Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis can be described as a disease with a poorly understood pathophysiologic mechanism and no treatment that dramatically impacts the course of the disease. Clinical trialists are faced with finding small treatment effects against a background of multiple potential treatments, a past history of failed trials, and heterogenous clinical outcomes. This article summarizes this environment and provides a rationale for drug development going forward.Entities:
