A Phase 1 interventional study of XT-150 in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), sponsored by Xalud Therapeutics, Inc.. Not yet recruiting at 4 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-29.
Sponsored by Xalud Therapeutics, Inc. · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center safety study of XT-150 in adult participants with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Participants providing informed consent and meeting all study eligibility criteria will be enrolled in the study and will receive a single injection of XT-150 at the Baseline visit. Follow-up visits will occur over 180 days (6 months) after the injection.
8 participants (4 participants per dose level) will be enrolled sequentially in up to 2 ascending, single dose cohorts: Cohort 1: 1.5 mg XT-150 Cohort 2: 4.5 mg XT-150
The main questions this study is aiming to answer are:
In addition to evaluating the safety of XT-150, this study will also collect samples to provide information on the following:
In addition, ALS functional score, breathing capacity and strength will be collected over the course of the study.
978 studies on the registry are indexed under Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis; 277 are open to participants now.

Key Inclusion Criteria:
Key Exclusion Criteria:
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.
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.
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.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
