Injectable Liquid |
- • To evaluate the long-term safety of intramuscular (IM) injections of Engensis in Participants with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Day 365 ]• Incidence of adverse events (AE) for Engensis compared to Placebo
- • To evaluate changes in muscle function following Engensis injections in ALS Participants [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Day 365 ]• Changes from Baseline (Study VMALS 002-2 Day 0) in Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Function Rating (ALSFRS-R) scores at Day 365 for Engensis compared to Placebo
- • To evaluate muscle strength changes following Engensis injections in ALS Participants [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Day 365 ]• Change from Baseline (Study VMALS 002-2 Day 0) in muscle strength assessed bilaterally by Handheld Dynamometry (HHD) in muscles in the upper and lower extremities at Day 365 for Engensis compared to Placebo
- • To determine whether IM administration of Engensis has effects on respiratory capacity in ALS Participants [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Day 365 ]• Change from Baseline (Study VMALS 002-2 Day 0) in Slow Vital Capacity (SVC) at Day 365 for Engensis compared to Placebo
- • To determine whether IM administration of Engensis has effects on respiratory function in ALS Participants [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Day 365 ]• Time to tracheostomy for Engensis
- • To determine whether IM administration of Engensis has positive effects on survival in ALS Participants [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Day 365 ]• Time to all-cause mortality compared to Placebo
- • To evaluate Quality of Life improvement following Engensis injections in ALS Participants compared to Placebo [ Time Frame: Day 0 to Day 365 ]• Change from Baseline (Day 0) in Quality of Life (QoL) using the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Assessment Questionnaire (ALSAQ; with 40 items, ALSAQ 40) on Day 365 for Engensis compared to Placebo
- • To evaluate Patient Reported Outcome improvement following Engensis injections in ALS Participants compared to Placebo [ Time Frame: Day 365 ]• Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at Day 365 for Engensis compared to Placebo
- • To evaluate Clinician Reported Outcome improvement following Engensis injections in ALS Participants compared to Placebo [ Time Frame: Day 365 ]• Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) at Day 365 for Engensis compared to Placebo
