| Change in ALS Functional Rating Scale - Revised (ALSFRS-R) | The ALSFRS-R measures 4 functional domains, including respiratory, bulbar function, gross motor skills, and fine motor skills. There are 12 questions, each scored from 0 to 4, for a total possible score of 48, with higher scores representing better function. |

| From Baseline through study completion, an average of 8 months |
| From Baseline to Week 28 |
| Change in Slow Vital Capacity (SVC) | Vital capacity will be measured by means of a slow vital capacity test, performed following a standardized protocol established by the Northeast ALS Consortium. | From Baseline to Week 28 |
| Change in Handheld Dynamometry (HHD) | Quantitative muscle strength will be evaluated using HHD of multiple muscles using standard participant positioning. | From Baseline to Week 28 |
| Change in Rasch Overall ALS Disability Scale (ROADS) | The Rasch-built Overall ALS Disability Scale (ROADS) is a patient-reported outcome measure that assesses 28 items, each scored 0-2, and then provides a normed total score from 0-146 to capture overall disability level in a linearly-weighted manner, meaning that a 1-point change on the normed ROADS score represents a quantifiable and consistent measurement of disability, and a 2-point change reflects twice the amount of disability. | From Baseline to Week 28 |
| Change in Motor Functional Independence Measure (FIM) | The Motor Functional Independence Measure (FIM) consists of 13 items assessing motor function scored 0-7, for a maximum score of 91, which indicates the highest level of function. | From Baseline to Week 28 |
| Change in EuroQol 5-dimension, 5-level scale (EQ-5D-5L) | The EuroQol Five Dimension (EQ-5D-5L) is a standardized generic measure of health status and consists of 2 sections. The first section comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The EQ-5D-5L measures the dimensions on a 5-point scale: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. The second section comprises the visual analogue scale that records the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical scale ranging from 0 to 100 where the endpoints are labelled "best imaginable health state" and "worst imaginable health state." | From Baseline to Week 28 |
| Change in ALS Assessment Questionnaire, 5-item scale (ALSAQ-5) | The ALSAQ-5 is a disease-specific self-reported health status questionnaire. The ALSAQ-5 contains 5 questions, each corresponding to 1 of the following 5 health-related dimensions: physical mobility, activities of daily living, eating and drinking abilities, communication, and emotional functioning. The questions are followed by 5 responses with the raw scores ranging from 0 = Never to 4 = Always or cannot do at all. The ALSAQ-5 total score ranges from 0 to 100 with a lower score representing a better health-related status. | From Baseline to Week 28 |
