This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of Stem Cell from Human Exfoliated Deciduous teeth Conditioned Media (SHED-CM) in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), using the Japanese version of the revised ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) as an indicator.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Stem Cell from Human Exfoliated Deciduous teeth Conditioned Media in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Particular focus will be placed on improving neurological function, slowing the rate of symptom progression, and improving the patient's quality of life. What are the advantages of this therapy over standard therapy? and for which patients it is most effective ?

All Adverse Events
This measure will check the total number of adverse events (AEs) reported during the study, categorized by CTCAE Ver 5.0 .
Time frame: Immediately after each administration and up to 4 weeks post-treatment
Number of Clinically Significant Changes in Laboratory Test Results
This measure will track the number of events where clinically significant abnormalities are detected in laboratory test parameters, including blood count, biochemistry, and coagulation function tests. Changes from baseline to follow-up are evaluated based on predefined clinical thresholds.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, and at follow-up (Week 16).
Number of Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Signs
This measure will evaluate the number of events where clinically significant changes in vital signs occur. Parameters include systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature, and SpO2. Each event will be assessed at two time points: immediately after treatment and after follow-up session, comparing values to baseline.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, and at follow-up (Week 16).
Safety assessment during the study period: Adverse events - Self- and other findings
Medical examination, subjective findings, Other findings
Time frame: Immediately after each administration and up to 4 weeks post-treatment
Efficacy assessment: ALSFRS-R
The revised ALS Functional Rating Scale in ALS Patients. This scale is scored from 0 to 48, the higher the score the better.
Time frame: Change from baseline ALSFRS-R at follow-up session
