Historical Trial Data

NEALS maintains and makes available the de-identified data from NEALS-Affiliated trials, when possible. Currently there are six ALS trial datasets available to share with researchers:

ALS Trial Datasets

  • A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Topiramate in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
  • Trial of Celecoxib in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
  • A Clinical Trial of Creatine in ALS
  • Tolerance of high-dose coenzyme Q10 in ALS
  • Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Lithium in Volunteers With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
  • Clinical Trial Ceftriaxone in Subjects with ALS**

Once the data request is approved by NEALS, the requester will be put in contact with the Neurological Clinical Research Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH-NCRI) to execute a data use agreement with MGH-NCRI before the data sets are released.

PRO-ACT (Pooled Resource Open-access ALS Clinical Trials)

The PRO-ACT (Pooled Resource Open-access ALS Clinical Trials) platform houses the largest ALS clinical trials dataset ever created, with 10,723 ALS patient records from multiple completed clinical trials. Created by the non-profit Prize4Life, the PRO-ACT database was established in partnership with the NEALS Consortium, the Neurological Clinical Research Institute at Mass General Hospital, and with support from the ALS Therapy Alliance. The PRO-ACT initiative merges data from existing publicly and privately conducted ALS clinical trials resulting in an invaluable resource for accelerating discovery in the field of ALS. Access the PRO-ACT platform and further information here.

Data within PRO-ACT was graciously donated by the following organizations:

  • Knopp Biosciences
  • Neuraltus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
  • Northeast ALS Consortium
  • Novartis
  • Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc
  • Sanofi
  • Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd
