The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of RAG-17 in adult amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients with SOD1 mutation. Patients will receive drug treamtent via dose escalation which ranging from minimum of 60 mg to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), after reaching the tolerated dose, a fixed dose of the drug is given once every two months for continuous treatment, and the total treatment cycle is 8 months. The duration of this study is two years.
This study is an open-label, single center, first-in-Human dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of RAG-17 in adultamyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients with SOD1 mutation via dose escalations. Patients will receive 60mg of RAG-17 firstly, within 14 days after the first administration, the subject has no adverse event (AE) and serious adverse event (SAE), the subject can accept dose escalation every 30mg/14 days of observation period. 3 to 4 dose escalations are planned to reach the dose limiting toxicity (DLT), with optimal doses for continual 6-month treatment cycles. For the dose of subsequent continuous treatment, an optimal dose between the safe dose and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is selected as the continuous treatment dose. SAS software is used for safety analysis. The sample size of this study is 6 ALS patients with SOD1 mutation.
