If you join a clinical trial or participate in an expanded access (EA) program, you may be able to try an investigational product — like a study drug or device — that’s not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or available to everyone living with ALS. The investigational product may help slow the progression of your ALS or improve your symptoms.
By participating in any type of clinical research, you can help researchers make scientific discoveries that could make it easier to diagnose, treat, or prevent ALS in the future.
To help researchers learn more about how ALS affects everyone and develop treatments that work for as many people as possible, it’s important for people with many different backgrounds and experiences to get involved in ALS research.
