Study Summary

This study assessed the effect of tirasemtiv versus placebo on respiratory function in patients with ALS.

Primary Outcome

SVC was measured using a spirometer (in units of liters). Following 3 to 5 breaths at rest, the patients were instructed to take as deep an inspiration as possible followed by a maximum exhalation (blowing out all the air in their lungs). Values obtained were converted to % predicted values (ie, the test result as a percent of predicted values for patients of similar demographic and baseline characteristics \[eg, height, age, sex\], based on Knudson 83 normative values).

Interventions

  • DRUG Placebo tablets
  • DRUG Tirasemtiv
