How this study is set up

The points below are drawn from the public registry record for this study. Each one cites the field or sentence it came from. A dash (—) means the record does not state something — not that it is missing or wrong. Many well-run studies, especially small ones, leave some of these blank.

  • Present: Registered before enrolment beganFirst posted 2024-07-30; recorded start 2025-04-29
  • Present: Has a defined primary outcomeA primary outcome measure is listed in the record
  • Present: The primary outcome states a time frameThe primary outcome measure records a time frame
  • Present: Participants are randomly assignedAllocation is recorded as randomised
  • Present: Has a comparison groupThe record lists a placebo or comparator arm, or more than one study arm
  • Present: Uses blinding (masking)A masking level is recorded in the record
  • Not stated: An ethics committee is not stated in the registry recordThis registry's ingested record has no ethics-committee field

  • Not stated: A data monitoring committee is not stated in the registry recordThis registry's ingested record has no data-monitoring-committee fieldA data monitoring committee is not required for many smaller studies, and its absence here is not unusual.

Trial stature

Three independent measures of this study, described from its registry record — not a recommendation about it. A rigorous study by investigators nobody has heard of is better evidence than a weak study led by a famous one. How these are scored.

Methodological rigourDEFINITIVE

A definitive-grade design for a phase 2 study, judged from its ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Investigator standingUNKNOWN

We have no verifiable track record for the investigator named on this trial. That is common for early-career investigators and for records held outside ClinicalTrials.gov — it is not a negative signal.

How this score is built
  • Investigator standing0/100

    No investigator recorded in the registry for this trial

These describe the registry record only, and today we hold ClinicalTrials.gov data. Absent fields lower a score, and absence often reflects registration practice rather than study quality. A high-stature trial is not necessarily safer or a better choice for you — enrolling in a large definitive trial can mean a higher chance of receiving placebo, while a small early-phase study may be the only route to a new therapy.

ملخص

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, effect on cramps, function and quality of life of ranolazine versus placebo for the treatment of ALS.

A prospective, multi center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of 2 doses of ranolazine (500 mg and 1000 mg twice daily) compared to placebo in patients with ALS. Approximately 72 adults with ALS will be enrolled into the study in the United States at approximately 7 ALS treatment sites. Participants will take oral ranolazine or placebo twice daily, attend a minimum of 5 onsite research visits, and 4 remote research visits. The study is estimated to last 28 weeks for each participant.

مقاييس النتائج

  1. مقياس النتيجة الأولي

    Frequency of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Patient report and medical records will be used to document adverse events and severe adverse events. Adverse events and severe adverse events will be assessed by the investigator and reported as needed for safety.

    الإطار الزمني Up to 28 weeks

  2. مقياس النتيجة الأولي

    Tolerability of treatment assignment

    Tolerability will be measured by percentage of patients who complete the treatment assignment. Dose limiting toxicities will be determined by individual with an adverse event necessitating stopping.

    الإطار الزمني Up to 28 weeks

  3. مقياس النتيجة الأولي

    Muscle cramp frequency

    Muscle cramp frequency will be measured numerically with a reporting period of 7 days. Changes will be compared from baseline to week 28 utilizing a modified Qualitative, Patient-Centered Assessment of Muscle Cramp Impact and Severity questionnaire.

    الإطار الزمني Up to 28 weeks

  4. مقياس النتيجة الأولي

    Muscle cramp severity

    Muscle cramp severity will be measured by a score of 1-10 (1 being a very mild muscle cramp and 10 being the most severe cramp you ever experienced). Changes will be compared from baseline to week 28 utilizing a modified Qualitative, Patient-Centered Assessment of Muscle Cramp Impact and Severity questionnaire.

    الإطار الزمني Up to 28 weeks
