Full Study Summary:

This is a single-center, open-label clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravenous infusion of plasma from healthy young people for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The main outcome indicators are the record of adverse reactions and the rate of change of amyotrophic lateral sclerosisFunctional Rating Scale score. The secondary outcome indicators include survival time-time to the end event (death, tracheotomy, continuous ventilator dependence), forced vital capacity (FVC), recognition Knowledge function evaluation (ECAS score).
