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
