Interventions
- Multi-site direct current stimulation (DCS) — DEVICEThe MyoRegulator® treatment is a non-invasive intervention that suppresses motor neuron hyperexcitability and activates protein degradation pathways through the use of multi-site direct current stimulation (multi-site DCS).
Study Details
Following completion of the ALS Early Feasibility Study of the MyoRegulator® device for treatment of ALS (NCT06165172), the CALM study will further assess the feasibility of the MyoRegulator® device to treat ALS in an expanded number of individuals with ALS. CALM will gather additional preliminary evidence of clinical safety and potential effectiveness in this patient population with a longer follow-up period and additional secondary endpoints in a single-arm study prior to commencing a larger sham-controlled pivotal trial.
