Multicenter ALS Imaging Study (NCT06735014)
Multicenter Longitudinal Imaging in ALS for Disease Biomarker Development
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a multi-site study of ALS participants and healthy controls who will undergo brain and cervical spine MRIs and NfL blood testing at up-to 4 time points over the course of a year. The primary goal is to identify objective biomarkers of disease progression that are biologically relevant, linearly progressive, and sensitive to change.
