Neurofilament Light Chain in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Study on Neurofilament Light Chain in ALS patients.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study looks at the neurofilament light chain (NfL) in the blood of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease affecting the nervous system. NfL can help understand how ALS progresses, how long it lasts, and how different types of ALS develop. The study includes 3,000 ALS patients and uses a special method called Single Molecule Analysis (SIMOA) to measure NfL levels. The goal is to see if NfL can be a marker for ALS progression and treatment. The study will also explore different forms of ALS based on motor neuron involvement, which are the cells that control muscle movement. People 18 and older diagnosed with ALS can participate if they agree to provide blood samples and allow the use of their medical data.

  • Study involves blood samples from 3,000 ALS patients.
  • Participants must be at least 18 years old and diagnosed with ALS.
  • Agreement to share medical data is required.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
