The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of TCD601 (siplizumab) in newly diagnosed adult ALS patients.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how safe and tolerable the study drug siplizumab is when given to adult patients with ALS. The study will examine how the drug is distributed in the body and what effects it has on different immune cells in the blood and in the fluid surrounding the motor neurons (cerebrospinal fluid). In addition, the study will monitor the progression of ALS and look for any changes related to the disease that may occur during the study.
