This is a prospective study in a cohort of about 45 patients with ALS participating in the Neurosense PrimeC drug study (NCT05357950).
This study aims to evaluate the correlation between oculometric measures and clinical endpoints. Subjects will be evaluated every 2 months during a time period of 18 months. The evaluations will include ALSFRS-R examination, as well as an oculometric evaluation for eye movements.
This is an observational prospective study in a cohort of about 45 patients with ALS participating in the Neurosense PrimeC drug study (NCT05357950), which is a Phase IIb, Randomized, Prospective, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study, to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of PrimeC in Subjects with ALS. The subjects are males or females with familial or sporadic ALS of no more than 30 months disease duration, who meet the inclusion criteria of the PrimeC drug study, provide a signed an Informed consent and are willing and able to comply with study's procedures including follow-up visits.
This study is designed to evaluate the correlation between oculometric measures and the Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R). Subjects will be evaluated every 2 months during a time period of 18 months. The evaluations will include an ALSFRS-R examination by a certified neurologist and other tests. In addition, all patients will undergo a NeuraLight session for oculometric evaluation along with eye-tracking recordings. All assessments will be performed during a clinic visit unless authorized to be conducted remotely.

Presence at screening of any medically significant cardiac, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, or psychiatric illness that might interfere with the subject's ability to comply with study procedures or that might confound the interpretation of clinical safety data, including, but not limited to:
Subject who is treated with chronic aspirin or NSAIDs and is at risk if stopped. Clopidogrel is allowed and can replace Aspirin.
Any contraindication for ciprofloxacin and celecoxib according to the current prescribing information.
Female who is pregnant or breastfeeding or with intention of becoming pregnant during the course of the study.
Any impairment or social circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would render the subject not suitable to participate in the study.
Subject, or subject's legal guardian(s) is/are unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study.
Subject is participating in (or plans to participate in) any other investigational drug trial, or plans to be exposed to any other investigational agent, device and/or procedure, from 30 days prior to Screening through study completion.
