VITALITY-ALS is a Phase 3 clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tirasemtiv, an investigational drug candidate under evaluation for the potential treatment of ALS. The objective of the clinical trial is to assess the effect of tirasemtiv versus placebo on respiratory function.
