Study summary

This study is a multi-center, open-label study of intravenous (IV) ANX005 in participants with ALS.

Read the detailed description

In this Phase 2a, multi-center, open label, proof-of-biology study, ANX005 will be administered to participants with ALS.

The study consists of approximately 22 weeks of treatment and approximately 14 weeks of follow-up. All participants will be contacted by phone 6 months after study completion.

Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of ALS according to the World Federation of Neurology revised EI Escorial criteria.
  • Onset of weakness within 3 years prior to Day 1 visit.
  • Slow Vital Capacity ≥ 50% of predicted normal adjusted for sex, age, and height (from the sitting position).
  • ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) ≥ 30 at the Screening visit (Week -2).
  • If female, must be , surgically sterilized, or must agree to use highly effective methods of from Screening until 3 months after the last infusion with study medication.
  • Males with a woman partner of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception from Screening until Week until 3 months after the last infusion with study medication.
  • Documented history of vaccinations within 5 years prior to Screening visit against encapsulated bacterial pathogens or willing to undergo vaccinations.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • intercurrent illness, medical condition, or medical history that would jeopardize the safety of the participant, limit participation, or compromise the interpretation of the data derived from the participant.
  • Participants with body weight > 150 kilograms.
  • Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) titer ≥ 1:160 (for either of the 2 ANA results a minimum of 2 weeks apart) during the Screening Period.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2021 to primary completion in Jan 2024, 35 months.

Of 36 industry-sponsored phase 2 interventional studies under Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 35. This study's 35 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 73 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 35.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 6, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
