Abstract

Clinical and non-clinical studies have shown that intramuscular ultra-high dose methylcobalamin is potentially effective against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Post hoc analyses in a previous phase 2/3 clinical trial showed that methylcobalamin prolonged survival time and arrested functional decline compared to placebo in patients registered within 12 months of ALS onset. The objective of the next trial: The Japanese Early Stage Trial of High Dose Methylcobalamin for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (JETALS), was to reconfirm the efficacy and safety of ultra-high dose methylcobalamin for ALS patients in their early stages. (NCT03548311).
