definite ALS; sporadic or familial
- Age 18-80
- ≤36 months since ALS symptom (weakness in extremity, bulbar, or respiratory muscles) onset
- ALSFRS-R total ≥35 at Screening
- deltaFRS at Baseline between -0.5 & -1.5 points/month
- SVC ≥ 70% of predicted capacity
- Stable dose of riluzole, edavarone and/or tofersen
Study Purpose/Goals
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of COYA 302, a combination therapy comprised of low dose interleukin-2 (LD IL-2) and DRL_AB (a biosimilar candidate for abatacept).
- COYA 302 is administered subcutaneously, and has a dual immunomodulatory mechanism of action intended to reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in ALS.
Procedures/Participation
6 months of double-blind treatment (24 weeks)
Active treatment extension period after DB phase (48 weeks)
First three visits 2 weeks apart, then monthly visits with two calls in between
Study procedures:
– Neuromuscular exam
– Outcome measurements for disease progression
– Respiratory function and muscle strength test
– Laboratory: blood and urine samples
