What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • IPL344Drug

    IPL344 will be administered by intravenously (IV) infusion once a day (every 24±6 hours), using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line or a permanent port. IPL344 will be administered using an electronic pump at a flow rate that will be determined in protocol 101/2. The dose will be fixed as MTD as established in protocol 101/2 (up to 3.2 mg/kg).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Reporting

    All AEs will be recorded, whether considered minor or serious, drug-related or not

    Measured: upto 36 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes from baseline in ALS disease progression

    Evaluated by the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale(ALSFRS-R). The ALSFRS-R is a quickly administered (5 min) ordinal rating scale used to determine a subject's assessment of their capability and independence in 12 functional activities. There are 12 questions, graded by the subject 0-4 (4 is normal). Score of 0 (worst) to 48 (best). Reflects speech and swallowing, fine motor skills, large motor skills, and breathing

    Measured: upto 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing IPL344 in people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), run by Immunity Pharma Ltd. at 2 sites in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Reporting (time frame: upto 36 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jan 2025.
