Purpose of Study

In people with ALS, faster disease progression and decreased lifespan have been linked to immune system dysregulation and inflammatory processes. COYA302 is a subcutaneous injection drug therapy which has been shown to improve immune system regulation and suppress inflammation in people with ALS. This study will assess the safety, effects and long-term efficacy of COYA302 administered to patients with ALS.

The study consists of back-to-back treatment phases, extension phase optional. In initial phase, participants will randomly receive study drug, placebo (dummy) or mixed regimen of both; extension phase will randomly receive study drug or mixed regimen. Participants will complete up to 15 in-person visits (across both phases), each involving a combination of drug administration, blood collection, clinical assessments and procedures. There will be phone calls between visits to monitor participant safety and drug self-administration compliance.
