Randomized Double-blind Controlled Exploratory Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of FB1006 in the Treatment of ALS Patients

This is a randomized double-blind controlled exploratory clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FB1006 in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients.

This is a randomized double-blind controlled exploratory clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FB1006 in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. The study has two phases: the first phase is 24 weeks, using a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled design; the second phase is 24 weeks, using an open-label study design.
