Study Summary

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that causes the death of upper and lower motor neurons. ALS symptoms are characterized by stiffness, muscle twitching, and worsening weakness due to muscle breakdown. Onset of symptoms are typically arm or leg weakness or difficulty speaking or swallowing and gradual development of overall body weakness. The cause is unknown and there is no cure for ALS. Poly MVA was found to substantially lower fatigue and improve quality of life in a pilot study of patients with varied medical disorders. The reduction in fatigue was also observed in a small series of patients enrolled in an open label study for patients with gliomas. In this study, we want to find out more about a dietary supplement, called Poly MVA (also called the study drug in this form), for people with ALS. We want to find out if Poly MVA reduces the symptoms of fatigue and depression when taken daily. The supplement contains vitamins, minerals and amino acids (proteins) and has been used by patients with other medical conditions to help with their fatigue and quality of life.

Primary Outcome

Subjects will be assessed for fatigue using the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale - Respiratory (ALSFRS-R), a 12-item scale with possible scores ranging from 0 - 48 where 0 = total dependence and 48 = normal function.
